  4. Research Says Learning Is Important To ERP Success • Training is consistently an under-budgeted item and is often the first item cut in the budget … each hour of effective training is worth five hours to the organization because well-trained users (1) reach the required skill level in less than a quarter of the time, (2) require less assistance from peers and help desks, and (3) spend less time correcting errors (Gartner, Slater, Aldrich, 2000). • Research shows learning makes significant impact on core software business results: • Trained customers are 60% more successful in achieving their expected business benefits. • Trained customers use 20% more product features Business Objects internal study, 2006

  5. Research Says Learning Is Important To ERP Success Consequences User Competence • Single biggest reason why enterprise application implementations fail is a result of insufficient end user education (Cap Gemini) • 66% of implementations don’t yield intended ROI due to adoption problems (AMR Research) • User support is the single biggest cost associated with application utilization (Gartner) highly failing competent competent sub standard Source: Meta Group

  6. How you see us - Survey results 2008 • What you’ve said • 81% of respondents were aware we existed .. We aren’t a secret anymore! • But less than half (48%) had used Lawson Learning post implementation • 54% rated us as “good – excellent” • But 29% rated us as average • Only 43% of you wanted training in version 7.1 • Finance management, supply chain planning, and customer sales planning were the top topics • You strongly favor face to face instructor led training, but virtual training and self paced were acceptable when required. Lawson Learning … simply smarter!
