RBS understood the challenges faced in ensuring that the business and users embraced the new technology and understood that they had to capture both the heart and minds of the user community to ensure successful adoption across the group.
Comprehensive business solutions can be created to support a company’s information management and business needs. However, one of the great difficulties of a SharePoint deployment is ensuring user adoption, as an application driven by users, businesses need to ensure that users are enthused by what the product can offer, inspired by how efficient it can make them become and eager to learn about the new technology.
RBS wanted to find an external education provider that would provide them with the knowledge, skills and learning platform to provide their user community with the understanding, awareness enthusiasm and learning platform to ensure that each phase is delivered to meet the exact needs of the business.
