Client Testimonials Testimonial from Janet Jordan MVA: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WebTrain has been invaluable to our operations both at VirtualAssistanceU.com and YourMVA.com. We rely heavily on the WebTrain technology for collaboration with clients and learning team participants. The site integration capabilities and functionality of the platform enables us to deliver compelling, relevant, up-to-the-minute courseware and products globally. In a recent interview with WSRadio.WS, I commented about the wonderful technology at WebTrain. I love being able to use the site as a virtual office complete with webcam, whiteboard, screencasting and full-duplex discussions. It's the next best thing to being there. WebTrain is an integral part of our ministry operations as well at Higher-Calling.org. We periodically host training sessions with our pastors and ministers overseas in the Philippines. It is an invaluable training tool for them. Additionally, our cybercongregants join us for prayer requests and discussions in the virtual office as well. A visit to our main parent site JordanGroup.org shows just how much we rely on WebTrain. We have integrated the technology throughout the various organizations. I highly recommend WebTrain to all who are seeking cutting edge technology in the web-conferencing arena. Sincerely, Janet L.

They don't create followers, they create more leaders." Tom Peters -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Testimonial from Intense School: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello WebTrain, Recently your WebTrain software was upgraded and immediately we noticed the all-over performance was improved. Strangely though an obscure issue arose with the WebTrain screen-casting function. We currently use the screen casting feature extensively in our five day CISCO and MCSE on-line courses to demonstrate sophisticated procedures that are difficult for the students to master. The screen-casting issue only manifested itself when we continually pagedown through a large number of text pages. As soon as we realized we had an issue we contacted WebTrain support, and like Bloodhounds, they began tracking down the problem. By the next morning the issue had been fully resolved and we continued as if nothing had happened. In our very next class we saw the best evaluations we have had to date. Thank you.
