Beyond Implementation: The Critical Role of Continuous Training in ERP Utilisation

In today’s fast-paced business environment, leveraging the full potential of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is crucial for companies aiming to streamline their operations and enhance efficiency. However, the deployment of an ERP system marks the beginning of a journey rather than its culmination. To extract the maximum value from ERP systems, ongoing and periodic training is essential.

Keeping Pace with Continuously Updated Dynamic ERPs

The ERP systems Stratus Group implements undergo continual updates and enhancements (MYOB Advanced, Wiise, Epicor), introducing new features and functionalities every month. This evolution necessitates regular training sessions to ensure that your team remains adept at utilising the system to its fullest. Stratus Consulting Group specialises in keeping your company at the forefront of these changes. Our tailored training solutions are designed to address the unique needs of your business, ensuring that your staff’s skills are always up-to-date.

Enhancing User Skills and Productivity

Initial training sessions during the ERP system’s rollout are critical. However, as team members delve deeper into the system, advanced training becomes crucial to mastering the full range of functionalities. Stratus Consulting Group’s continuous training initiatives are focused on skill enhancement, empowering your team not just to operate the system but to excel in its use. This approach significantly boosts productivity and ensures that your company fully capitalises on its ERP investment.

New User Training

The success of an ERP system extends beyond its initial setup, requiring continuous training to address employee turnover and maintain system efficiency. New users often miss out on the foundational training their predecessors had, leading to knowledge gaps and inconsistency in system use. Establishing a rigorous new user training policy, complemented by regular updates and sessions for all users, ensures consistent, effective ERP usage. This strategy not only combats the challenges posed by turnover but also keeps the system and its users aligned with evolving business processes and technological advancements, securing the ERP system’s long-term value and effectiveness.

Customised Training Courses for Every Need

Recognising the diversity in business needs and challenges, Stratus Consulting Group offers customised training courses/packs tailored specifically to your company’s requirements. Whether it’s on-site training sessions or remote learning options, our objective is to equip your business and its employees with the necessary skills to leverage your ERP system effectively.

A Strategic Training Plan

Adopting a strategic approach to ERP training involves a plan that aligns with your company’s goals and the ERP system’s evolving nature. Stratus Consulting Group’s methodology includes:
