Kaplan introduces new features to STT Trainer simulation training software

Windows Vista support and enhanced Web content compression provide enhanced training proficiency on enterprise applications.

Atlanta, Georgia, 23 Aug 2007

Kaplan IT Learning, a leading provider of certification preparation, assessment, learning services and software to help individuals and organisations train on technology and prepare for technology certifications, announces the release of several new features, including Windows Vista support and enhanced Web content compression to its award-winning, simulation-based training and documentation authoring tool, STT Trainer.

STT Trainer enables authors to create end-user training for enterprise systems such as SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft, in addition to customised applications.

Chief learning officers, IT project managers, training managers and human resource managers use STT Trainer to reduce the time and cost required to train and support end-users on applications ranging from specialised ERP and CRM systems to more generally used Windows, Web and Java-based applications.

STT Trainer's newest innovative features include:

* Windows Vista Support
STT Trainer can now be installed on the Vista platform, create training for Vista applications, and publish documentation in Word 2007.

* Enhanced Web Content Compression
Ideal for global deployments and low-bandwidth environments, learners benefit from embedded Flash technology. STT Web Player now compresses and decompresses training content from the file server to the browser, delivering content up to 40% faster in low-bandwidth.

* Multiple Browser/ Platform Support
Users without Internet Explorer can now access training content through a dynamically generated HTML view. This means that learners using non-Internet Explorer browsers will be automatically redirected to browser-independent STT training content environments.

* Extended Lesson Progress Reporting
New reporting capabilities allow better tracking of lesson completion and pass rates so that lessons proving difficult to learners can quickly be identified and amended.

* Augmented Project Status Reporting
A new project status report provides project administrators a snapshot view of all unfinished lessons and their progress for additional control over meeting deadlines and quality standards.

"These enhanced features reflect Kaplan's commitment to providing the highest quality software training solutions in the industry," said Brian Sholly, President of Kaplan IT Learning. "We are committed to helping our clients reduce the time and cost to train and support their end-users on technology applications, and we are continually finding ways to help them improve their users' training experience."

STT Trainer is Kaplan IT Learning's Enterprise Application Training software that helps organisations achieve and maintain high user proficiency across business applications.

Hundreds of organisations worldwide use STT Trainer to rapidly generate and deploy training and support content, track training effectiveness and progress, and manage training content and training projects. STT Trainer received the 2006 Gold Medal Award in Learning Technology by Brandon Hall Research, and was voted "Most Innovative" simulation authoring tool by attendees of Brandon Hall and Training Magazine's 2005 Software Simulation Shootout.
