hosted technology infrastructure and for the professional services
needed to implement the system, as well as extensive knowledge of the
eLearning methodologies and delivery mechanisms required to create a
comprehensive, effective learning solution.
Effectively Responding to Customer Needs
"Synopsys worked with Vitalect to develop an online learning
solution that would provide our customers with an effective option to
our popular instructor-led workshops," said Doug Thomas, director of
customer education services at Synopsys. "Online workshops are
uniquely suited to helping our customers deal with the pressures they
are facing to deliver quality designs with fewer resources. These

need without requiring the additional investment in time and travel
required for more traditional training."

organizations with sophisticated learning requirements, such as EDA.
We are pleased to be working with Synopsys as they implement eLearning
systems that enable its customers to achieve a greater return on
