Kaplan Releases Demo Simulations with STT Trainer 4.2



Simulation and Documentation Authoring Software Reduces Calls to Support Desks With Introduction of Demo Simulations for End-users of Business Applications

ATLANTA, March 3 / -- Kaplan IT Learning, a division of Kaplan, Inc., launches the latest version of its award-winning simulation and documentation authoring tool, STT Trainer.

Chief learning officers, IT project managers, training managers and human resource managers use STT Trainer to reduce the time and cost required to train and support end users on applications ranging from specialized ERP and CRM systems to more generally used Windows, Web and Java based applications.

STT Trainer rapidly generates different modes of high quality end-user training and support content from a single file, such as simulation tutorials and assessments, as well as documentation in Word and HTML. In this latest release, Kaplan adds on "demo-mode" simulations as one of the modes of content that users can generate with STT Trainer. STT Trainer's demo-mode simulations can be used to show end-users how to perform a particular task in their business applications in the form of a movie clip, with accompanying instructions.

"STT Trainer's demo-mode simulations are ideal for self-service end-user support," said Chip Schuneman, President of Kaplan IT Learning. "Seeing the task being performed on your screen is much more effective than reading how to do it and then trying to figure it out on your own through trial and error."

"By making the demo-mode simulations accessible as online help in an application, customers can experience a higher return on investment from STT Trainer because the software's role is extended from a training tool to a long-term support tool," Schuneman said.

Kaplan IT Learning will be demonstrating STT Trainer 4.2 at VNU Expo's Training 2006 International Conference and Exhibition, March 6 - 8 2006 in Orlando, Florida. STT Trainer was voted "Most Innovative" simulation tool at Training 2005.
