Macola, the company that delivers software that businesses never outgrow, today announced a comprehensive training schedule for its international Business Partners. These classes will be held in various locations around the globe, and will focus on a wide range of key Macola subject material.
"Macola's international growth, especially over the past year, has been a catalyst in our overall success," said company President and CEO Bruce A. Hollinger. "By adding to our international class schedule, we will be able to offer more accessible educational options for our Business Partners, and at the same time ensure that Macola's consistent, quality curriculum remains a major part of this aggressive expansion."
The scope of coursework covers a wide range of topics, from Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC), to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Also included in this line-up are classes involving two cutting-edge Microsoft-based technologies, SQL Server and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The instructors, most of whom are members of Macola's education department, are proven experts in these fields.
The majority of this aggressive six-month schedule will be hosted at Macola's international headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Other sessions will be held in Mexico and Australia to meet the increased demand in these countries, with additional training sites being added in the months to come. Macola's strong international division also boasts offices in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Poland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
"This is an important step for us as a company," said Director of International Operations Jon Liebold. "We are now able to bring our education department's high level of expertise to more of the people who rely on these informative sessions. Our international Business Partners will benefit greatly from this, and the increased participation on a global level will enhance our worldwide implementations in ways that are really immeasurable."
Macola delivers Microsoft-based technology solutions to growth-oriented small and midsize companies. More than 16,000 sites and 175,000 customers worldwide operate their businesses using Macola software, and three new companies commit to Macola Software every day. Macola grew almost 30 percent last year and has sustained that rate of growth approximately every year since 1990. During the last fiscal year, Macola experienced a dramatic expansion of more than 230 percent in international sales, which now represents approximately 15 percent of annual revenues.
