(I-SoftwareNews.Com, April 09, 2013 ) Denver, CO -- LeaderQUEST, an IT career training provider headquartered in Denver, announced it would provide all
CompTIA courseware for A+, Network+ and Security+, through publisher, AXZO Press, in digital format
moving forward. Supported by data regarding trends in e-reading, the company has cited several
reasons for the decision, highlighting benefits to clients, cost savings, as well as green initiatives.
The ownership of e-book reading devices in U.S. has risen to more than 30% and more than one fifth of
American adults reported reading at e-books within the last year according to Pew Research’s Internet
and American Life Project report on e-reading, released in December of 2012. In a similar report from
2011, Pew’s Reading Habits Survey indicated that an overwhelming 83% preferred e-books over print
when it came to speedy access and portability.
“The digital format offers a number of direct benefits to our clients”, explains Bruce Stassen, Vice
President of Operations and Controller at LeaderQUEST. “Textbooks on technology are dense with
information so having the ability to search course books by topic or key words is critical to quickly
finding or referencing key pieces of information. The online access allows the information to be flexible,
completely mobile and even connects users with live mentors.”
Stassen expects to see operational improvements as well. Moving to e-books is expected to improve
the course enrollment process, enabling clients to register for courses up until the start date.
Currently, enrollments often face restrictions due to back-ordered courseware or delayed shipments.
“Provisioning clients with e-books renders an immediate cost savings of more than 50%”, explains
Stassen. “The operational efficiencies are expected to increase that number, allowing budget to be
reallocated towards expanding the career training and professional development programs.”
Like many others, LeaderQUEST is supportive of the environmental benefits e-books carries with
it. According to studies by the Green Press Initiative, paper is the 4th largest industrial source of
greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and an estimated 30 million trees are used each year
to make books sold. “Technology changes so quickly that it just doesn’t make sense to waste trees on
printed material that will become irrelevant in a couple of years anyway” says Stassen.
