That's the sentence (less than 10 words) from a company that develops software for running shoes etc. I admit that I'm having my difficulties today thinking up a snappy something to express the same idea - it's probably the sunny weather and the fact that I am actually on vacation and have to finish this one up before I can enjoy the sun. Thanx! ;-)

Bring your whole team up to speed
Now I know this is almost the same as a previous answer, for which I apologise in advance. Actually I just wanted to make the point that the original is a little stupid - it doesn't matter whether the team are at the same level of knowledge, what matters is that they are all a high level of knowledge. I would therefore also leave 'the same' from the answer and concentrate on the fact that they're obviously keen on making the point that the whole team reaps the educational benefit of this marvellous software.
