JBA has launched one of the most comprehensive enterprise software training tools available today - JBA Mentor. This is its latest addition to the series of products and services offered by JBA`s Active Learning Group - a division of JBA dedicated to providing complete training and support tailored to each customer.
Representing a complete learning environment for JBA System 21, JBA Mentor has been designed and written to give customers a clear competitive advantage by enabling them to extract maximum benefits from JBA System 21.
JBA Mentor offers users of JBA System 21 the following key benefits:
. Optimisation of software for maximum growth
. The ability and flexibility to train staff whenever necessary
. Protection of the skills pool of a business
. An inexpensive investment to safeguard future use of System 21 software
Peter Dillon-Parkin, Active Learning Group Operations Manager, JBA, comments: "JBA Mentor allows staff of all levels to get the most out of the software - from Senior Management who need to know more about system configuration to make informed choices, through to new staff who need very basic training. Moreover, in an increasingly competitive commercial environment an increase in the levels of software operational efficiency can mean large savings for the business as a whole."
One of the most significant benefits of JBA Mentor is the protection it gives against skills depletion. Nearly all businesses suffer from this at some stage, with experienced employees moving on and taking their knowledge of software operation with them. This can lead to a drop in the overall efficiency of software usage, and ultimately impact upon business efficiency as a whole. JBA Mentor can safeguard against these concerns by providing a comprehensive yet simple to understand training program for staff of all ability levels.
Dillon-Parkin continues: "JBA Mentor represents both the opportunity to maximize software benefits in the present and to plan for the future. The ability of this product to grow alongside alterations and advancements made to System 21 means that it has a potentially huge life span, despite costing less than three days of classroom training for one member of staff. It is yet another leading addition to the services offered by the JBA Active Learning Group."
