Company: Press Release
New OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0 Reduces Time and Cost of Global Rollouts with Innovative Technology
Collaborative Development Environment combined with Powerful Translation Capability Accelerates Enterprise Software Implementations and Increases End User Adoption
King of Prussia, Pennsylvania - April 23, 2007 - OnDemand Software, a division of Global Knowledge, announces the release of OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0 at the 2007 ASUG Annual Conference, the annual event for the world's largest, customer-driven community of SAP professionals and partners. OnDemand Software will debut the new product in their Booth #1629 at the conference which is being held April 23rd - 25th in Atlanta, GA.
OnDemand Personal Navigator is a synchronized content development platform for business process documentation, test scripts, tailored role-based training and performance support. From a single authoring session, OnDemand Personal Navigator produces distinct outputs, including self-running and interactive simulations, assessments, in-application performance support, documentation, and training materials. The product is also one of the modules of OnDemand Professional - the solution for ensuring change management, achieving organizational readiness, and maximizing ROI.
With OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0, customers can reduce content development time with a collaborative, multi-user development environment. New translation and upgrade capabilities will significantly reduce the time and effort of creating or updating content in multiple languages. The enhanced content management library enables customers to produce content that mirrors true business processes regardless of application.
"We estimate that OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0 will enable our customers to dramatically reduce their content development and translation efforts by up to 60%," said Amy Sellers, Product Manager, Business Objects. "We are excited that our clients will be able to develop content in a multi-user environment as well as experience an accelerated implementation due to the product's powerful translation capabilities. And, the new content library will make it easier for them to manage and deploy all of their Business Objects Knowledge Accelerator content (which is powered by OnDemand Personal Navigator technology)."
OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0 highlights:
Reduce content development time and ensure content standards with collaborative, multi-user development environment: New environment provides insight into content workflow and document management - including check in/check out, versioning and current status.
Accelerate multi-language implementations and ensure end user adoption with powerful translation capability: Custom text can be exported for translation and then imported back to simultaneously propagate multiple outputs compressing time to deployment. A guided re-record process enables developers to create content in multiple languages eliminating the time and cost associated with local language experts.
Enhance content management by re-using content with new library: Single storage location enables re-use across multiple applications producing content that mirrors business processes regardless of application boundaries.
Enable user adoption through support for Firefox browser: Support for Mac, Linux, and Windows allows for expansion of user community and ensures adoption of business processes.
"OnDemand Software continues to address the changing requirements of our global customers while keeping their initial investment in mind," said Kevin C. Riley, President of OnDemand Software. "These expanded capabilities will dramatically change the way that our customers approach global project implementations. OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0 significantly reduces the time and cost associated with multi-lingual global rollouts."
Joseph W. Cece, CEO and President of Global Knowledge commented, "Nearly three years ago we initiated a major commitment of time, resources and funding to maintain our leadership position in the space. We believe the features, functionality, user-friendliness, and financial ROI of OnDemand Personal Navigator 9.0 are unsurpassed in the marketplace. I am extremely proud of the work of the OnDemand team in the development and launch of this next generation software product."
The product will be demonstrated at ASUG and will ship in the coming months in more than 12 languages.
