Technology to help people learn

We build our learning platform with just one goal in mind: to help people learn.
We think there is only one true way to do this: with personalized learning!

“Scratch your own itch”
Both founders had this drive independently when starting the company. René Persoon, who had a training agency, was searching far and wide for a way to make sure his students would not forget what they had learned. He started aNewSpring to support his own training. Martèn de Prez, an economics student from Rotterdam struggled to memorise his study materials because of his dyslexic learning challenge.

He and his room mate Walter Brand, who had to overcome the same challenge, dreamed of the possibilities internet technology could offer people like themselves. René and Martèn joined efforts in further developing a solution for retention training: MemoTrainer.

Back in 2004 especially corporate training companies were looking for ways to make learning more efficient and effective. The MemoTrainer was greatly appreciated by learners from a broad range of backgrounds. From constructors to project managers and financial professionals got higher grades because of the personalised exam trainings.

Innovation that works
We still have that practical and straightforward approach to learning innovation that Walter, René and Martèn showed back then.

Innovating together with our clients made the aNewSpring software as a service evolve into the all-in-one platform we are now. aNewSpring now has a broad range of functionality from simple testing to advanced adaptive and social learning configuration including retention training.

Software as a Service + Service
We think delivering software is about delivering solutions. That’s why we offer you Software as a Service + Service. This means we not only take care of all the technical details but also organize support for you, your developers and your learners in various ways, so you can fully focus on taking your learning product to the next level.

All for one goal: to help you be successful!

Win-win business model
We are confident that our solution will really create value for our clients and their learners, therefore it is free to start using aNewSpring. After that we use a pay-per-use business model based on the success of our clients.

Healthy growth
Together 250 clients already trained over 500,000 learners. These learners have completed over 50 million personalized lessons and already more than 10.000 companies have had training delivered through our platform.

In 2012 aNewSpring showed a turnover growth rate of 40% with a respectable profit margin.

Based on our customer feedback and expansion into the rest of Europe, the United States and India we expect aNewSpring to grow even further.
