How can one employee know everything from auto and home insurance to touring and travel? Our amazing, award-winning performance support system came to the rescue, with a documented over 1000% ROI within 6 months. The look, technology, and design were all conceived and implemented by us. We built the content management tools, created the internal organization and trained client staff members in content design and authoring.

About Re-useable Content Objects
Web Site
Client: Oracle
When performance support, training, and knowledge management can come together in a new information authoring and distribution system, the implications are significant. Oracle asked us to use our KMS know-how to develop a re-useable content object methodology. And then we developed a sleek interface, animations, and interesting scenarios to put our theories into action for an audience of the press, industry and learning professionals. Take a look.

SunTan
Training and Performance Support Modules
Client: Sun
Based on the principle of reusable, granular content, we created intranet-based training modules -- and then integrated them with performance support. The audience (sales and technical managers worldwide) had limited time -- our approach meant that training time was spent on content types appropriate to learning. Users didn't waste time in attempts to absorb content types more appropriate to just-in-time performance support. Take a look.
