The platform has a demonstrated success rate in accelerating its clients’capability development by twofold, thus enabling a significant workforce transformation & achievement of company goals. This sounds even more critical, considering the fact that upskilling costs 75 percent less than replacing/hiring new employees.
Unified Discovery
A typical knowledge worker learns throughout the day and weeks from various sources in the form of micro-learning by reading articles, watching videos or reaching-out to internal or external experts for their tacit knowledge to complete their tasks. In addition to this, once in few months, knowledge workers also need to take macro-learning from various external & internal sources in the form of long-form courses, assessments & so forth. While going through the Herculean task of connecting to these hundreds of sources of content & experts, employees face the major hurdles of broken discovery, broken access and broken tracking.
Coming to the rescue EdCast provides unified discovery through its search that cover all sources of internal, external content and experts. The company solves the access problem with its unified SSO(Single Sign-On) that cascades across all providers. On top of this, the platform tracks all usage to build data driven insights on what people are consuming and their preferences in order to serve them smart recommendations that result in higher productivity.
“Workforce in any size of the organization requires access to the right knowledge at the right time in the flow of work so that they can effectively execute on workflows and tasks.
Hence our AI technology curates millions of pieces of content daily & organizes them against a global taxonomy as well as the custom taxonomy of an enterprise,” remarks Karl Mehta, CEO EdCast. Going the extra mile its machine learning algorithm further drives personalized knowledge, learning and automation of work.

Every workflow goes through three steps of digital transformation at leading companies: Digtization, Atomization and Automation. EdCast helps drive employee productivity at each of these steps. “When processes are digitized, in-app guides/knowledge, and learning/upskilling capability are required to support the digital adoption of those processes. EdCast also offers intelligence and analytics on where these processes are too long and can be atomized and then we provide ability to Automate using our MyGuide Automator,” explains Karl.
EdCast has forged a stellar reputation as the core infrastructure for the ‘Future of Work’ by providing the Digital Knowledge Workspace through its AI-assisted personalized learning, workflow guides and automation. The best part is EdCast also enhances/ augments core business applications like Google Search, O365, Gsuite, Salesforce, VMWare workspaceONE, FB Workplace and Service NOW with its technology.
