Implementing the newest solutions is exciting for a business, but to truly maximize the return on the investment in the technology, the company's IT organization and user population must be educated on the solutions before they go live. This can be quite an undertaking, but SAP has developed a series of SAP Accelerated Learning packages to help expedite the learning process. This article discusses the packages for SAP HANA, mobility, and business intelligence, and reviews the different ways the offerings can be delivered for faster and more convenient learning.
Picture this: Your CIO comes into your office and tells you that the executive team has finally approved IT’s request to purchase and implement a list of SAP BusinessObjects solutions. He excitedly talks about the benefits of improved business intelligence, saying you need to implement these solutions ASAP and prove to the executives that the request was worth their attention.
This is excellent news for the company, but in the back of your mind you’re thinking, “Great, now I just have to introduce the entire IT organization and user population to SAP BusinessObjects solutions and educate them about what these solutions can do before this implementation goes live.”
The key to maximizing the return on an investment in powerful tools like SAP BusinessObjects solutions, SAP HANA, or Sybase Unwired Platform is SAP Education. And successfully educating your organization on the latest technologies comes down to three things: It has to be simple, fast, and of the highest quality.
While the CIO and other IT executives may be well-versed in the solutions by the time the purchase gets approved, the rest of the IT organization may need an introductory education on a specific solution’s architecture and how to best implement it. Getting that broader IT population up to speed as quickly as possible could be the difference between early wins and a stalled adoption.
To help customers expedite the education process, SAP has developed a series of SAP Accelerated Learning packages that provide an introductory level of training on a host of solutions. These packages are delivered to your company in the format that best suits your organization’s specific needs. Let’s look at some of the latest offerings and delivery models.
