With the development of Cloud applications, or Software as a Service (SaaS), the need for a different type of training for companies is beginning to emerge. As companies make the move from their legacy system to Oracle Cloud applications, many companies find themselves asking several questions about Oracle Cloud Training, like:
If you have found yourself asking any of these questions, Oracle Cloud Training (or Oracle Cloud Training as a Service) may be the solution your company has been looking for.
Training as a Service is a subscription-based, on-demand training service. Traditional, static training can’t keep up with constantly updated Oracle Cloud applications. Training has to be maintained and kept up to date to maximize ROI on Oracle Cloud applications.
Companies with on-premise applications get to decide when they will purchase the updates for their software. Since on-premise applications do not change, training for on-premise applications does not need to be updated until the company updates their software.
On the other hand, companies with Cloud applications receive updates delivered by their vendor. For Oracle Cloud, the application updates are pushed quarterly. After a Cloud application has gone through four updates, go-live training will be irrelevant because it looks vastly different from the application. Training on a Cloud application has to be updated which each server update.
The amount of time taken to review and update each application’s content can be significant. There is also a small window from the time your test instance updates to the time your production environment updates. Your company would need a team solely dedicated to updating training content. Additionally, the modes of training your team can create for your end users may be limited unless you want to purchase subscriptions to external tools
You have two options. You can create a large internal team to update your training content quarterly, or you can find an Oracle Cloud Training partner who provides Training as a Service. With subscription training content, your training documents are updated quarterly by your Oracle Cloud Training partner. This allows you to leverage up-to-date training content without the high internal cost of maintaining the training content yourselves. This however does lead to another question often asked; Can generic content work for my company? Yes, many standard processes work for any company. However, if you find areas where your company is truly custom, you will need to look for an Oracle Cloud Training partner who offers the option to create custom content that follows your business processes.
Cloud application updates are not controlled by the company that purchased the subscription; they are controlled by the company supplying the access. This means two things:
The simple answer is Yes.
Without an Oracle Cloud Training as a Service provider, your team can’t focus on business initiatives. Your training team will be too focused on updating training content, and your IT team will be overwhelmed with IT support tickets. Your Oracle Cloud Training as a Service partner can help your team reap the benefits of your Cloud software while empowering your team to work on business initiatives.
A great Oracle Cloud Training as a Service vendor will offer several on-demand training options. This gives your employees the ability to train at their own schedule, at their own pace, from any location they are working from. They also offer training content in various modes for different learning styles. A great Oracle Cloud Training as a Service vendor should offer the following elements:
The only way to have updated training content on Cloud applications is by using an Oracle Cloud Training as a Service vendor. Your training partner will take ownership of updating standard training content without any effort from your company. If your company has custom content, you will need to work with your training partner to verify all changes during the two-week window between the development server update and the production server update. During this time, your training partner will work with you to update any simulations that are affected by an upcoming system update. This empowers your company with the knowledge of any big system changes before it affects your employees.
There are three main phases to creating custom content: Needs Identification, Asset Creation, and Learning Path Creation.
If Oracle Cloud, or Oracle SaaS, is right for your company, chances are high that your team needs Oracle Cloud Training as a Service. The benefits your company has identified for moving to Cloud software are the same reasons you should consider Oracle Cloud Training or Oracle Cloud Training as a Service. Oracle Cloud Training, like Oracle Cloud applications, lowers your capital and operational expenditure and decreases IT support tickets. Without proper training on your Cloud software, your company will not see the anticipated high ROI or user adoption. If your company is making the move to an Oracle Cloud application, Training as a Service is right for you.
