Satellite-Based Training How-To

When pest-control firm Orkin needed to find a solution to better keep its 8,000-employee workforce well trained, it turned to a satellite-based interactive training network. As a result, the company was able to greatly reduce its budget for training delivery, avoid travel expenses, and slash time to competency by 40 percent.

When pest-control firm Orkin needed to find a solution to better keep its 8,000-employee workforce well trained, it turned to a satellite-based interactive training network designed, installed, and managed by Keystone Enterprise Services. The company was able to greatly reduce its budget for training delivery, avoid travel expenses, and slash time to competency by 40 percent, so it now trains about 3,000 employees annually without lost travel time, says Dan Loveless, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Keystone Enterprise Services.

Rural school districts often share a particular challenge – to provide students a wider variety of subjects with minimal staff resources.

Howe Public Schools in rural southeast Oklahoma took on this challenge – virtually – by installing a Tandberg Educator videoconferencing system.

"We don't want a camera in our kitchen." These words came from the parents of the president of a major videoconferencing company. Since they live in different cities, the president had offered to install one of his company's videoconferencing systems in his parents' kitchen or living room so they could see their grandchildren instead of only talking to them on the phone. The executive saw this as a great way for the grandkids to keep in touch, but his parents did not feel comfortable with the idea.
