Pennant International Group has announced a strategic partnership with Aquila Learning Ltd

Cheltenham-based training technology provider Pennant International Group has announced a strategic partnership with Aquila Learning Ltd, a developer of technologies and services for complex training needs.

Pennant International provides training technologies and product support for the defence, aerospace and other industries.

Pennant said the partnership aims for a collaboration on several projects, including the integration of the ALaRMS (Aquila Learning and Requirements/Resource/Record) Management System into Pennant's market-leading IPS software suite (GenS, Analyzer and R4i).

Aquila already has established capabilities within defence organisations and OEMs in the UK and overseas. The new partnership agreement will provide users with additional capabilities and functionality, including an end-to-end S-Series software toolkit.
