Today marks the beginning of a new era at CustomGuide. We are officially implementing our upgraded development process, and we’re excited about the possibilities these improvements will bring.
Why change something that’s worked well for so long, you might ask? Client demand. While our clients are very happy with our product, they’d also like more titles to choose from. Our attention to detail and interactivity are hallmarks that have made us an industry leader for the past 10 years. But this has come at the expense of our library. We have great stuff, but the titles we offer are not as diverse or numerous as we, or our clients, would like. When people think about CustomGuide online learning, they think, “Microsoft Office,” and “Love it.” Our goal is for people to think, “Amazing selection,” and “Love it.”
Over the past few months, we have been testing, researching, and testing again to find ways to improve our development process and make it more streamlined, without sacrificing the look and feel our clients are used to. Compatibility with mobile devices has also been a big focus; our current process uses Flash, which isn’t supported by all mobile devices. We think we’ve found a solution, melding some of our old tools with new ones that make some use of video and are mobile-compatible.
Now we’re beginning to take all that testing and researching into the real world. We’re tackling our first title in the new format, Project 2010, right now. Look for it this spring. And for anyone looking to say adieu to our old format, get ready to sink your teeth into Mac OS X Lion, to be released in March.

I am looking at creating a buying group for private physician offices and clinics in the healthcare indusrty. I could see how Office training (and other CBT modules) could be considered very useful for the clients I anticipate.
Does your business allow a buying group to resell access to your training modules? The viability of this is very dependant upon your pricing structure and the size of account that is required to receive discounted per person rates.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Doug
