No user left behind!

Stumble it!

The US government came out with a act called no child left behind act in 2001. The act aims to empower students who are getting left behind compared to the more successful peers.

Good move in our books.

But a classroom is not the only place where people get left behind. We know it happens every where from a startup to a fortune 500 company. We know it happens to your customers when they visit your website, use your software and products.

So we started the “no user left behind”philosophy, now we are offering interactive video manuals as a service along with our usability analysis and optimization service. Using our video presentation techniques, you can now help your users feel confident while using our easy to follow video manual.

Here are some scenarios where you might be using this:

1. Simplify Internet/Intranet Apparitions for users: We can make interactive video manuals for your websites, forms and intranet applications so that your users can simply view the video and learn how they are supposed to use a application. No more technical assistance required, just point them to video and watch them become pros.

2. Software user interface video manuals: Use this service to simplify user interface and provide simple “how to” videos on demand for your users. Something that is always available, whenever they wish to view it.

3. Product videos/demos/Walk throughs: Use our service to provide your users with video walk throughs, feature tours of your software or create a self help video library letting them help themselves.

We believe something like this cut your support costs hugely and make any user more productive. if you have any questions do email us at info [a t].appliedeye.com
