"Today's workforce has become increasingly more reliant on mobile devices. In 2011, the number of smartphones and tablets exceeded the number of personal computers sold. It is estimated that by 2014, 1 billion smartphones will be sold -- twice as many as PC's," said Matt Latreille, Vice President, Global Content & Innovation.
"We surveyed our clients and found that 3 out of every 4 drivers use a mobile device on the job. Allowing drivers to access training when they want from where they want will help dramatically reduce collisions and liability exposure by improving accessibility and productivity," said Rob Martin, Vice President, Sales. "Most web-based training program are developed in flash, which can cause a problem for most smartphones and tablets," Martin continued. "We developed our solutions with an eye on the future making it an easy transition from flash to more mobile-friendly HTML5."
