Payne Releases Video Training Product
Seattle, USA – December 2008: PayneGroup has teamed with an Emmy-award winning producer and director to create videos training on their products, and on Office 2007. The videos include a person/trainer visible at all times which adds the personal touch throughout the program. The center screen shows the computer and what is being discussed. Navigation allows you to skip to other chapters, pause and resume. Best of all, you can store these videos on your firm Intranet and they are accessible at any time and for any duration by your staff.
Payne made these videos for three primary reasons. The first is that as the economy slows, they wanted to come up with a solution that would be more cost effective than expensive and time consuming traditional training. Second, the technology exists to provide good video training and not just show computer capture screen videos, plus the videos are available on-demand is what many have been asking for. Finally, since many firms have trainers travel to other locations or offices to provide training, Payne thought this would do a small part of being more environmentally friendly.

Seattle, USA – December 2008: Several members of the PayneGroup Metadata Assistant technical support team have completed the E-Discovery Certification Course from Kroll.

We are very pleased with the Kroll OnTrack certification course and look forward to sending the rest of the team."
