 GroupWise Training
GroupWise training is a very important aspect of using Groupwise. Ensure employees can
send and receive e-mails, set signatures, maintain an electronic
calendar, manage documents, and much more. The problem is that
most users are not proficient at utilizing all the features,
thus leading to a less than optimal use of the software and needing Groupwise training.
The problems for any organization using GroupWise are:
- Insufficient Groupwise training opportunities
- New employees are often thrown into the deep end and
end up only mastering the rudimentary basics of GroupWise without training
- Long serving employees are often intimidated with new
technology and don't want to show their ignorance; leading
to them not using the system
- Upgrades of the system are exceedingly difficult to implement
as the employees are resistant to change.
- Support staff in IT has to reeducate employees on how
to use certain functions.
The Solution
Intoweb Groupwise training has created a web-based, Intranet driven
virtual helpdesk that allows organizations to do GroupWise
training with their employees in the various functions of
GroupWise without having to attend a training seminar or even
leave their designated workstations.
This system is more than a training system. Due to its
easy accessibility via the Intranet, employees will use it
as a help facility as well, giving them training on the fly.
The system is fully interactive, with voice, read-text and
animation. The user actually types in where they need to type,
click where they need to click, and can see each and every
step of the process in screen shots.
It covers all areas of GroupWise that the client requires.
Intoweb custom makes the GroupWizz virtual helpdesk to suit
each individual company's needs. Thus we work closely with
the organization and determine the requirements in order to
supply a solution that is exactly what you want.
The support
Once installed, Intoweb Training ensures that the GroupWizz
virtual helpdesk continues to work by transferring skills,
and giving maintenance to the client when needed. Any and
all bugs latent in the system will be fixed free of charge
for the first month of usage. Thereafter the maintenance will
cost R350 (excl. vat) per hour or part thereof.
There is particular emphasis in skills transference, thus
empowering the organization to maintain the product themselves,
and saving costs.
Who benefits?
There are a number of people that would typically benefit
once this GroupWise training module is implemented.
- The obvious group is the IT division. Typically IT are
in a constant flux of development, improving the IT of any
organization. However, much of their time is used up in
support on software usage. This is a very real problem and
wastes a huge amount of potentially productive time. With
this module a lot of support on GroupWise is eliminated.
Past users of our hybrid system have noted up to 80% reduction
in support calls.
- New staff members are often overwhelmed with all the
new protocols and software they need to learn when starting
a new job. A lot of them never get orientated properly,
leading to low productivity as they need to learn by trial
and error. Others have to go through GroupWise training
courses, of which they forget 60% as soon as they leave
the training class. The GroupWise hybrid allows them to
learn how GroupWise works on the job, saving time and money
as they skill themselves up.
- Some staff members are constantly learning new things,
and they are regularly phoning IT to find out how this,
that or the next thing works. For these people the GroupWise
Hybrid is a godsend. It allows them to skill themselves
up quicker and more effectively than if they have to do
so going through the manual (which they probably won't be
able to find anyway).
- Top management thus has a skilled workforce who can use
the system with confidence and ease.
