Topic:

Training: The most important, and most eliminated, part of a successful SharePoint implementation

How do I push user adoption? This is a common question and often it has a simple answer... training. There are many considerations that come into play when considering SharePoint as an enterprise solution. Other than cost, the most common concern is user adoption. After all, what is the point of having SharePoint if no one uses it? Unfortunately, user adoption is often crippled by the lack of training. Diligent planning of your web applications and network configuration is of no consequence if you neglect to train your reluctant users on how to use the new system. More often than not, SharePoint is deployed and users are left to "click around" until they "figure it out" (sorry, I'm from North Carolina). Proper training sessions are an important piece of user adoption. Join us as we cover the methods, best practices and materials to improve user adoption through training.
