Alex Taylor: What challenges made you search for the software of this kind?
Michael Appleman: BSTTW needed to offer movies that we have taken and pictures we made into movies at conferences and fund raising meetings and events. That is what we used the SWF & FLA player for. The Flash Optimizer helped us to finalize the movies and not only compress them but make sure they were created in the best way possible so the presentation had a better chance of helping our nonprofit organization reach the viewers.
Alex Taylor: How did you get to know about Flash products by Eltima?
Michael Appleman: I personally reviewed all of the available software programs and saw that Eltima Software produced the best products. Eltima offers a wide range of Flash utilities and we use all of them in our daily job.
Alex Taylor: Did you try other products for the same task before choosing Eltima solution? Why did you prefer our product?
Michael Appleman: Yes we did try other products. As I stated above I found that the products from Eltima Software were the best for what BSTTW needed.
Alex Taylor: Please, describe how you are using our product now.
Michael Appleman: We are currently preparing for a presentation about one product in order to help educate the burn survivor community about a new liquid form moisturizer that can help their dry and itchy skin problems. BSTTW is also setting up a presentation to raise the funding needed so we can offer the support that has been requested for the burn victims in India.
Alex Taylor: How did you benefit from using Eltima solution?
