Our client, CA Technologies, needed to ensure the rapid and accurate adoption of new and modified internal business procedures in their upgrade of SAP. In an effort to radically remake their processes into more efficient and effective standards, they instituted a customized version of SAP covering their worldwide operations. Each SAP upgrade involves ten thousand learners or more. The client required each task or topic to be presented in a separate learning object to make it easy for learners to find the exact help they need while working.

In addition, after an orientation class focused on best practices, trainees sometimes adopted the old ways used in field offices.
