I can’t believe that it’s been another year. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were closing out 2009.
We’ve had another busy year trying to keep up with the demands of our customers, who have come to expect only the highest quality of training software from us. We spent a lot of time this year talking to many of our customers, gathering feedback and opinions of our products, and implementing improvements to our software.
We also have been getting many requests for new training programs, and have been keeping track of all the ideas from our customers, so that we can continue to develop programs that will provide the industry with the training they want, and need.
As we close in on the holidays and get ready to usher in a new year, we have put together another list of 5 Great Things That Happened in 2010 here at Simutech.
Without further ado, I present to you with the top five stories from 2010, in no particular order.
1. Troubleshooting Motor Circuits V4 Named EC&M Product of the Month
This actually appeared in the December 2009 issue of EC&M, but we didn’t get to include it in our top 5 list from 2009, so it’s been added to this year’s list. The year started out with a bang, with Troubleshooting Motor Circuits V4 appearing as the featured Product of the Month in EC&M.
There was a great write up on the program, which included some customer insight into the title. If you have the December 2009 issue of EC&M lying around you can read the article, or you can check it out online.
2. Troubleshooting Skills Series V4 Named EC&M Product of the Year Category Winner
The next big new item came in March, when we found out that our Troubleshooting Skills Series had been chosen as the winner of the Computers and Software Category of the 2010 EC&M Product of the Year Awards.
The category winners were on display at Electric West and voting was done online by EC&M readers to choose the top 3 products for the year.
3. Troubleshooting Skills Series V4 Named EC&M Product of the Year Gold Award Winner
Yes, the EC&M readers liked what they saw from our software, and voted it as the Gold Award Winner in the Product of the Year competition!
Being the 1st runner up in a competition of this magnitude, against all the other high-calibre products out there, really showed us that our programs are making a difference and helping the industry as they were intended to.
More information about this award can be found here, here, and here.
4. New Release of Versions 4.1 and 1.6 of the Troubleshooting Skills Software
Not satisfied with the programs that had already won so many accolades from various people, we spent most of 2010 talking to our customers and getting feedback to improve the software.
We took a step back and looked at the products again with a fresh perspective, and implemented many changes that our customers had been asking for. We released the new versions, 4.1 and 1.6, of the software on October 27th.
More information about the new release can be found here, and here.
5. Launch of the New Troubleshooting Skills Website
In conjunction with the new updated products, we also completely revamped the Troubleshooting Skills website. We started with a totally new design and rebuilt the site from scratch, to help improve the online experience of learning about the programs, and what they can do for our various types of customers.
Here’s the new look site.
So there you have it, the five biggest stories from the Simutech world in 2010, and so many of the great things that have happened have been thanks to our dedicated and loyal customers.
Here’s looking ahead to another great year in 2011, where we can continue to work together to create better troubleshooting training!
