Small-business owners benefit from online training on the popular MYOB accounting software thanks to the power of SumTotal's ToolBook

(30 April 2005) Time-poor small-business owners struggling to make full use of MYOB accounting software because they can’t afford the time away from their businesses to attend structured classes can now be expertly trained on the package anytime, anywhere through an interactive online training package. Australia's Intuitive Training Solutions, specialist training providers run by practicing chartered accountants, has developed learning software simulations for delivery to MYOB customers using leading desktop authoring software, ToolBook, from SumTotal. As a certified MYOB consultant, Intuitive Training Solutions is committed to providing innovative and practical solutions to streamline financial and accounting processes for small-business owners who purchase MYOB software.

The company’s training packages are designed and developed by practicing chartered accountants and bookkeepers who head up a successful Melbourne practice. Sharron Kyroussis, Director of Intuitive Training Solutions, said: “We looked at a couple of authoring packages to develop the training package and SumTotal’s ToolBook Instructor package was by far the easiest to use and the most widely available. It was an easy decision.”

ToolBook Instructor provides a comprehensive authoring solution to create software application simulations. ToolBook’s smart software application simulation recorder and easy-to-use simulation editor help customers quickly develop effective, interactive simulations that automatically assess and record user performance through SCORM and AICC standards. Users can author once and then deploy simulations in any combination of demonstration, practice or assessment modes. “We are not software developers but accountants, and we easily picked up the skills to develop the software using ToolBook. It enabled us to quickly develop effective software application simulations, and rich, interactive content,” she added.
