STEAM, AIR, AND HOT WATER EDITION

Activate Trap Active Customers

2021 is here and now is the time to activate your Trap Active customers. Your customers likely fall into one of two categories as it relates to their trap maintenance program. They have either completed their seasonal survey and are now in need to select, purchase and install traps or, they need to perform a survey. Becoming Trap Active offers so many benefits to your customers including greater reliability and efficiency, lower energy use and emissions, as well as reduced downtime and enhanced safety. Resolve to take action in the early days of this new year by contacting your customers and become their “go-to resource” for their trap active journey.

Armstrong University Courses Keep Pace With Technology

Technology continues to evolve and software applications that were once considered novel such as Adobe Flash have become extinct. Flash was used extensively in the late 1990s and early 2000s to produce animations and support rich media content such as videos and games. Armstrong University courses utilized Flash which Adobe no longer supports. Fortunately, Armstrong saw this coming and during 2020, more than 200 Armstrong University courses were converted to HTML 5.

If your computer still uses a Flash Player, Adobe strongly recommends all users to immediately uninstall it to help protect their systems. Armstrong University users shouldn’t notice any difference in the courses. They’re uploaded in the same location with the same name. Reporting won’t change either. Monthly, weekly, and daily reports will still be sent on time. If you have technical issues with a course, please contact Amber Edson.
