Computer Future,
Inc. (based in Greenwood, Indiana) was founded in 1988 to provide computer hardware, and software
solutions for businesses, and individuals. Computer Future, Inc has
since expanded, to become a leader in Internet development, web
hosting, web design, ecommerce, and online training.
Mindleaders was founded in 1981 to provide
effective, convenient and easy-to-use self-paced training taught
through a personal computer. Today, Mindleaders
is a leader in Web-based training providing enterprise-quality courses
to businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations and home
office users worldwide.
Since 1996, Mind leaders has been
pioneering the development of courses for presentation over the Web.
The training needs of over 700 large organization customers have been
addressed with our Web-based learning solutions, and are accessible to
businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations and home
office users worldwide. Mindleaders
is also a trailblazer partnering with more than 1,300 Internet service
provider partners who provide our courses to over 7.4 million
subscribers, including over 900,000 businesses.
Because our interactive Web-based training allows users to take
courses anytime, anywhere - students learn using courses that provide
the information they need, just when they need it. Additionally, the
company provides excellent value in self-paced, Web-based training
because its subscription program offers over 800 of the most demanded
courses - in interactive courses presented in real-time - for an
affordable annual fee. New courses are produced very quickly, with
30-45 courses introduced every 90-days, while maintaining high quality
course design and content.
The Courses
Our Web-based training library is comprised of desktop, technical,
professional and practical skills courses. We currently offer over 1,900
topics. Our courses are designed specifically for efficient presentation
through internal business networks and the Internet. The company has
been pioneering the development of interactive, self-paced training
for fast presentation over the Web since 1996. Businesses and home
office users ranging in size from start-ups to multi-national
corporations, including over
1,000
large organizations, rely on our
courses for their just-in-time training and reference needs.
Market Overview
For years large enterprise businesses have had the capital and
infrastructure to provide their employees with computer, professional
development, and practical skills training through instructor-led
courses and computer-based courses. This has enabled them to increase
their employees' knowledge - making it possible to quickly integrate
new hardware and software into their operations, enabling them to
increase worker productivity and corporate profits.
Enterprise businesses have been able to offer these types of
courses because they can defray the costs over many
"learners" - making training cost-effective. However, the
costs have been too expensive for many businesses, organizations and
home office users to effectively afford enterprise-quality, self-paced
courses presented over internal computer networks or the Internet
(commonly referred to as Web-based training or e-Learning). The lack
of affordable Web-based learning has forced many businesses,
organizations and home office users to seek lower-quality courses, or
to do without training altogether - exacerbating the deficit of
computer-literate individuals.
The Internet is leveling the playing field as the most
cost-effective training delivery method with access to the highest
number of potential students. International Data Corporation estimates
that the U.S. corporate market for training and education presented
over the Internet will increase from $550 million in 1998 to
approximately $11.4 billion by 2003, an 83% compound annual growth
rate. IDC divides education and training presented over the Internet
into information technology and non-information technology courses.
According to IDC, demand for Web-based information technology training
will reach approximately $5 billion by 2003, while non-information
technology training will reach approximately $6 billion by the same
year.
Computer Future, Inc. and MindLeaders are leveraging the Internet,
a subscription-based pricing model and channel partnerships to make
enterprise-quality Web-based training an affordable and effective
solution for businesses, government agencies, non-profit organizations
and home office users worldwide. We offer over 500 courses
specifically developed in native HTML for efficient real-time
presentation making them accessible through the Internet and corporate
internal networks using either the Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator browsers. Our subscription-based pricing provides
access to an entire group of courses at a low cost eliminating the
need to guess which courses a person might need. To make course access
easy and convenient, we have established partnerships with over 1,300
Internet service providers and 125 other marketing partners.
Businesses, government agencies and non-profit organizations with
multiple locations benefit by using our courses to provide consistent
content regardless of where employees are based. Home office users
benefit by learning conveniently at home, at their own pace, through
typical dial-up Internet modem connection speeds - eliminating the
hassles and costs of instructor-led classes.
TrainingCenter.com is the training solution alternative
for today's fast-paced business climate. Our courses provide the
flexibility, convenience, cost-effectiveness and interactivity needed
to meet the training needs of businesses, government agencies,
non-profit organizations and home office users worldwide.
