SMC is a leading global provider of automation solutions and pneumatic components. The company supports customers from a wide range of industries in making their production processes more efficient, safer, and more sustainable. With innovative technologies and a strong focus on quality and service, SMC sets standards in industrial automation.
Initial Situation and Objectives
SMC faced the challenge of setting up a learning management system (LMS) and a talent management system (TMS) that would optimally reflect their processes. The goal was to create a digital platform that would efficiently support both employee training and performance development.
Pain Points
Introducing a new LMS and TMS is no easy task; especially when existing processes have to be taken into account and individual requirements implemented. For SMC, this meant mapping complex structures in an understandable way, adjusting priorities flexibly, and keeping an overview at all times.
This is exactly where talessio’s strength came into play: when conditions changed, the team reacted quickly and pragmatically. Open communication and regular feedback loops ensured that everyone involved was transparently integrated and knew where the project stood at all times. This collaborative approach built trust and paved the way for sustainable solutions without long waiting times or unnecessary research.


Collaborative Partnership
From the outset, talessio supported the project with a clear structure and a high level of expertise. The team was always on hand to offer advice and assistance, whether through comprehensive Confluence documentation, a detailed workbook, admin sessions, or the development of customized solutions for SMC. SMC found the consulting services to be inspiring and solution-oriented. The combination of technical expertise and practical relevance was particularly helpful. Complex topics were explained in an understandable way, new perspectives were opened up, and implementation was designed efficiently with reliable deadlines and a pleasant working atmosphere.
The Result
With the implementation of Cornerstone Learning and Performance, SMC now has a tailor-made platform that optimally supports their processes. The solution is sustainable, user-friendly, and provides the basis for a modern learning and performance culture.
