Better Productivity Through eLearning

Working in the Learning Services Division for Compiere, Inc., I quickly found that with our number of customers and partners reaching across the globe, it became rather important that we provide alternative methods of training to reach as many people as possible. Currently, Compiere provides quarterly, instructor led trainings as well as an array of free product demos. However, as interest in our product increases, so must the provision of educational materials.

In response to our growing educational needs we’ve decided to utilize some of the technology available today and provide a suite of eLearning modules. The ability to educate as many people as possible on our product is not only valuable; it’s exciting to us as well. As a result, it is becoming much easier to reach as many people as possible, especially in an educational format.

Since the introduction of our suite of eLearning modules, we have noticed business partners, customers, and prospects have taken interest and have used the eLearning modules as a tool to fill the gap between our quarterly, instructor-led trainings and the present. We’ve also noticed a higher level of product knowledge in those who have reviewed the eLearning modules.

Our eLearning modules cover lessons from the Initial set up of Compiere to Purchasing Products and Sales. A learner could purchase all of the eLearning modules in one series or simply purchase the individual eLearning modules that best suit their learning needs. Learners will find that each module incorporates interaction as well as quizzes in order to provide a full, engaging, learning experience. Learners may also repeat a lesson or return to the module anytime within 120 days.

So far, we have found the interest in eLearning is increasing and we are adding more eLearning modules to our suite often. We also plan to provide an eLearning option to educate users on every capability within Compiere as we move forward.

All of our eLearning modules are available online at www.compiere.com. We have found it to be a valuable addition to our services and a great way to gain product knowledge as well as useful skills related to Compiere ERP and CRM and ultimately become more productive sooner rather than later.
