New to technology? Are
you concerned your organization isn't fully utilizing
the software and hardware investments you've made?
Contrary to popular belief, no one is born an Information Technology Specialist or a
Knowledge Worker, but you can get there with training
assistance from West of East, Incorporated.
If you're planning an
upgrade or system migration, you've probably carefully
considered the costs of acquisition and implementation,
but have you considered the costs of training?
Without proper training, not only will you lose
productivity instead of increasing it, but the affect on
end user morale could doom the project's acceptance
rates. No project is complete without user
training!
Maybe your staff knows
the basics, but are the basics enough to get the job
done? Are you constantly outsourcing details that
could be done effectively in house with a bit of
training? Defining training goals and making
initial measurements are very important in establishing
the ROI from training. You must also establish the cost
of the training and make measurements over a period of
time to verify its value. But of all the
technology investments, training is the single fastest
way to fully realize technology ROI. And with West
of East, it's now one of the easiest ways as well.
We can design a course to
meet your unique goals and expectations, or assist you
in setting up in house, on demand training. We
also offer "Install to Learn" programs, where we work
with your in house IT staff and teach on the job; this
program is available for many projects and enhances any
installation with training and knowledge transfer.
By the end of the project, your IT staff is not only
qualified to provide ongoing first tier support, but to duplicate
the project in the future if needed.
We can create
documentation and procedural steps that make even
complex tasks easy, and illustrate underlying concepts
and principles. "Canned" packages are already
available for Novell ZENWorks, GroupWise Administration
and other popular programs, or we can create a training
program just for your organization.
We strive to make the
learning experience personable, non-threatening,
engaging but most of all fun. Because any training that
does not include the emotions, mind and body is
incomplete; knowledge fades without feeling. Experience
has shown us that retention is strong when the learner
is involved, so we work with your end users to find out
what they want out of a training course, what their
goals are and we try to incorporate these needs into any
design considerations.
Start working smarter, not harder. Invest in your people...and
your organization's future.
