History of Service Innovations
Almost 25 years ago, when Edcor began providing Learning Management Services, the notion of outsourcing the administration of employee training seemed foreign to many companies. Edcor's sales and client list have grown steadily as it continues to demonstrate the ability to provide added value to clients. The continual upgrading of processes and technology has allowed Edcor not only to retain, but also grow its client roster to include many companies recognized on Fortune Magazine's "Best Companies to Work For" list.

Edcor was an early adopter of the Internet and web-based applications. In fact - throughout it’s history Edcor has been proactively bringing innovation to its clients.

Edcor's history of investing in improvements in technology and processes has positioned the company as a long-term, valued service provider to some of the world’s most dynamic and successful corporations.
