Massey University has officially announced this week the purchase and rollout of a number of Adobe Products.

Inline with Massey Universities 2020 strategy for teaching and learning, Mark Brown Director of Distance Education has announced the expansion of their electronic tool set to include:

• Acrobat Pro
• Adobe Presenter
• Adobe Connect

Acrobat Pro will enable them to enhance their accessibility, usability and quality of some of their online material. Presenter amplifies the teachers voice and provides a more engaging interaction with subject content online, and Connect will connect (pardon the pun) teachers with their students, including regular online tutorials, consultations with small groups, and offshore distance delivery.

webqem looks forward to hearing the creative uses of these tools throughout the University.

Webqem attended the AHRI National Convention in Melbourne on the 10^th and 11^th May. It is the biggest HR and people management event in the Asia Pacific region. We had the opportunity to share new ideas and converse with HR professionals from all over the world.

At the exhibition we demonstrated Adobe Connect and of the shelf training with Adobe eLearning suite. Many delegates from the event were very interested in how they could cut down travel costs with Adobe Connect and create eLearning experiences that engage audiences with interactivity, video, audio, and powerful visuals.  These products have been proven successful, especially in the current economic climate.

webqem would like to thank AHRI for inviting us and allowing us to share our opinions and expertise. We look forward to attending next year.

Adobe has released it’s newest version of ColdFusion, by announcing the release of version 9.  Adobe chose to announce the new release at Adobe MAX, Adobe’s worldwide developer conference, at the start of October.

ColdFusion 9, a powerful development technology for building dynamic Web sites and Internet applications, increases developer productivity, integrates with complex enterprise environments and delivers rich and interactive experiences for users. ColdFusion Builder Beta 2 is the next build of the new Eclipse™ based ColdFusion integrated development environment (IDE) used for rapidly developing ColdFusion applications.

The team at webqem are keen users of the ColdFusion technology (along with all technology) and have the knowledge and expertise to supply and train you in the ColdFusion software. Contact us for more information.

A full press release is available online.

webqem & Adobe teamed up to host a 90 minute seminar on shortening sales cycles and lowering selling costs via Adobe Connect Pro. Larry was the primary speaker at this free seminar and took sales and marketing people through the many ways that Connect Pro can benefit an organisation. Some of these benefits were: dramatically reducing sales and marketing costs, how to qualifying prospects quicker, and speeding up the sales process through frequent meetings.

Like the other seminar held by webqem that week, this one was successful and webqem is likely to be holding more seminars like this one in Hong Kong. Keep eye out on this blog for upcoming seminars.

Good news from the Adobe MAX conference – Adobe is now closer than ever to running Flash on the Apple iPhone. At Adobe MAX, the company’s worldwide developer conference, Adobe announced that the new Flash Professional CS5 software will enable developers the ability to create applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The new functionality opens iPhone development to millions of designers and developers who currently use Adobe’s popular Flash authoring tools. Adobe already has some examples of Flash applications available on the Adobe Labs site.

Flash is an integral part of many webqem projects, so we are very excited to hear this news. However, we are still holding out to witness a Connect Meeting on our iPhones – we hear that Adobe is not far off, so let us wait in anticipation!
