MaraStar's ToonUps are now available globally for international use. Due to advances in technology and recent changes in international copyright law, MaraStar Communication's ToonUp applications are now available world wide, so there's no stopping where ToonUps can travel.

Wayne, PA (PRWEB) November 28, 2006 -- MaraStar Communications, the creators of ToonUps, 30-60 second customizable animations, designed to deliver company messages and training with an element of fun, recently introduced a web portal for international customers. With this new technology, customers around the world can access ToonUps form any computer with internet access, 24 hours a day, 7 days of the week.

MaraStar Communication leaders are thrilled about the opportunity to offer ToonUps to international customers. "Previously, due to international copyright laws and challenges of protecting content, we were not able to license our product outside the US and Canada," explained Ray Hansell, MaraStar CEO "The new web portal and stronger copyright laws have since rectified this situation."

An International MaraStar customer based in India, regularly posts ToonUp animations to their company intranet, allowing call center employees from their 5,000 seat call center to receive an array of ToonUp animations, designed to communicate training tips and reinforce key workplace reminders. Their Quality and Training Manager enjoys the flexibility of choosing from a wide variety of call center topics for his work environment and finds the ToonUp animations a great way to communicate to many employees at once, in a way that is well received and feels "Toonups help bridge the gap between our employees and our global clientele."

Customers outside the US and Canada, can now simply download the ToonUp Animations directly from the MaraStar web portal site for use in PowerPoint Presentations, emails, intranets and learning management systems. Customers will also have the option to send links to the animations directly to employees through email.

The ToonUp product operates the same through the web portal as for any other customer with all the same bells and whistles. Although the ToonUps animations are only available in English, there is space below each animation for additional copy. The ToonFrame animations consist of speech and thought bubbles only, with no character voices; making it easy to customize with another language.

MaraStar offers a detailed Frequently Asked Questions page, online tutorials for set up and use, and additional online support to answer portal questions asked outside of normal business hours specifically for international customers. Additional support can be reached by simply emailing technical support.
