Increase User Adoption with NetSuite Knowledge Base

Lack of user adoption is regularly acknowledged as a cause of failed ERP implementations. It is understandable that an ERP system which is new to most users and has significant functionality can be overwhelming and confusing. To address user acceptance and increase user participation, training is a great first step. Users leave training empowered and enabled — then time passes and employees begin to forget details or how to utilize certain capabilities.

No one can be expected to remember each detail of a process having only been trained once. Users do their best and click around until they believe their tasks are completed. Yet, how they get their tasks completed may not be the same as the taught process. Users performing processes in different ways leads to a variety of results and reporting issues.

Training materials are time consuming to create and cumbersome to use when on the phone with a customer. The material must be located and opened, then the appropriate data needs to be located  —  this can be frustrating for any user. Even with the best training materials, employees still require assistance from team members.
