is a software application for the
administration, documentation,
tracking, and reporting of training
programs, classroom and online events,
e-learning programs, and training

Closing Thoughts
Aside from formal training courses…
• How do users find answers to simple questions?
• How do they empower and educate themselves?
• How accessible is this information?
• Can they collaborate with IT or others conveniently?
• How easy is it for you to keep your information up to date?
• Are you using Sharepoint to the full potential?
