Mark,
Bought 10 Impatica for Powerpoint and 1 for OnCue.
Given out to those that have expressed interest and have the time to
experiment.
OnCue we are holding in CLT and when we are "expert" we will offer to
develop materials for staff. Initially I suspect it will be the people
who are using Impatica.
best,
Arthur

Dear All
Just wondering what general operational systems people are using for
Impatica. Anyone bought loads of licences to hand out? Or do you
encourage
users to buy their own departmentally? Or do they send their ppt files
to
your for you to translate? Or......?
