online help and performance support—

a majority of today's employees rely on the computer, internet and intranet to provide them with the latest business information and to assist them in the performance of their jobs. and, they expect that information and assistance to be correct and immediately accessible.

online help and performance support systems are a blend of high–tech software and human performance elements that enhance job performance.  computerized systems and software tools enable support alternatives not possible just a few years ago. 

cpt t&d has the experience and expertise to design and develop online help and performance support for business procedures, software systems, and process management.  properly designed, the support tool can deliver not only immediate task support, but a truly individualized learning experience guided by the user.
