  • Wrong audience for course

* Set minimum skill limit for course attendance
* Course is lab-based with hands on practice
* Certification offered to demonstrate success
* Course can be taken off-site to reduce disturbances

  • Misunderstanding of the technical impact
    * Incorrect assumptions on technical output

* Knowledge transfer is only instigated by certified Tideway consultants
* Distinction made between what is appropriate for Administrators, and End-users
* Document and approve technical products
* Share Tideway Services deployment experience

End-User Training

  • Focus on product training, and not value training
    * Failure to focus on areas of value
    * May not use the Appliance directly
  • Focus on end-user's role in the organization and Tideway's capability relevant to them
    * Focus on reporting and understanding the data in the context of the end-users role
    * Wiki for easy access 'how-to' and 'why' information relevant to end-user domain expertise

  • It takes time to learn how to model effectively
    * Without continued practice skills don't develop

* Validate class-room learning with hands-on practice
