Development of online ERP end-user training is easy and cost effective with Articulate Storyline. Check out how it addresses various factors of the training.
I’m sure you’d agree with me that end-user training is usually an afterthought in most ERP projects. Why do you think it is so? This is because the ERP implementation partners only train the trainers and are very expensive, so the budget becomes unviable when it comes to end-user training.

Many organizations do not have a specialized team to develop these training programs and might not know whom to approach. In such situations, there can be one solution! Wondering what’s that? E-learning development using rapid authoring tools! Yes, you’ve read it right. You can do it yourself without any knowledge of coding. Rapid authoring tools make the online ERP end-user training development process easy and cost effective with their built-in features.
Not sure which tool to use? Wait, I think I know one such tool. It’s Articulate Storyline. In this blog, we will discover how Articulate Storyline addresses the WHAT, WHY, HOW and KNOW factors of ERP end-user training.
The What & Why
The WHAT and WHY factors of ERP end-user training discuss what ERP is all about and the importance of its implementation and training. In online ERP end-user training, you can address this factor using an avatar which acts as a guide/instructor for the end-users. The avatar must relate to the end-users’ roles/ jobs and provide adequate motivation. Articulate Storyline provides both illustrated and real avatars. These avatars are of different professions, races, and ages in various poses and expressions. They enable effective, quick development of guided e-learning programs to address the WHY factor in online ERP end-user training. The screenshots given below display the various avatars Articulate Storyline provides.
The How
The HOW factor of ERP end-user training demonstrates how to perform the functions related to the end-users’ job roles. In online ERP end-user training, you can address this factor through software training simulations which provide end-users hands-on training experiences of the ERP system.
