The rising tide of cloud adoption has many businesses and IT leaders planning how they can facilitate the transition to a hybrid remote, cloud-native workforce. Leaders have realized they can’t bring in new communication tools and allow employees across the company to develop inconsistent levels of proficiency and overall adoption rates. In fact, some experts would argue that training is the most important step in any migration project, both for employees and administrators.
There are several compelling reasons why leaders believe thorough training is crucial when rolling out new technology and why they see it as an investment rather than an expense:
First and foremost, companies have a significant investment in moving to the cloud. It is a large up-front cost and training is the most efficient way to achieve maximum ROI.
Without efficient group training, your IT department gets overwhelmed with open tickets and calls over simple, everyday tasks that users do not understand.
The Typical UCaaS and CCaaS Training Process
Frequently, training is a low priority during a new technology rollout. While a company may pay for a training or two, these courses often aren’t structured past sending a single email with optional attendance. Yet if employees don’t take advantage of early training, the burden falls squarely on the IT department to make up the slack while users try to figure out the technology on their own. The result is a very slow adoption rate with extensive misunderstandings.
In the meantime, the IT department is hammered for months with basic questions from the users that do make the switch. They receive hundreds of the same basic questions such as: “How do I transfer a call?” While these topics are simple and easy to answer, the large volume of queries each day paralyzes and wears out an IT department.
