After owning an IT Business for nearly 20 years, there is one thing I can say without question about that time. There was never a good option for my customers when it came to training. We would do a fabulous job on their upgrade, get the company onto the latest and greatest technology platforms, and then we had to leave them to their own devices when it came time to train their users on how to use and adopt the new technology. Over the years I ran into a handful of one-person shops that offered training, but it was very difficult to price out for customers, difficult to schedule for end-users, and very rarely delivered the necessary content. We used to refer to this as The Black-Hole of Training.
The need has always been there, the solution has not. However, I’m happy to report this has changed. You can now use a subscription service with a per user price. Trainings can be scheduled when your users are available, and the range of topics is diverse enough that your entire staff from end-users to admin can learn as much or as little about new software packages and technology as they want. What if I told you you can assign a track of courses on a select topic to individual employees and be able to see their progress through the courses as well as if they paid attention? If all of this is true, suddenly it looks like that black-hole of training is getting smaller and smaller.
Starting to sound a little to good to be true? Thinking the topic tracks and content are probably not that great? Here’s an abbreviated list of some of the content available: Outlook 2016, Excel 2016, Skype for Business, Windows 10, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Yammer, Security. This is just a tiny sliver of the content available to you. You can address End-User, Train-the-Trainer, and Technical Admin Training all in one place.
