TRAMS Back Office Daily Q & A

Due to the great success with daily Q & A sessions for ClientBase, TRAMS is now offering daily Q & A Sessions for TRAMS Back Office as well. One of our senior support reps hosts an hour-long WebEx session open to all TRAMS Back Office users. The session is an open forum, giving you the opportunity to ask questions about the product, learn tips from the instructor and your colleagues, or get training in an area that would be helpful to you.

The sessions are offered daily at 10:00AM PST. No pre-registration is needed. Any day you would like to attend, select 'Join' from the WebEx Training Center anytime during the hour. Stay for the whole hour or just drop in, ask your question(s), and go. Take advantage of this great resource available to you.

New WebEx Classes

TRAMS Back Office has been reviewing existing WebEx classes. You should see some changes starting in July. We have added content to some of the existing classes and have added the following new classes. The items below are linked to the registration pages including a little description of the class:

Come check out some of these advanced topics! Reminder, review the TRAMS Back Office WebEx Monthly Schedule for current dates and times.

Have you noticed?

If you have been to the ClientBase Plus CBI Modules or TRAMS Back Office CBI Modules menu options from the Training menu on our Web site recently, you see a nice change. When you visit, there is a graphic of the main screens of our products. As you move your mouse around the screen, notice the menu options and buttons are links to recorded modules about that particular area of the product; an easy way to find the topics and to pick an area of the program to expand your knowledge. If you prefer a listing of all available topics that is also available on the same page. The full listing allows you to download the module, or if you would prefer to run it without still being connected to the Internet.

Check back often since new topics are being added to this section of the Web site every week.

Are You New to TRAMS Products?

Our new users welcome the Getting Started areas of our Web site. Find them under the Training Menu | Menu Screen (on the left). Now you do not need to ask where to begin. TRAMS has created a suggested learning path to supplement our two-day training course. The lists are a combination of recorded WebEx (CBI Modules), live WebEx Classes and documentation designed to reinforce what is learned in class and expand on that information. The lists are also good for any user who wants to learn more about an area of the program with which they are not familiar.

New Employees

Kim Matsumoto has been a contract employee working as a Tester in our Testing Department since April 16, 2003. We also welcome Anna Mgerian to our Development Department. Anna started May 1, 2003.



Have a safe 4th of July!
