As a manufacturer of 3D Animation Videos, 3D Interactive Simulations and Interactive Learning Platforms, BetaFlix provides comprehensive, personalized instruction to its client base with what they are calling A2Z tools.

The system is driven by A2Z Smart Training technology which controls and improves training materials based on user input. The content has been developed with real life job relevance/relatedness and technical accuracy is confirmed by review of customer experts.
Situation
After a longstanding client relationship, Project Manager Miriam Russell met with BetaFlix’s Chief Operating Officer, Sree Sanakam to discuss business challenges the company was experiencing. After providing a Needs Assessment, it became clear Mr. Sanakam was in need of a trained workforce as well as trained technical writers to complete grant work for more financial support.
Solution
After evaluating BetaFlix’s needs through the Needs Assessment, Russell has been able to transform the company’s operations with multiple strategies to include introducing a Business Strategy focused on identifying key business needs and developing additional sales channels, developing a training program and structure through an e-Learning Grant, and assisting in the grant application for a AFWERX Challenge Grant through the US Air Force.

Results

The e-Learning Grant Russell became aware of through the LCTC System to address learning issues during the COVID-19 Pandemic, resulted in a $30,000 purchase order for remote welding training for the client.
