There was no method of offering internal classroom training, or any other kind of training, to employees spread around the globe. VCampus marked the first attempt to spread training into the 65 Global One offices around the world. In the past, employees that needed technical knowledge for computer or networking equipment were pretty much on their own to go out and obtain classroom training. They would first have to track a course down and then submit a request. Global One would pay for training but it was up to the employee to find a local company that would train in the type of skills they needed.
Management wants to keep the network open for customers rather than our internal use.
VCampus is a solution that doesn't choke our network if we have several people in the world taking courses. As a consequence, the courses are not very exciting. I think a good addition, if we can ever get the bandwidth, will be to do live presentations that we can do virtually, that type of technology, where if Global One is introducing a specific new product, we can't rely on VCampus to do that for us. VCampus provides a service that wouldn't otherwise exist for Global One employees. In Europe, only seven out of 65 sites receive management and professional development training on a regular basis by way of a mobile classroom.
