Some of the organizational conditions which might prompt an individual or manager to E-mail or call us include the following:

• Either an individual or group is interested in learning how to use new computer software applications.
• You realize your organization needs to establish a presence on the Internet, but you are not certain how that fits into your strategic plan or what steps are involved.
• Competitors seem to be offering better levels of service to customers, perhaps using technology you do not fully understand (call centers, interactive voice response, messaging, etc.).
• The trends in your industry are changing so rapidly it is difficult to keep up the knowledge base of your employees while carrying out your daily routine.
