Software changes. It’s the cardinal rule, whether you’re Oracle, Microsoft, or Apple. As a Microsoft partner, we know that the organization is constantly iterating to make their products better for the end user.

Change is hard. That’s why deploying technology makes for a challenging environment in any company. New technology helps companies improve – but only if employees are properly trained in how to optimize it. That’s why the installation of new software or hardware is often met with a collective sigh; providing training takes skill and attention to best practices – or the rollout may cause a lot of frustration.

Deploying any new technology requires expertise in best practices that will facilitate learning across a diverse set of employees. Those best practices must accommodate all learning styles with a variety of techniques designed to reach every user in the company.
