Customer priorities have shifted away from stand-alone training courses. Corporations increasingly demand a more comprehensive "one-stop-shopping" approach to meet their training needs, leading to convergence within the e-training industry. Value-added services in particular – such as needs assessment and custom curriculum design, online mentoring and performance support, reporting and tracking, and hosting – are expected to fuel market growth in the next several years. 

Technological barriers are diminishing. The main hurdles to e-learning, such as lack of interactivity, content availability, technology standards, and bandwidth, are currently being addressed. Especially the continued adoption of broadband should facilitate higher use rates of media-rich e-learning products. 

Economy is evolving to a knowledge-based economy. In the last four decades, economic and technological forces have transformed the U.S. economy from a production-based economy to a service-based economy. In the old economy, corporate value and value creation were defined primarily through physical and financial assets. The new economy puts a premium on intellectual capital. However, the life of knowledge and human skills today is shorter than ever, increasing the pressure to remain at the forefront of education and training throughout a career. In the midst of globalization and technological revolution, four-year degrees are just the beginning of a forty-year continuing education. Life-long learning may be considered merely a buzzword today, but it is quickly becoming an imperative. 

A paradigm shift in the way education is viewed and delivered. At the beginning of the new millennium, corporations view learning increasingly as a competitive weapon rather than an annoying cost factor. Business success depends more and more on high-quality employee performance, which in turn requires high-quality training. Corporate executives are beginning to understand that enhancing employee skills is key to creating a sustainable competitive advantage. In the quest to remain competitive in today’s labor-tight market, companies are exploiting advances in technology to train employees more rapidly, more effectively, and at less expense than in the past.

As integrated training solutions expand, customers are relying more on vendors to provide knowledge and expertise in emerging training technologies. Large customers are looking for economical, rapid, and pragmatic training solutions that have the minimum impact on internal customer resources. 

These companies are looking for partners who are flexible, responsive, affordable, and easy to do business with. 

Our target market demonstrates the following characteristics and trends: 

• An increasing desire to see demonsratable cost savings and returns on training investments
• A trend away from elegant instructional design and media towards low-cost, quickly deployed, and effective training solutions
• The lengthening of the decision process has trained solutions increasing costs, complexity, and the uncertainty of a reasonable business return
• Standards for interoperability are becoming more important as training solutions growing complexity and impact across broader company environments

Customers are interested in companies that can provide end-to-end comprehensive training solutions that encompass not only training content but also administration, and delivery, management, and re-purposing.

MG Force’s e-Training: Computer-Based Training and Web-Based Training
Using the most innovative training media allows your users to receive just-in-time training from the desktop or the Web. MG Force e-Training helps you train end users throughout the world without incurring travel expenses or time away from the job. All of this makes MG Force e-Training one of the most cost-effective and convenient ways to roll out training to many users, refresh the skills of existing staff and train new employees.

MG Force Computer-Based Training and Web-Based Training
Learn anywhere, anytime with MG Force Computer-Based Training (CBT) and Web-Based Training (WBT) courses. Available 24/7, self-paced CBT/WBT teaches basic enduser skills conveniently and cost-effectively by greatly reducing scheduling challenges and workday disruptions commonly associated with training. Whether located at headquarters or remote sites, all users get the same consistent and thorough training materials. With CBT/WBT, you focus on what you need to know. The modular format allows students to pick and choose the lessons necessary for their particular jobs. Working with interactive procedures, users experience the look and feel of MG Force products before working with a live application. CBT/WBT courses present commonly accessed product features and functions in a realistic work environment where students practice and test their new skills. Best of all, CBT/WBT courses are a valuable reference tool when users want a training refresher.

Delivery and Deployment
The content of the CBT and WBT for each product is exactly the same; you just need to consider how you will deploy the training to your users. CBT can be installed at individual workstations, or it can be deployed over a LAN. When CBT is used over a LAN, it has an administration module for tracking user progress and test scores. WBT is deployed over your intranet, and is only available for 50 user licenses or greater.

Evaluation and Feedback 
One of the most difficult parts about stand-up training with high-level instructors is conveying the message to a entry-level user. Many times the engineers talk above the non-engineers level. By designing a training application tailored to the low-end student and making it self-paced, students can take extra time, if needed, to go over a point they may be struggling with. This added benefit of self-paced learning is what has made this training endeavor so successful. MG Force’s instructional designers break the material into learn-able segments for all levels of students. This simplistic approach makes it easy to digest even the most difficult topics. The animation, narration and interactivity makes the modules very interesting and easy-to-understand. The best part of all is the performance, at a 56K connection, you will be able to stream "rich-media" to each page of every subject.

Since its inception in 1994, MG Force has specialized in producing customized multimedia solutions that meet our clients' unique corporate strategies. We help our clients "think outside the box," enabling them to move beyond traditional methods of marketing and communication.

With the correct use of today's multimedia tools, your sales and marketing teams can drive your message home more effectively than ever before. We help your staff deliver hard-hitting presentations, interactive demonstrations and dynamic product launches. 

Instead of static, two-dimensional collateral materials such as handouts, slides and transparencies (which merely explain your products or services) your sales people can actually show prospects the benefits of working with your company. Using a combination of video, audio, animation and graphics, your sales people are equipped with superior marketing tools. They will deliver more consistent, thorough and powerful presentations, dramatically improving the prospect's willingness to work with your company. As a result, sales cycles will shorten, close ratios will rise, and higher profits will be realized. 

In addition, multimedia tools can help close business deals when your sales force cannot be there in person. MG Force can create compelling promotional CD-ROMs for distribution to your prospective clients. With the click of a button, the targeted customer can take an interactive tour of your company, view narrated presentations and watch virtual product demonstrations, focusing on the information most relevant to his specific needs and interests. 

With an interactive CD-ROM, your clients can receive your message when it is convenient for them, while moving along at their own pace. They'll gain a thorough understanding of your company and will be more likely to form a positive impression of your organization. Meanwhile, you will make more efficient use of your sales force, save on travel expenses and improve your chances for gaining new business.
