"We have just finished using StarCast to train several hundred
geographically dispersed engineers in our Copy Exact Agreement with Applied Materials, and we
are now utilizing the RocketMail feature to accomplish the same with dozens of our key
suppliers. In both instances, the ability to maintain test scores and to produce reports was
an important StarCast feature."

"Dionex was looking for a system that would allow us to send information
or do training around the world to our global offices and to our employees in the field. After
looking at a variety of systems, we chose StarCast. We all think it's great because it's
accessible system requirements aren’t burdensome – you don't need lots of bandwidth like with
streaming video. Employees love it and have been giving us very positive feedback on how easy
it is to use. They can stop and start easily to fit into their time constraints. And they
really like feeling included in what the corporate offices are doing.
We are using it now for basic orientation information for field employees, disseminating our
revised Code of Business Ethics, telephone skills, harassment and discrimination and
blood-borne pathogen training. It's great because we attach copies of the policies and
acknowledgement forms as well as build tests to make sure the key points are understood.
We plan to roll out some hard skills training on it in the coming months and will even have
multiple language versions available for our world-wide locations."
