When considering the impact of Office 2007 on users, one can refer to the Gartner report of 17 June 2008, which highlights the following:
* The Office 2007 migration is the biggest change users have encountered in the past 10 years.
* Users need more training on Office 2007 than on any other Office upgrade in the past 10 years.
* A variety of training options can help to ensure that different types of users have training options that are appropriate to them.
* Training needs to be a combination of:
* Lecture-based
* Hands-on
* Computer-based workshops
* Training needs to be mandatory
Bytes People Solutions has been involved in a number of migration projects and has a clear picture of the impact from a South African perspective. The risks can be summarised as follows:
* Delegates' resistance to change
* People use exactly the same functionality as in previous versions
* The productivity benefits of Office 2007 are seldom realised
* The cost of the training programme
Taking all this into account, Bytes People Solutions has created a training programme that consists of the following components:
* Buy-in sessions
* Content delivery
* Reporting and assessment
* Productivity sessions
