Internet Based Training
A Less Expensive and Expeditious Option to EnterpriseIQ Training
Fast, economical connections to the Internet have
paved the way for an online method of training Internet Based
Training (IBT). While not replacing on-site or classroom training,
IBT can
dramatically enhance training efforts by reducing cost, reducing
lead-time, and increasing training
focus. Courses are completely customized by the user and can be
taught on any topic.
Using WebDemo, two (or more) computers can connect
in a virtual network across a LAN or
WAN including the Internet. With this in place, the IQ training
staff can connect directly to the PC, and begin training in real-time,
with little to no delay.
On-site and classroom training are often the most
effective way to help bring an organization into full implementation.
While not replacing these training options, IBT can dramatically
enhance results by:
- Greater Availability - Many courses are available
that tackle the important issues facing our customers.
- Reduced Cost - IBT customers eliminate the high
cost of travel. IBT training is charged on a per hour basis (minimum
one hour). Additional time is prorated at each quarter hour.
- Reduced Lead-time - IBT courses can be set up in
some cases within hours of the initial request, eliminating delays
that might be caused with travel or other time constraints.
- Increasing Training Focus - IBT courses are designed
to deal with specific functions and modules within EnterpriseIQ,
and can be geared towards a highly focused audience, using customer
data or IQMS sample data.
There are three requirements to be able to take advantage
of IBT:
1) Direct Internet Connection. The end user PC must
be connected to the Internet via an IP address. IBT does not work
with a dial-up modem connection to the Internet. Dial-up is generally
too slow and unreliable in a training environment. For best connection
results, IQMS does not support modem connections for IBT training.
2) Due to program upgrades and trainer / system compatibility, IBT
training can only occur on customer data that is within supported
versions. Supported versions are considered to be within two major
updates.
3) Voice line. A voice line must be available in the same location
as the PC that will host the training session. This allows trainer
and users to communicate about the activities taking place on the
screens.
With these requirement in place, the IQMS training
staff can connect directly to the PC, and begin training in real-time,
with very acceptable performance.
Just like other training options, IBT sessions are
scheduled events. The customer will book a time and a topic. A full
time trainer is then scheduled to teach the session to one or more
individuals. At the pre-scheduled time, an Internet connection is
made so that both trainer and students are viewing the same information,
and a phone connection is made to handle voice communication. It's
that easy!
Courses are cost effective at a rate of $150.00 per
hour. There is a minimum of one-hour charge.
Costs are prorated in 15-minute segments after the first hour. Rates
are subject to change.
