"This new collaboration between Asymetrix and Deloitte Consulting, opens a vast new spectrum in customer training content," said Gordon Rogers, vice president of strategic alliances at Asymetrix Learning Systems. "Now customers can significantly reduce training time and provide users with easy-to-maintain online materials. We are pleased to be allied with a recognized leader in SAP training and to showcase Asymetrix tools and technology that provide superior delivery of training through the Web."

The Basic Navigation Web-based course can be customized with the Asymetrix Toolbook II line of authoring products. Toolbook II enables training managers to add and modify information in the courseware, thus allowing organizations to train their employees with materials and course content that have the same look and feel as the actual software system they will be using. The fact that the courseware is web-based makes it easier to deploy, update, and provide access to users.

"Many computer based training and web-based training programs on the market today are not easily customizable," said Leigh Kelleher, principal, Global Educational Services of Deloitte Consulting. "Basic Navigation is a highly flexible solution that enables clients to tailor Web-based courses on their own. Many clients already own Toolbook II, which means they do not have to purchase additional software for WBT course development. The affordable, flat rate cost of Basic Navigation makes it appealing to companies of all sizes."
