UK-based Futuremedia PLC (Nasdaq: FMDAY), a leading provider of integrated e-Learning solutions, today announced that The Ford Design Institute (FDI) of Ford Motor Company based in Dearborn, Michigan, USA, has agreed to extend its current 20,000 learner/user Solstra licence for another three years.

The Futuremedia and Ford teams have worked closely over the last two years to produce a Solstra Learning Management System that positions FDI perfectly for a substantial planned increase in usage over the coming months. Futuremedia sees the order extension, agreed five months before expiry of the original, as evidence of a successful working relationship.
The extension of the licence now allows Ford Motor Company training management to ramp up the deployment and provision of on-line support for Ford engineers involved in the Ford Technical Education Program (FTEP) and Assessment of Prior Experience & Learning (APEL).
Peter Norris, Futuremedia Account Director for Ford Motor Company, commented: “The contract renewal indicates the seriousness with which Ford takes e-Learning within its various business units. It also reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to providing fast, effective and relevant training to its personnel, wherever and whenever it is required.”
