Ulmart (iSpring Suite)

Ulmart — the Russia's first retailer of a format "from the directory", one of the leading players of retail market. Infrastructure of Ulmart contains 29 cybermarkets, over 280 points of issue more than in 190 cities of the country. On an electronic show-window of Ulmart the widest range — more than 75,000 names of goods is provided: from up-to-date ultrabooks, smartphones and home appliances to car tires, engine oils, children's goods and goods for the house.

person_square Gleb Ivchenko, manager on distance programs of Ulmart company "Heard very many different responses about iSpring, itself had an opportunity to learn a product right after the E-Learning Elements 2015 conference.

I have experience of development of rates and applications in such development tools as:

Websoft CourseLab 2.7 + versions Adobe Captivate 5,6,7,8 Articulate Storyline 1.0 и0 Work term in iSpring Suite 7 (I will reduce further iSS7) about 120 hours, during this time noted the following properties of a product. As far as these properties are good, let consumers judge, my personal opinion will be upon completion of the overview.

The first impressions

It would be desirable to note installation speed: iSS7 was established quickly enough, its distinctive feature is in fact the superstructure over Office from Microsoft (PowerPoint) that allows the consumer not to spend time for accustoming to the interface. In my case it was MS Office Professional Plus 2013. I will tell directly, I did not feel discomfort, rather pleasant addition to already available functionality. Existence of a huge number of the built-in templates and characters for rates became the second pleasant impression that, in my opinion, can become advantage over analogs. Compatibility with mobile web browsers: I easily browse content directly from phone, without additional software, but also it is for the Apple iOS and Android OS platforms. Optimization and compatibility with the different LMS systems became logical end of the first impressions. Managed to check for Moodle and WebSoft Webtutor, apparently and it will be correct to work at other LMS since supports packaging in all known to SCORM and NE SCORM packets. Opportunities for the developer

Tools in general similar to similar products to tell that something surprised me, unless only existence of templates subjects and characters, for the rest usual set or is slightly more modest than competitors. This product will be interesting to the companies which want quickly, often and accurately to do rates, web applications and tests since with software to it it is predisposed. Programmable elements of interactivity are for 99.99% the built-in functionality of Office (basic actions). There are, of course, procurements standard (The directory, the Time line, Question-answer, 3D - the book), but there are not enough opportunities. As regards tools, very much there was not enough work with variables: cross-triggers and converting in Free Form, or similar implementation. Since from experience these tools are more and more demanded. In other words, to do rates/tests and applications of TOP LEVEL in iSS7 extremely difficult and long, it is connected with lack of mechanisms of "fast programming", the prepared algorithms of activation of these or those actions. If to consider product iSS7 as pleasant addition to "An arsenal of the developer", then it is convinced: he will take the worthy place since many processes in it can be created quicker, using less efforts. For what I used this product and what scopes of application at it

First, I used given software for own understanding as far as it can be personally useful for me since I daily work on rates and problems of training. It is sure, and target audience of iSS7 — Specialists in the field of training, HR managers, freelancers and just the developers beginning the way in the world of content of web applications. The second purpose was to find defects, bugs, generally different shortcomings of this software since many praise highly software to clients, but hold back different shortcomings. The third purpose was to write the overview for the blog and the portal. The overview the most transparent and fair since it is waited by consumers and subscribers from me. Scopes of iSS7 quite broad, for example, creation of stronger presentations, rates, web applications, tests, games and tasks. Since the interface usual, and compatibility high — a product it is possible to use very widely. The tasks solved using iSS7

The manual, the interactive instruction for elderly generation, the fast and clear instruction to the equipment which raises difficulties and questions at people is more senior than 60 years. Presentation of results of the project with video and interactive content The developing games for children Training courses in the organizations and state. organizations Video lessons, the presentations with voice summaries Tests and exercises for an examination It is not all list of how it is possible and it is necessary to use iSS7, besides the wide educational library and a videoshop is available to clients and users of iSpring already now.

It is software can master everyone from the first day.

Obvious advantages of iSS7 over analogs

Simple, intuitive interface Work speed, product it is optimized even for not the strongest computers Possibly, the cost of the license since at overwhelming number of analogs cost is much higher Let's sum up the results

iSpring Suite is the convenient and easy tool of the developer in accustoming, allows to solve different problems in short terms. I got acquainted only with iSpring Suite 7, I did not happen to test other products of a series for durability yet, but in general I was satisfied.

In the "arsenal of the developer" I precisely want to have such product because already now I know when and in what situations I will use it.

Yes, there are tools stronger and hardly I can solve 100% of the problems by means of only iSpring Suite, but precisely will be suitable for the majority of problems of iSS7 better than many other tools.

Wishes to developers

Give more opportunities for implementation of difficult algorithms "Visual Programming of Objects and Cross-functionality with Variables".

At the moment the best implementation of "Fast programming" at Articulate Storyline 2, it is slightly worse implemented in Adobe Captivate 8, but an opportunity such is".
