GMS Announces LiveTutor DIRECT - the Shortest Distance to Single-Source Support for All Leading Vendor Courses

Columbia, Maryland - GMS (Global Mentoring Solutions), leading provider of expert answers on demand for IT, desktop, and business skills, announces the availability of LiveTutor DIRECT; the market's first comprehensive, single-source support solution that launches directly from the desktop and covers subject matter from all leading vendor course libraries, such as Thomson NETg, Skillsoft, Karta, and Pearson Education, as well as certification tracks from Microsoft, Novell, Project Management Institute, and CompTIA.

A recent survey confirmed that the learning libraries of many organizations are made up of content from multiple sources, and not limited to the courses of a single vendor. Consequently, these organizations need support that aligns with and enhances their entire learning program and unique business objectives.

"When people are having trouble understanding a concept, or need help developing a new skill on the job, they should be confident the support they get will help them meet company and career objectives - not just the objectives of a specific course," explains Wayne Goldstein, GMS CEO. "With LiveTutor DIRECT, organizations with multi-source libraries get expert support that meets the total needs of their education program and the needs of the individual as he or she works to improve performance."

Because most questions arise when an individual tries to use what they've learned on the job, support is most effective when it reaches beyond course materials and is easily accessible throughout daily workflow. LiveTutor DIRECT provides direct access to live, expert support without the need to be inside a course, or click through multiple platforms. Its new desktop launch feature makes experts easily accessible in whatever individuals are working on, maintaining workflow and reducing costly disruptions.

LiveTutor DIRECT is available through GMS and select market partners. For more information call 877-314-4872 or visit GMS online at www.gmsliveanswers.com
