The Professional Services Learning Institute

When companies invest in an enterprise software solution, the selection of the right product is just one driver of project success. Ensuring that the project team, system administrators, report writers, and end-users are able to effectively utilize and adopt the system is just as important as the technology itself. Our Professional Services Learning Institute team can provide the necessary foundation for success by informing smart system design during the implementation and by driving rapid user adoption once the system goes live.

Recognizing the importance of training to support our clients’ success, ELM Solutions has a dedicated in-house training organization, the Professional Services Learning Institute, that offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to training throughout each customer’s implementation, as well as ongoing training offerings for clients in production. Potential training services include:

  • Project kickoff training services meant to educate new clients on their solution as part of the requirements-gathering process
  • Subject matter expert training support throughout an implementation and ongoing after deployment
  • User functional training as well as process and role-based training, offering the right level of training, at the right time, to the right audience
  • Learning options tailored specific to Client design - not a one-size-fits-all program or offering
  • A variety of training delivery options that include virtual live-hosted training, client site training, and virtual self-paced training
  • Training reinforcement programs for Clients in production to aid in user adoption of the solution

Because Passport® and TyMetrix® 360° are powerful technology solutions that support the unique and complex needs of the largest companies in the world, each client’s implementation and configuration is different. Our training services include the ability to consult with clients to fully assess their training needs and build an appropriate training program and curriculum for their users and technical staff. This results in the development of a training plan that is designed to identify the roles, actions, and functions to be trained and a curriculum plan designed to achieve our clients’ goals for their system and operations.

The Learning Institute can also customize training content and curriculum, including course materials, eLearning solutions, and how-to animations to reflect a client’s specific Passport or TyMetrix 360° configuration. This can include ongoing support to maintain all custom training materials and programs and keep them up-to-date with the configuration changes that a client makes to its solution over time.

The Learning Institute offers the following training consulting and custom training services:

  • Training project management
  • Training plan development
  • Client-specific course development and delivery
  • Client-specific eLearning solution development
  • Deployment planning
  • Learning assessments and learning remediation services
