Who are we and how did we get here?

Our Story

Co-Founders, John Delano and Ali Shahrazad conceptualized Saltbox in October 2010 to address the widening gap between the learning needs of today's always connected, mobile workforce and the institutionally embedded communication and learning management systems commonly found in the enterprise workplace.

Validation

Further research confirmed that to gain a competitive advantage and better serve customers, today's most productive sales and support staff prefer to learn through a combination of real time information from the internet, credible people (inside and outside the company) and on-demand company searchable information.

Build around the learner

Starting with the end user guiding principles - what they want to know, when they want to know it, how they choose to learn it - and then adding administrative functions for evaluating and reporting on work force readiness, we developed the Saltbox Software as a Service stand-alone solution and in October 2011, unveiled the Saltbox Jive Software application at JiveWorld 11!

Looking forward

We believe developing sales and support personnel to best serve the customer requires both knowledge and skills development. Our initial application addresses speed to knowledge while our roadmap includes skills development tools for one-on-one coaching and immersive learning practice. Learn more about us on our blog

Saltbox Services Unveils SaLTBOX™ at JiveWorld11!

The application that lets you learn what you want, when you want, how you choose!

JIVEWORLD, Las Vegas, NV, October 5, 2011 – Saltbox Services today announced SaLTBOX™ at JiveWorld.

Saltbox Services announces the first public demonstration of SaLTBOX™, a communication and social micro learning application that enables companies to increase employee speed to knowledge through mobile delivery of product, company and industry information while maintaining critical reporting necessary for companies.

Saltbox Services believes employees should have access to what they want to know, when they want to know it, how they choose to learn it. In a world that is becoming more connected and mobile, SaLTBOX™ bridges the gap between structured enterprise LMS learning and informal social learning in order to accelerate employee speed to knowledge.

"It was a natural decision to launch the first SaLTBOX™ application with Jive Software, a leading Social Business company recognized by industry analysts" says John Delano, CEO & Co-founder of Saltbox Services. "Companies using Jive understand that Social Business is the new way to engage employees, customers and the social web. Through the SaLTBOX™ mobile communication and social micro learning application, companies can improve customer engagement and empower their teams with real-time access to product, company, and industry information."

"Just as consumer social technologies are changing the way we live, social business software is transforming the way we work" said Robin Bordoli, President, Jive Apps Market. "Innovative companies like Saltbox that are here at JiveWorld are leveraging the power of social through Jive to change the way business gets done in the enterprise."
