VideotelTM, the leading global provider of e-Learning maritime
training solutions and a company of KVH Industries, Inc.,
(Nasdaq:KVHI), has released the Videotel Partner API, an
application programming interface that facilitates the exchange of
data between Videotel and any of its clients’ crew management
software systems. Videotel developed the API in collaboration with
software and solutions developer Netvision, whose products include
Compas, one of the leading crew management systems for the maritime
industry. The Videotel Partner API is designed to be used with any
crew management software; there is no additional fee for the
service.
The Videotel Partner API is designed to allow Videotel and crew
management systems, including Compas, to communicate with each
other and automatically update and share information. Eliminating
the need for manual input and dual recordkeeping, the API lets ship
operators easily manage information such as training history,
computer-based training (CBT) scores, and ship assignments for
individual crewmembers from a single system, thus ensuring that the
most up-to-date crew data is available when needed.
“This is a great initiative, as it means individual ships in a
fleet can access crew login information automatically via our
Videotel On Demand (VOD) unit,” says Nigel Cleave, Videotel’s chief
executive officer. “The API will collate all crew CBT test results
from the VOD and share it with our clients’ crew management
systems. The benefit to our clients is that all their data will be
stored, managed, and updated in one central location, saving them
time, effort, and money.”
“Videotel’s API is a totally secure and robust interface. Being
able to track crewmembers’ ship assignments and their training
history from one central database will save valuable time and
resources,” says Cornel Ciocan, Netvision’s general manager and
chief software architect. “We are really happy to be the first crew
management software provider to partner with Videotel in using its
API, and offer a totally integrated data exchange solution for our
respective clients.”
Videotel’s training solutions are in use on more than 12,000
vessels worldwide, and include 950 new and updated titles to meet
current seafarer training needs. The Videotel programs are
available in a range of formats, including 500+ e-Learning courses,
more than twice the number of CBTs offered by competitors. Videotel
has recorded more than 10.5 million training events in recent
years; its training programs are developed in cooperation with
leading industry experts and have been recognized with nearly 100
awards.
