"Aspen enables us to provide consistent, effective training to our global workforce," said Scott Gray, director of training and development at Baker Hughes INTEQ.

-- Increasing the use of Web-based training to:

-- Reduce travel and other costs associated with on-site

training.

training information.

requirements to meet International compliance and quality

standards. Managing all learning and training information in a

single repository, so the company can accurately report on

he or she moves around within the organization.
