Let's consider a case study. Baysoft Training Inc. is an emerging start-up company focused on redefining how software will help get more people trained in various fields in the IT industry. The company achieves this goal by providing a suite of products, including online courses, and on-site and off-site training. As such, one of their flagship products--TrainBot, a web-based application--is focused solely on registering individuals for courses of interest that will aid them in attaining career goals. Once registered, the client can then go on to take a series of interactive online courses.
