Consulting
Why Choose Us?
“This new application will make your business more profitable, create efficiencies in jobs, and make your life easier.” We have all heard this pitch at some point but often new technologies and applications seem to cause more trouble and work. One of our core businesses is providing training for companies who are upgrading or changing software. As our trainers interact with their classes, they rarely see people welcoming new applications and technology. If you have ever experienced a change in technology and software, you can probably relate to the anxiety we commonly observe.
But if you taking a step back, this attitude should be shocking. We are barraged with the message that technology helps us move faster and get more done. We have also seen the frenzy when the newest iPhone or Apple watch is released; and social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest seem to have become staples in people lives. So why is training on new applications for work so hard?
We can point to a lot of issues that make productivity software more difficult to use than our favorite personal applications. Facebook designers are more interested in their design being intuitive to drive the number of users, while database designers have to be concerned about the functionality of a program. While issues of design, ease of use and the fun factor are some of the reasons why personal applications are easier to use, the biggest usability gap integrating workflows, policies, and reporting needs when implementing productivity software. Professionals not only need to be able to navigate through applications, but complete their work within the parameters required by their company.
