Case Study: Nodelcorp Consulting Inc. expands access to climate‑change training and slashes travel costs by 90% with Citrix GoToTraining

Nodelcorp expands access to climate change impact program with GoToTraining

Nodelcorp Consulting Inc., a family‑owned Alberta firm that advises governments and industry on climate change adaptation, developed the Climate Resilient Systems Training to help engineers assess infrastructure vulnerability. After three years of in‑person workshops they’d reached only about 1,000 of Canada’s ~260,000 engineers; travel costs, time commitments and limited municipal IT/budgets were preventing them from achieving the critical mass needed to change industry practice.

Nodelcorp moved the program online using GoToTraining and other Citrix tools (GoToMeeting, Podio, ShareFile, OpenVoice) for low‑bandwidth delivery, integrated billing, polling/testing and secure file sharing—features that supported Mac users and rapid feature updates. The shift cut travel by about 90%, lowered attendee costs (estimated savings up to $1,500 per one‑day event), enabled modular multi‑week delivery, expanded reach into remote municipalities, and created new revenue opportunities like certification and online coaching while improving the principals’ work–life balance.
