Are you a professional and spend too much time helping your
clients mastering software issues? Do you make the most of

We think you should try Plan-B! Plan-B is powerful technology, that
transforms computer jargon into visual help. After all, 70% of users
prefer to learn visually. Let us help you answering frequently asked
questions through the use of images and plain English.
Modern software is rich in graphical user interfaces (GUI) and functionality. However, the medium for help has remained written documentation, wether on paper or online. Do you know users' most common complains about online help?
- I can't find what I'm looking for.
- If I find anything, I do not understand the instructions.
- I have given up using the help menu.
This sentiment extends beyond online help to web based knowledge base systems, frequently asked questions lists (FAQ) and software tips in newsletters.
We can do better! The key to teaching modern software is screencasting. Remember, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Conficio has developed Plan-B, a technology to produce animated screencasts from screen recordings. Plan-B is web enabled, visual help, that makes computer jargon more understandable.
Contact us with your problems and we show you how to make your operations more efficient and give you that competitive advantage in the market place.
