History

Certpoint was founded in 1996 in New York by father and son Constantin and Ara Ohanian.

Formerly known as Vuepoint.[1]

The company's first client was The Hartford, an insurance company that remains a customer decades later. Certpoint clients include Toyota, Honda, Stanley Black & Decker.[2][3]

Just recently, DCI Donor Services, Inc selected Certpoint as its learning management system (LMS) provider across its family of organ and tissue recovery companies.[4]

In June 1, 2007, Vuepoint and Centre of Excellence for Applied Research and Training (CERT) became partners and was renamed CERTPOINT Systems Inc.[5]

On 15 November 2011, Certpoint secured $3.5 million growth round to expand sales and channel partnerships.[6]

On March 4, 2013, Infor announced an agreement to combine with the company.[7] Upon completion of the transaction, as announced on April 2, 2013,[8] the company became part of Infor's Learning Technologies team, where they were led by the CERTPOINT's CEO, Ara Ohanian, who became vice president and general manager.
