CONTACT: Maggie Geoffroy CDCI 1-800-285-3929 maggie@cdci.com http://www.cdci.com Internet-Based Consulting offers CDCI Clients Immediate Solutions ATLANTA, GA - August 18, 2000 - Construction Data Control, Inc. (CDCI), designer and developer of construction management software, announces Internet-Based Consulting (IBC), a new option for software training. Distance training via the Web offers CDCI clients convenience at a reasonable price. This time and cost efficient alternative is suggestive for clients who need to train new employees with their software or for those clients who desire supplemental consulting. Internet-Based Consulting uses Microsoft's NetMeeting to conduct the online training sessions. This technology gives both parties access to the same screen while allowing them to alternate between control of the program. Instead of using sample, hypothetical company data, our training is conducted using the client's company data. This feature is particularly useful because the consultant is able to immediately observe and pinpoint any procedural errors and then directly inquire about their concerns on site with their trainer. "Our clients have indicated that there is a need for short and immediate training sessions. Many times an office may hire a new AP Clerk or Junior Estimator. Travel costs for training can quickly deter a company from properly training a new employee, especially with the amount of turnover that exists in the market today," comments Phil Zenner, CDCI Training Manager. "IBC provides the perfect alternative to bringing new employees up to speed at a low cost." Internet-Based Consulting, or IBC, gives CDCI clients access to immediate training sessions in hourly increments. CDCI's entry-level systems are also intuitive and do not require multiple days of training. Training in these short, Web-like sessions increases learning retention. Learning is also reinforced when training is supplemented with the client's actual data. With the advantages of familiarity and repetition, clients are able to learn more on their next visit. All of this contributes to the client returning to the office feeling more assured and efficient when they test out their new skills on their own. With IBC, clients can spend a few hours with a CDCI Consultant on the specific issues they would like to address. Most clients generally enroll in an onsite or classroom training session prior to implementing a new high-end accounting or estimating software system. However, many times a client can benefit from one-on-one consulting that targets specific procedures, such as Union payroll setup or a month-end closing procedure. These two training tools combined take user efficiency to the next level. Pam Bertino is enthusiastic about IBC as she comments that she would definitely recommend this training program because of its convenience and level of support. She adds that her on line trainer was "excellent," and that the patient and simple fashion in which she was taught left her with a "better understanding of the software and more comfortable with CDCI."
