Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a global product services electronic laboratory (E-Lab). For example, the E-Lab may be an on-line virtual laboratory for company employees and/or field engineers for learning how to implement new technology products via actual “hands-on” configurations and troubleshooting. Specifically, the E-Lab of the present embodiment enables an authorized user to utilize a computing device to remotely access the E-Lab via the Internet, a company network or a dial-up connection. Once communicatively coupled to the E-Lab, the user is provided a variety of different topics and categories associated with the products and/or equipment labs currently available within the E-Lab. After selecting one of the topics or categories, the user may be provided more specific information regarding tutorials and/or troubleshooting corresponding to the selected lab equipment. Additionally, the user is able to directly interact with the actual equipment on-line thereby having a “hands-on” learning experience.
