American Research Institute, Inc. (ARI, www.americanri.com) is a Triangle-based provider of comprehensive software & services for adult learning including a first-of-its-kind proprietary 3D immersive (3Di) learning development and delivery system. ARI is pioneering the application of highly effective immersive training for large scale corporate & government organizations, driven by advanced technology first introduced in massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs). This fast growing company was formed in 2002 and is increasingly emphasizing its unique SaaS offering to enable customers to achieve maximum effectiveness through high-quality, educationally sound, super engaging, and mission-critical training.

Scale Finance has provided part-time CFO and Senior Controller support services for ARI since 2009 and recently managed a process to secure a flexible and affordable senior credit facility with an appropriate financial partner. Federal National Payables, based in Bethesda, Maryland, is providing ARI’s loan which will support working capital and the accelerating growth of the business.

ARI serves corporations, government, other Learning Management System (LMS) vendors, content development vendors, and will have an online content exchange serving the public generally. The company strongly believes in reinforced skill-building through blended learning solutions – immersive, e-learning, classroom, and mobile-delivered. ARI therefore offers a single-source, complete web-based products & services solution including proprietary rapid Content Development Tools, Content Inventory, Training/Certification Programs, Corporate University solutions, Live Distance Learning, Tracking/Measurement, Resource Management, Registration, & E-Commerce.

The explosive growth of the Internet, wireless, and other technologies provides the opportunity to develop more cost-effective and efficient methods to train adults than either classroom or early computer-based training offered. Today, corporations and government agencies require strategic education solutions to remain competitive, and to ensure worker competency. ARI has learned how to effectively blend technologies and techniques using innovative approaches to create or improve learning programs designed to optimize the results of any education plan.
