Upgrade your impact – Add learners
Are there additional managers, staff, customers, or other resources who would benefit from additional online courses?
Of course there are. Increase your scope by adding users and get more value from your FlexTraining platform.
Reach more online learners and you create more revenue, bring more staff into compliance, or improve more people’s performance.
It’s that simple.
When you add users to your FlexTraining license or Login & Go subscription, every user you add will cost less than the one before.
The more users you have, the lower the average cost per user.

Upgrade your reliability – Host with us
Most customers host their FlexTraining catalog on our network, taking advantage of all the benefits that hosting offers.
If you are not already doing so, consider hosting your solution here.
We strongly encourage every customer to allow us to manage their mission-critical training within our network.
This is the direction of the entire E-Learning industry: training in the cloud.
More and more, our customers choose to host their E-Learning systems with us here.
Besides removing the hassle and expense of managing and configuring an internal web server, hosting with us brings many advantages,
including faster issue resolution and easier support. We are the experts when it comes to FlexTraining,
so why would you want to have your training platform deployed anywhere else?
Of course, cost matters too. We can also easily demonstrate a substantial cost savings due to removing your IT resources from the equation.

Upgrade your performance - Consider a dedicated server
The ultimate hosting platform is a dedicated FlexTraining server on our network.
For larger customers, right now is a good time to choose this path to increased performance and reliability.
Choose a dedicated FlexTraining server for faster response time for your online students. Other significant advantages include:
1. Performance & Security. Our hosting infrastructure is integrated with a super-fast, super-secure SAS-70 certified off-site facility. Redundant power, multiple high-speed trunk lines, and backup storage are there to provide reliability and outstanding performance for your FlexTraining operations.
2. Separation of resources (rack server, memory, disk storage, operating system) from everyone else. A dedicated server allows for easier trouble-shooting and yields better technical support. If the system runs slow on a given day, we don’t have to perform extensive analysis and diagnostics to determine which customer’s FlexTraining site needs attention. We know right where to look and how to start resolving the problem.
3. Eliminate the impact of activity spikes from other large customers. We all share the same internet, but a dedicated server can remove almost all technical bottlenecks.
4. Strong support for video-based courses. These are the most resource-intensive type of courses, and video training is a definite trend for the future.
The dedicated server option provides you a high-performance, stable, reliable training delivery platform for years to come.

Upgrade your independence – Separate your Login & Go accounts
It’s not unusual to see three or four business units or several locations sharing a Login & Go account. There is nothing wrong with that. But they also share media, course material, branding, and system-wide behavior options. For example there may be a number of online “schools” sharing one system.
But for many customers, breaking out content, options, and settings into separate accounts would provide a lot of benefits. The ability to define settings and operating policies differently among these operating units is just the beginning.
Consider establishing multiple accounts and the flexibility, privacy and independence that would bring, and we will work with you to make it happen.

Upgrade your courses – let us create and develop
The greatest challenge in implementing a successful online training project is in creating professional-grade learning content and building engaging, dynamic courses.
We encourage you to leverage our professional course-building services.
You have the tools you need to build courses within FlexTraining,
but having us build your course catalog can save time and bring excellent results.
One option is to have us build one course, which you may use as a model for others.
We rely on a flexible set of organized guidelines based on years of content development work,
online training management and widely-acknowledged best practices.
We can also convert content, create and format videos, record narrations, define learner exercises,
and enhance your training in many other ways.

- Reporting and analysis
Training can be done remotely using GoToMeeting or in face-to-face sessions if desired.
