Backing up expansion and growth through Aura’s eLearning
“Our entry in eLearning has been mainly driven by our desire to optimize processes and help our expansion and growth through staff training. Together with Aura Interactiva, we have developed over 50 strategic solutions encompassing about 100,000 training events (man-course), and about 150 eLearning hours have been developed on topics such as business processes, customer service, information systems (SAP), among others.”

The company is part of Grupo Gigante, composed of several well known firms such as Gigante, TOK´s, Office Depot, and Radio Shack, and it has become one of the strongest commercial groups in Mexico with over 500 points of sale in the country.
“In regard to eLearning strategy development, there are some elements to consider: from course quality, particularly, teaching design, to organizational change management, and in this sense, after a thorough supplier hiring process, Gigante, chose Aura Interactiva because it was the company offering the highest price/value ratio and also because it had well-proven experience to develop such major projects,” added Ms. Mejía.
