BrainHoney Server and Microsoft® Learning Content

Maximizing an investment in information technology is critical to any business success. One of the best options to insure a strong return in technology investment is through solid training. Whether software developers, IT professionals or office workers, training can take users to the next level of performance. For any organization that deploys Microsoft products and technology, training can have a significant impact. When evaluating learning options for your employees to gain the most from Microsoft software there are two important considerations:

  • Choosing the right training content, and
  • Selecting the right training delivery platform.

The Right Training Content

When you need training for Microsoft technology solutions, your best choice is the source of the technology: Microsoft Learning. Microsoft Learning has assembled a vast suite of learning content that covers their main products and technologies to enable your organization to insure successful deployment. Microsoft developer, desktop, mobile and server solutions are covered. Many of the courses will prepare your employees to meet various Microsoft technology certifications. Microsoft Learning courses will not only help your organization maximize the use of Microsoft products, but help grow their skills, enabling them to meet their personal goals.

The Right Training Delivery Platform

When considering electronic delivery options for your Microsoft Learning content, it is important to consider a number of key points:

  • Maximum flexibility when interacting with the learning content
  • Serving the needs of learners worldwide
  • Fully integrated server with pre-loaded content for Intranet applications
  • Affordability

Agilix BrainHoney Server

Agilix BrainHoney is the ideal delivery platform for Microsoft Learning solutions when internal hosting is desirable. BrainHoney offers your organization unique benefits of great flexibility, worldwide support, rapid deployment and affordability. In addition, BrainHoney is built around Microsoft technologies, such as Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server. And Agilix, the developer of BrainHoney, is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.

Flexibility

BrainHoney Server is a complete plug-and-play experience.

Like Microsoft Outlook, BrainHoney is available for users in two clients:
  1. BrainHoney is a rich internet application that allows participants to view Microsoft Learning courses using Internet Explorer over your internal network.
  2. Offline support is provided through the GoCourse Player, a Windows application. All course content is downloaded to a local database, so it can be viewed offline. When the user is reconnected to your network,the GoCourse Player synchronizes all changes with the server.
