At Compass Business Solutions we believe that the best software solutions will fail without preparation and the creation of a knowledgeable workforce. Successful software and business process implementations involve everyone at every level in your company. Everyone needs to understand and commit to the project’s goals and objectives.
We believe that the education process must be supported from top management down. The assignment of project team members is critical. No group can be left out. The entire project team should receive all core training to understand how actions can impact various groups in an organization. This process can help strengthen a team’s dynamics. The project team will begin working and learning together. They will be able to analyze business practices and determine the appropriate software and business solutions. Closer to implementation, the critical mass needs to be trained on functionality specific to their needs. This training is best performed hands-on using your company test database and your documented procedures.
Compass Business Solutions can help you develop the knowledgeable work force that drives the software and business process changes through implementation and beyond. It is our objective to make sure our customers are self-sufficient and able to optimize their use of the software.
Compass Business Solutions Instructors have years of industry experience, education and training. They are certified in the QAD software and hold APICS, CPA, CTT and other certifications as well. Our training style provides an interactive, highly charged environment.
