User training demos

If you had more time, you should install a test database with all the company date and forms, so they can access it to work out bugs and find what they need training on most.

We were using backup data in a test companies for a few months, while a few key people learned everything they could about Navision.

it was a train the trainer type of arrangement, I went and took classes with our solution center, using the standard Cronus database. and then took what I learned and used it in our test company.

then I trained the branch managers, who then practiced on the test company, they then trained there key people, who trained there key people.

This was over several months, as part of the training and testing also lead to program changes. so when we went live, it wasn't really a new system. This was back in 1999 when we went live with 2.0

now for the upgrade to 4.0 we went through the same process. and 2.0 to 4.0 was pretty big change.

But since you only have a few days, your are going to simply need a lot of man power, because the users are going to need lot of hand holding, and there is going to be a lot of frustration, a start like this can easily lead to a failed implementation, you could even have a few key manager demand you go back to the old system, and depending on their pull, that could happen.

I think I would step back, and see if you can delay the go-live untill you have thought out a better training and implementation schedule.

but that is just my opinion.

Other than not having any trained users the week of go-live.... who implemented the system?

To me it seems that if you know how to implement the system, you can explain it to others. If you don't know how to train users, do you know how to implement NAV?

Experts u already had experience how to give user training to client people. Is there any demos or manuals available . If any body have please give that URl . I hope u can give answers.


Have a nice day.

Using NAV manuals to train end users is probably not the best way to go... It's almost guarenteed that you'll put them to sleep. Not just that, they won't learn anything useful for their daily tasks.

The end user training should be tailored to the daily tasks of each functional area. For example, if you're training the sales team, you should simulate their daily, weekly, and monthly operations during training.

If you don't know their operations, then I suggest postponing the live date. A failed implementation is never easy to recover...
