“We have implemented Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro to better engage sales and distribution channels outside the corporate network,” said Douglas Dell, global director, Learning Services, Philips Healthcare. “Because Acrobat Connect Pro content is delivered via the ubiquitous Adobe Flash® Player, our eLearning programs are easily available to authorized users on most any digital device. Equally important, the content and meetings can be delivered securely and reliably inside medical organizations’ firewalls.”

“Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro enables instructors to create high-impact training sessions that increase engagement and knowledge retention,” said Eric Hoffman, managing partner, EJH & Associates and technical lead at FoodSHIELD, a central portal where people in all 50 states work collectively to safeguard the national food supply through secure, integrated resources. “Intuitive class management capabilities and seamless video, audio, and multimedia integration rival the traditional classroom experience, while keeping the focus on the content, not the technology.”
