Creating Web-Based Training Demos...Alternatives To Flash?

[bdorland]

Hey all,

I thought I'd throw this question out to you all and see if the brilliant minds on this forum can help a brother out...

I'm working with a new client that is looking to create a new set of web-based product/service demonstrations that will provide prospects with an overview of their core products and services. I say "new set" because they are currently using flash-based demos, which are very nice and well done, but are too costly for them to maintain since they don't have an in-house flash developer.

The details of their product/service offerings change often, so they are essentially looking for a solutions (software?) that would allow them to create equivalent-quality demos and then give them the ability to manage/tweak the demo content when needed (probably monthly).

They realize that an outsourced solution (me) could accomplish this, but a lower-cost alternative would be ideal.

I'm trying to help them find a solution in the hopes that my good-faith efforts will provide future marketing/creative service opportunities for me.

Any ideas or software recommendations would be much appreciated.

I should also note that I searched for a while online and found a few options, but none really screamed "I'm your solution!".

Thanks in advance!

Pete, I was just about to post Camtasia myself but you beat me to it I've seen Camtasia in action and it's great. Comes across very professional too, especially if you record a voice-over with it.

Hope this helps.
