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.

What are the requirements?

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.

How does it work?

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!
