• #12: Global Bank: 18,000 employees and they managed to upgrade from 7.11 to 9.3 in 60 minutes across 24 time zones.   Their project included 7000 stakeholders, 5 continents, 14,000 assignment groups, 33 integrations and simultaneous deployment. RBC has created specific ART content for different teams and roles “ART is the #1 reason we were able to go live the way we did.   ART is an absolutely phenomenal enabling tool, which cut our training costs by 90% and upped our adoption from the typical RBC for new applications of 40% to 95%.   6500 people trained, less than 200 service calls and less than 1/3rd of those were training related.  Results = Huge Increase in Performance.” No need for a training environment  - people learned by show me/try me , Also used for training in advance of UAT, 6500 people trained, less than 200 service calls and less than 1/3rd of those were training related.
• #13: Columbia Sportswear: rolled out a new SAP platform in their Canadian subsidiary. Unfortunately, the rollout did not go as planned, according to Myra Lavenue, Columbia Sportswear’s Organization Change Management Training Lead. “We did not have cohesive and thorough communication to the users about the changes that were coming. Nor did we have a standard way to train them.” 250 Hands-on scenario based exercises - The uPerform documents that were created were paramount in our go live success since they were readily available and very thorough. End users were able to utilize these (documents) without having a trainer constantly helping them through the steps involved in their processes,”
• #14: Infirmary Health: “In less than 10 weeks, we completed more than 10,000 training events and all our physicians were ready to use the new software upon implementation.” Goal would require that over 850 physicians and supporting mid-level providers be trained quickly and comprehensively. One of the primary issues effecting the education of physicians is the lack of time the average physician has in their daily schedule for activities such as training. Past education initiatives for physicians had included one-on-one training which proved to be timeconsuming and expensive. In addition, development of curriculum tended to be slow and difficult to maintain. the training environment should be able to be accessed on-demand, either on-site or remotely, by the physician population. RESULTS: “We were able to centralize our training and track the progress of each of our 850 physicians,” said Zarr. “We moved from our go-live adoption to optimization much quicker than expected which sped up our implementation process and lowered our operating costs.” In a span of eight weeks, over 850 physicians and more than 500 support staff were fully trained in the EPIC software which allowed for a seamless software rollout in March 2014. Infirmary Health’s consultant/ trainer needs were reduced by 33 percent as uPerform allowed for a rapid deployment of custom content that eliminated the one-on-one training model. “In less than 10 weeks, we completed more than 10,000 training events and all our physicians were ready to use the new software upon implementation,”
• #17: How do we get there? Provide the platforms and content for the future learner while simultaneously making current learning more effective
• #18: User Adoption goes far beyond classroom training or any one team

Unfortunately, the rollout did not go as planned, according to Myra Lavenue, Columbia Sportswear’s Organization Change Management Training Lead. “We did not have cohesive and thorough communication to the users about the changes that were coming.

End users were able to utilize these (documents) without having a trainer constantly helping them through the steps involved in their processes. This new approach prepared trainers to successfully guide end users through the learning process; fostered organizational commitment and buy-in; and established a global super user network to embed departmental expertise.
• #21: Enterprise application rollout to physicians with mission critical implications: Primary issue effecting the education of physicians is the lack of time the average physician has in their daily schedule for training. Past education initiatives had included one-on-one training which proved to be time consuming and expensive. In addition, development of curriculum tended to be slow and difficult to maintain.

• #28: Between proficiency and adoption I think we need the “how” – how do we make the leap from proficiency to adoption? I think it’s behavior. I think the formula for adoption is understanding+proficiency+(reinforced) behavior=adoption Functional: Increasing levels of proficiency directly leads organizations to increase level of software user adoption and realize the most of their technology investment Behavioral: Driving the increased use of the application (behavioral change)
• #29: Adoption is the holy grail of all software companies, because it is the one critical measurement of how much value your customers are getting out of the money they invested in your company. Sales And Renewals At the start of the business relationship, you have sales revenue. We know that adoption is a driver for sales, because us sales people do this all the time: Sell a small project as a pilot… and upon success of that pilot, expand that project into other areas of the company. That’s almost inherent in the model. As your customers use your product more, they will: Keep buying your products (and paying subscription & renewal fees) But we’re also seeing a large trend that our business partners are now able to provide. Most help services are for “experts”… the 5% of the user population that become super-users. Training, classes, content is targeted towards them. But there’s a big gap in the remaining 95% of your users… the ones that aren’t experts. The ones that don’t need to go to a week-long boot camp to learn everything there is to know about the product. They just need to know enough to do their job, and play their part in the organization. With Ancile, we have a way of delivering that. Getting those just-in-time help services to those 95% of your users that currently aren’t major customers or consumers of your education and help services. Ancile allows you to offer that group of people something relevant and valuable to them. And we’re seeing that the customers out there are willing to pay for it. Professional Services … and creation of that custom help content becomes a new type of Professional Services project. We’re going into a lot of new international markets with exactly the value proposition of leading with Professional Services to create that system that can deliver custom just-in-time help for those 95% of end-users. We also see customers want to start using your technology to integrate and connect with other technologies (integration), Make it customized to fit better in their environment, or have it solve some of the more complex functions that require deeper tie-ins with their organization (advanced usage) Development They start to get a great sense of the benefits and shortcomings of your tools… often much more than any single person in your company knows. And as such, their feedback becomes highly valuable in guiding future product development. You know what features your most engaged customers want. And that those enhancements will have an impact on both them, and other customers out there. Because that deep inherent understanding of your tool exists with customers that have a deep understanding and adoption of your tool in the field. Customer Support And as they know the product better, they actually call Customer Support less. Because they learn the ins-and-outs of your tool, and they know what they can and cannot do with it. We actually have a study we commissioned with Hobson (an external analyst group) that showed a direct correlation between Ancile’s product, and reducing Support call volume for an SAP implementation by about 25% after a 1-year period.
