Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bigtincan Readiness to support onboard and advanced training programs across our entire organization. It allowed us to create a standardized learning path where we could confirm every employee was receiving the information necessary for them to excel in their position, and that it was being reviewed in a timely manner.

Pros

  • Formatting material in a modern interface
  • Tracking results
  • Compiling data from a large pool

Cons

  • Making the admin side a little more intuitive.
  • Offer different templates
  • Having some sort of quarterly power user meeting series with tips, advice, etc.

Return on Investment

  • Visibilty to completion has been nice, rather than checking employees one by one.
  • Modernization for us of training material has helped create a more professional experience for new employees being onboarded
  • Accountability with who is learning what, has helped us dial in different training strategies.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Brainshark primarily as a content development tool. This allows us to use SME's to create presentations that can easily be exported as SCORM content that can be published on our enterprise LMS. This has allowed us much more flexibility, cut down on development time, and has empowered our organization to create targeted, specific training content that is easily updated so it is current and valid.

Pros

  • Content development
  • Works with all content types
  • simplifies and speeds up course development

Cons

  • Reporting - not as robust as most modern report engines
  • Not completely compatible with VR or HTML5 content
  • The system can get bogged down if you have lots of content
  • The admin management is not the best

Return on Investment

  • Increased our course development from approximately 2-3 /mo to between 30-50 /mo
  • We can quickly develop micro learning and publish it
  • In general, our users take more training and there is a trend/correlation - more training = increased sales
