The Value of User Proficiency & Adoption is Real
Rising Complexity Thwarts Adoption, Creating a Consumption Gap
• Consumption gap leads to:– Slower product
consumption, slower repurchase
– Lower renewal rates with higher discounts
– Reduced satisfaction and loyalty scores

Scenarios – Delivering Success
“…an absolutely phenomenal enabling tool, which cut our training costs by 90% and upped our adoption from the typical 40% for new applications to 95%. 6500 people trained, less than 200 service calls and less than 1/3rd of those were training related.”
“Huge Increase in Performance. No need for a training environment - people learned by show me/try me (simulations).”
Managing an upgrade:
18,000 employees 24 time zones, 7000 stakeholders
5 continents, 14,000 assignment groups
33 integrations and simultaneous deployment.
Created performance support materials available on demand, within the application and in formats that fit the learning styles of users.
“250 Hands-on scenario based exercises and performance support documents were paramount in our go live success since they were readily available and very thorough. End users were able to utilize these (documents) without having a trainer constantly helping them through the steps involved in their processes.”
Failed Go Live: “We did not have cohesive and thorough communication to the users about the changes that were coming. Nor did we have a standard way to train them.”
Modernized training material and shifted the way training was delivered. Instead of sending trainers onsite, trained business process owners who then trained other employees.

“In less than 10 weeks,• Completed more than 10,000
training events and all our physicians were ready to use the new software upon implementation.
• Consultant/ trainer needs were reduced by 33% as uPerform allowed for a rapid deployment of custom content that eliminated the one-on-one training model.
• Moved from our go-live adoption to optimization much quicker than expected which sped up our implementation process and lowered our operating costs.”
Enterprise application rollout with mission critical implications: Primary issue … lack of time in their daily schedule for training. One-on-one training was time consuming and expensive. Development of curriculum was slow and difficult to maintain.
Customized training materials accessed on-demand, either on-site or remotely via mobile devices, by physicians. “We were able to centralize our training and track the progress of each of our 850 physicians.”
