END OF LIFE of our Computer-Based Training

September 30, 2018 was the scheduled End of Life for our computer-based (also known as “installed”) training products. The software that we used to create all of our training has been mothballed forcing us to switch to a new development platform that doesn’t give us the option of providing an installed version of our courseware. Further, because the tools we use to create the training are no longer supported, we are in a precarious position in being able to support our customers who use those products.

While we know that the installed version worked well for some of our customers, by 2017 98% of our sales were with our online training options while sales of our installed (computer-based) products have trickled to less than 2% in the same period. This is why we focused our resources on enhancing and expanding our online products rather than seeking alternatives to our installed products. This shift is happening throughout the software industry as developers across the board are moving to cloud-based software as a service.
