As an IDS partner, Stag-Parkway, a leader distributor of RV parts and accessories, was frequently using IDS solutions. However, Mike McKay, Vice President of Marketing at Stag-Parkway, realized that his regional and district managers needed a better understanding of IDS products in order to be more efficient. With the help of Grant Farrer and Patty Permuy, Trainers and Advanced Training Coordinators, McKay arranged for his managers to attend classes in the IDS St. Petersburg, FL location from February 10-12, 2003.

Using wireless laptops, Farrer and Permuy provided hands-on training to complete these goals. They also showed the nine Stag-Parkway participants new IDS products, tips on using Astra and Linx, and provided booklets for them to utilize on the road. The Stag managers came away from the advanced training having learned the basics of IDS solutions and how they will benefit Stag-Parkway customers.
