Services

Our top-flight service industry customers excel when their employees are well-trained.  

Training employees at hundreds of locations cost-effectively can become costly - even if it is strategic. 

Whether it is in automotive repair and services, pest control or other service-intensive industries, enterprises with large numbers of far-flung sites can reap huge benefits from satellite-based interactive training networks.




Just one example.   Leading pest-control firm Orkin turned to Keystone Enterprise Services when it needed a better way to keep its 8,000-employee workforce scattered across 400 locations well-trained.  
The 105-year-old pest-control company has saved money and time with its award-winning training program, which is designed to help it better serve the firm's 1.7 million-plus customers in North America.

Instead of spending $1.2 million per year in travel and lodging costs to bring workers into regional training venues, it implemented a satellite-based interactive training network.

Benefits to the company from its network include:
    * Slashing 30% of its training budget in the first 3 years, with a projected 16% saving in later years
    * Saved travel expenses
    * Reduced time to train new employees from 6-to-8 weeks to 1 week
    * 3,000 employees are now trained annually without lost travel time

The solution is a turnkey satellite network designed and implemented by Keystone Enterprise Services. 
The Business TV IPTV solution includes:
  • Satellite uplink and capacity
  • Delivery of live-video, and file-based content to 300-plus locations nationwide
  • Interactive student response functionality
  • Classroom-On-Demand: downloaded and stored video courses sent by satellite as digital files enable Orkin technicians to receive interactive training at their convenience.
  • Encryption to protect corporate data
  • Remote site equipment and installation
  • Network maintenance
During live distance-training courses via satellite, trainees in remote offices can send in questions to the instructor for immediate feedback. Broadcasts are also locally recorded on Tivo-like devices letting employees replay and review lessons and coursework after the class.
