    • deskMate at a glance

    The ideal solution for small and medium-sized training companies and training organizations. Thanks to extremely simple user and image handling as well as access via a secure web link without login, trainers and participants benefit equally. Fast onboarding, no contractual obligations and a fair pay-per-use model make getting started particularly flexible and cost-effective.

    ReadyTech at a glance

    A powerful solution for training providers in the enterprise environment with long-term, plannable training needs and complex requirements. ReadyTech offers extensive functions, but is noticeably more complex and cumbersome to manage and handle. The variable pricing and billing model (pay-as-you-go or subscription) also offers flexibility, but is less transparent and must be agreed individually.
