I-Way Designs Announces Expansion of CD-ROM and Web Based Training Services.

ELGIN, IL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 11, 1999--I-Way Designs Learning Systems, a premier provider of customized CD-ROM and Web based multimedia training software, announced that it is expanding its operations to service the leading business software companies throughout the mid-west.

"We will target the quality organizations that want to support their software, services or products with interactive training programs," said Jim Bourassa, president and chief executive officer. "Studies have shown that Computer-Based Training (CBT) and Web-Based Training (WBT) can reduce training costs by 50% compared with instructor led training. Even more important, CBT and WBT provide an equal or higher level of learning in 40 - 60% less time than instructor led training. It also standardizes the quality of the training programs." For corporate trainers, this frees up time normally spent on low level training and allows them to focus on higher level projects.

Most major software companies offer training packages as a necessary marketing tool, but creating a quality package on budget is no easy task. "I-Way Designs has been collaborating with us on a CBT project," said the training manager for a statistical software company with over 250,000 customer sites. "As we've little experience in this area, I-Way has been extremely helpful in assisting us though this challenging, and at times complex, process. I couldn't ask for a better partner."

I-Way's staff includes a number of experts in multimedia development, training and instructional design. Their specialty is short-cycle, customized multimedia programming services, with personalized attention to assignments and easy accessibility.
