  "Products are changing so fast that if you try to rely on your traditional training development cycles to keep up with how rapidly the products are changing, you're always going to have a problem," says OutStart vice president of product strategy Michelle Bruce.

  "Products are changing so fast that if you try to rely on your traditional training development cycles to keep up with how rapidly the products are changing, you're always going to have a problem," says OutStart vice president of product strategy Michelle Bruce.Also, firms want a training provider that can offer a wide range of delivery systems--CD-ROM-, computer-, or Web-based, or a combination thereof--so that they can choose whichever system best suits their needs.Still, some firms are wary of upgrading employees' IT certifications, fearing that their employees will then demand higher salaries.Help Desk 2000 Chair Pete McGarahan argues that this is poor reasoning by the employers because the better certified their employees are, the more productive they will be.Smart2Partner CEO Tim Brown notes that while training is often among the first items cut from the budget in lean times, IT training will remain a necessity as long as technology continues to develop.http://www.itsupportnews.com/june2001/depts/toolbox/toolbox1.htm

  Companies that rely on normal course development cycles may find themselves serving up dated content by the time they finish, says Michelle Bruce, VP of product strategy for Natick, Mass.-based OutStart.
  
  "Products are changing so fast that if you try to rely on your traditional training development cycles to keep up with how rapidly the products are changing, you're always going to have a problem," she says.
  
  OutStart specializes in developing software that allows companies to create content once and deploy it via many different delivery methods.
  
  "The idea is to extract the technology from the content.It's the content that's king.It was just taking a lot of delivery time to change to the multiple technologies," she says.
  
  ...
  Bruce says another way companies may look to save money is by cutting down on the development cycles of their learning curricula.The quicker they can get their offerings to market, the more sales time they have before they have to update the content.
  
  "What we wanted to do was provide a software platform that would allow for the rapid development of materials, the idea being that you can cut down your development costs tremendously if you have the tools to be able to do it," she says."With our tool and with the right processes, we actually cut that time down a bit.Conservatively, I'd say by half."
  
  The road ahead
  
  With IT jobs going unfilled and with technology changes coming fast and furiously, IT training is always going to be in demand, however, customers need to be given a choice of learning type-classroom, e-learning, blended, etc.-because they know if you can't give it to them, there are three or four other vendors who can.

  "This initiative is going to help prove the concept of collaboration and distributed development and delivery of content," says Michelle Bruce, chief learning officer of OutStart.

  "The reusability aspect is where the Navy hopes to save money," said Michelle Bruce, founder and vice president of services at OutStart Inc., which is helping the Navy revamp its e-learning systems.
  ...
  Without the LCMS, Bruce said, content would be stored on individual LMS content servers and would not be accessible to those elsewhere in the Navy for reuse.
