Two Informatics Firms, Xcelerated Learning Dynamics and Clear Measures, Open Covington, Kentucky, Operations Centers

12/11/2013
Two informatics companies, Xcelerated Learning Dynamics and Clear Measures, opened production centers at the RiverCenter Office Complex in Covington, Kentucky. Gov. Steve Beshear’s Office said the openings, combined with expansions of the parent companies, will create 341 jobs in northern Kentucky during the next three years.

“XLD and Clear Measures’ investments show that Kentucky is an innovative and exciting place for startups and information technology businesses,” said Gov. Beshear. “This is a great opportunity for Northern Kentucky, where businesses have access to an outstanding high-tech workforce, a strategic location and an ideal business climate.”

Clear Measures is locating 121 jobs in Covington, with a projection of adding 60 additional jobs in the next three years, bringing its total employment to 181.

Clear Measures involves two local IT firms, Lucrum and dbaDIRECT, providing IT infrastructure management services to the financial services, retail, health care and education industries. Clear Measures will provide strategic management consulting, scalable IT project support, staff augmentation and infrastructure management services across the globe. Clear Measures will also build, manage and enhance systems that make data meaningful.

“As a proud Kentucky firm, Clear Measures is honored to share our new beginning with Gov. Beshear and the entire state,” said John Bostick, CEO of Clear Measures. “Exciting things are happening in Covington and all along the Kentucky technology corridor.”

Xcelerated Learning Dynamics is creating up to 50 jobs in the next three years. The company is transforming health care education by helping organizations elevate their performance with efficient and effective learning programs.

XLD was launched from Covington-based TiER1 Performance Solutions in 2012 to help hospital systems meet the emerging challenges of health care reform by quickly aligning their workforces with the rapidly evolving Affordable Care Act. TiER1 has recently located 70 jobs to the RiverCenter and is planning to add 40 more in the next three years.

“Xcelerated Learning Dynamics is transforming health care education and organizational performance by introducing a new model of learning that personalizes training to an individual based on their existing knowledge,” said Normand Desmarais, Co-Founder of XLD. “In today’s health care environment, in which hospitals are focused on cost cutting and operational efficiencies, XLD’s learning model results in a highly efficient focus of human capital investment.”

“Having two home-grown informatics companies expand and succeed locks in our reputation as a technology hub in Kentucky,” said Northern Kentucky Tri-ED Chair and Campbell County Judge-Executive Steve Pendery. “Having Clear Measures and XLD in our region, hiring graduates of our Northern Kentucky higher education institutions, helps us retain a talented workforce.”
