Currently, much of Unilever's training is classroom based, which means that many of the staff are unable to join relevant sessions.
Breeze will allow the company to rapidly create and deploy engaging content in order to broaden and maximise the adoption of e-learning courses, and to enrich the blended mix across the learning portfolio.
"Breeze really has shown us a glimpse of the future".

"It's stretched our capability in everything we do in learning, allowing us to leverage quality knowledge sharing, and enrich knowledge acquisition," said David Coleman, Global Learning Manager for Unilever.
"With creative use of Breeze technology, the classroom can become a knowledge factory for the web, producing recorded nuggets that can be reused in other learning formats like e-learning courses or reference materials".
"With Breeze Live we can do interactive online classroom training, and broadcasting of live events".
"Using Breeze Presenter you can equip trainers with rapid development tools that are genuinely easy to use, and can be exported both for web and CDRom".
"You can do more, for more people, with very little".
"What you can do grows everyday!" Recording presentations and training in Breeze allows staff to revisit courses after they have returned to the workplace.
It also allows the distribution of management speeches to a global audience, which means Unilever can ensure the delivery of consistent corporate messaging to all employees".
"There is an abundance of software in the e-learning marketplace and companies have a difficult choice with regards to which solution to select," Coleman said, "However, as organisations become more savvy about what makes an effective solution, products like Breeze stand apart from the competition".
"The ability for Unilever to create engaging, interactive content means we expect the adoption of other forms of learning, to reach a new high." "Unilever selected Macromedia Breeze for its flexibility, cost effectiveness and because it allows non-technical subject matter experts to rapidly develop and deliver content," said Ian Turner, Managing Director, Northern Region, Macromedia "Breeze enriches the e-learning experience and maximises the global reach of training courses.".
