One of the unique aspects of many WorkExcel.com products is the ability to edit or brand material so it works seamlessly.  Many of our products are offered in several media formats from PowerPoint to Web Courses, from Flash to Self-play CDs. We know that many of you are experts in your fields, with preferences for specific topics, content, and correct nomenclature, etc. Not all companies are the same and work cultures differ, too. So, modifications must be made to training materials, and this feature must be part of the product you purchase. This was an important niche decision for us. We give you this control over most products, either at your end after purchase or prior to purchase, by helping you with customization, adding your logo, taking our name and logo off the product, etc.
