"It’s one of those things you don’t realize what you’re missing until you have it, and once you have it, you don’t know how you got by without it. I couldn’t imagine going back to the old way of training that we used to do."

Justin Steele

"We implemented SolidProfessor because it was apparent that employee productivity and concept retention would increase with an on-demand training resource."
