How to Developed a Business for Educational CDs or Multimedia CBTs - A Case Study


BRAINWARE - An ISO 9001:2000 Company based in India.

INTRODUCTION

1991 was the year which revolutionised the concept of IT training in India. Brainware was launched in this year and commenced operations as a quality IT training service provider. As a result, it did not take much time for us to climb up the growth chart with thousands of students flocking at our centres to enrol for courses of their choice. The tradition of growth, quality and success continues even today but given the fast paced dynamics of the market Brainware's functioning as a top-quality training provider also changed. In these years, India has undergone an amazing change with personal computers becoming a norm rather than an exception at homes across urban and semi-urban areas. With hardware prices falling further, it is expected that the next wave of expansion of the hardware business will penetrate deeper into non-urban India.

So, we found that with such a massive PC penetration, IT training is going to be one of the most challenging yet rewarding segment of the industry. We also figured it out that IT training per se would also change its dynamics as more and more people switch on to computers at home. Increasingly people are beginning to prefer learning computer applications sitting at the comfort of their homes at their own pace. And to aid this kind of learning, we sensed a huge opportunity as an interactive learning content provider to meet this demand for home learning. That is why Brainware has developed an impressive array of Training CDs that have helped thousands of satisfied customer rediscover learning at their own pace and time. These Educational CDs have become so popular that Brainware is now considered as a pioneer in developing Multimedia CBTs (Computer Based Tutorials)

The depth of our success in developing these Educational CDs can be judged from the fact not only our Multimedia CBTs have earned a reputation for quality in the domestic market, but these Training CDs are generating global demand as well. Multimedia CBTs from Brainware have become extremely popular in countries like China and South Africa, where these Educational CDs have been well received as user-friendly learning tools.

The global success enjoyed by our Training CDs can largely be attributed to the killer combination of world-class quality and justifiable price range. Add to this the name - Brainware - and what one gets is an assured product that is guaranteed to satisfy.
