In January 2000, France Telecom became the sole proprietor of Global One. The rest is holding stable so we can get a stronger financial ground. Meeting this goal requires additional training for U.S. employees. Since the company signed on with VCampus two years ago, Global One had just one U.S. location, in Reston Virginia. Fortunately, we have VCampus to rely on for training these people.
Cost is a huge advantage.
The virtual campus is a supplement, rather than replacement, for training at Global One. The organization has always been so small. It has just been a matter of extending what we didn't have before. The company integrates the virtual campus with classroom training offered to employees at the U.S. headquarters in Reston Virginia and some of the sites in Europe. The virtual campus does not yet extend to job specific functions.
