SMIT GetFitKit for Microsoft Dynamics -

Training and user certification for your Dynamics system

One of the decisive keys to the successful introduction of a new ERP solution is optimally preparing users for the future system and the new processes, thereby ensuring their acceptance. Our experience shows that no matter how well you plan and implement Dynamics, if the users are not familiar with the concept, functionalities, interface and use at the time of go-live, or if they reject the system and the inevitable additional temporary work involved, it will not go live smoothly.
With the SMIT GetFitKit for Microsoft Dynamics, you can get your employees and all other future users of the new Dynamics system on board comprehensively and, above all, at an early stage. This way, you can start the new ERP world optimally prepared and with maximum motivation.
The SMIT GetFitKit is a training solution for creating and conducting training courses and certifications directly in your system. It consists of training material in the form of videos and webcasts, a learning sandbox and a Dynamics module with a two-stage certification with theoretical and practical exams as well as an area for course management and certification handling.

Train extensively in theory and practice with the SMIT GetFitKit

Future users are introduced to Dynamics and the training process via a webcast. Training videos are then made available to them, in which process flows and working methods in the new system are explained. The short videos, which are used to train one process at a time, can be viewed within a defined period of time according to individual scheduling and, if necessary, several times. This allows the users to harmonize the training with their daily work in the best possible way.

Each training participant is provided with the videos from the video library that are relevant to their role. At the same time, they are given access to a sandbox system. This training environment is an image of your Dynamics system and is available for self-training of workflows.

Throughout the video training and sandboxing phase, there will be daily webcasts to exchange ideas and answer questions.

Once users have consumed all the videos and optional additional training materials, the content they have learned is tested in theoretical tests in the form of multiple-choice questionnaires.

After passing the theory, they are admitted to the practical tests, which are carried out in the sandbox environment. Here, the candidates receive specific work instructions for each process they have learned and must implement these in order to successfully pass the practical part of the certification.

Train directly in the system thanks to Sandbox and SMIT GetFitKit

Not only the exams, but also the entire training administration, i.e. access to the course content, exam history and certification, is integrated into the Dynamics sandbox. In this way, future users are consistently familiarized with the system to be learned.

In addition, the subsequent roles and rights concept can already be used. After certification, the training participants are activated for the productive system and are immediately fully set up in the system so that they can start working straight away.

The course management in Dynamics makes the training course, progress and exam results of learners transparent at all times. This not only keeps you informed about the current status, but also allows you to see whether individual processes have been learned quickly or whether they pose challenges for users. Your Dynamics implementation can benefit from this feedback.

For your course managers, the SMIT GetFitKit also means a considerable reduction in workload beyond the transparency of the process: The organizational effort is minimal and both the questionnaires and the tasks for the practical exams can be easily uploaded and assigned to the roles. It also automatically ensures that employees with multiple roles are not assigned overlapping training materials and practical exams more than once.

Qualify early and sustainably with the SMIT GetFitKit

The content of the first webcast and the training videos are created individually for your Dynamics system. Whether you largely use standard processes or your Dynamics is highly customized - the videos will exactly reflect your workflows and user interface. This contributes significantly to the success of the training.

Production of the training videos is started at the same time as the test case creation for the user acceptance tests. This ensures that they are available on time. Depending on your approach, both processes can be closely interlinked. If you use the SMIT TestKit - our collection of logical test cases for standard processes in Dynamics - you will benefit from significant synergies here.

The SMIT GetFitKit not only supports you in preparing your users before the go-live. A permanently available training environment also brings you considerable advantages during ongoing operations. This allows you to train and certify new employees or users whose role has changed. You can also react quickly in the event of changes to your Dynamics system: If processes have been modified or new functionalities are available, videos, exam tasks and other materials can be adapted or, if necessary, recreated promptly and with little effort. You can also refresh and test your users' know-how at regular intervals. What's more, the training materials relevant to your Dynamics users are permanently available so that they can be used as a reference work.
