Using Beach and/or e-Fashion databases for training

Here’s the topic you were probably mentioning. :wink:

I made this same comment in the other topic… there are other things to consider in building training material. Island Resorts and eFashion are static. That means that the data, report results, and more importantly, screen shots included in the training manual won’t change. Many people don’t find the time or value in building a static training database on their “real” data.

What we often suggest (and implement) is a one-day session using Island Resorts or eFashion, followed by a half-day session lead by a SME specifically for their area. It means more time involved in training, but the benefit is that users don’t get distracted by “their” data during the main training, and by the send day they are more interested in and prepared for the idea of working with the “real stuff”.

My two cents… not adjusted for inflation.
