The challenge
The customer was updating their CAD software, moving from Creo Parametric version 4.0 to 7.0, and was looking for training content to support their users during this transition. Having previously purchased training guides from Rand 3D, the customer was familiar with the quality of the courseware and Rand 3D’s capability for creating customized solutions. In this case, the customer wanted to be able to integrate their best practices and workflows into Rand 3D’s off-the-shelf content to create tailored courses that internal instructors could teach to their users. In addition to seeking quality Creo training content, the customer was looking for a convenient, cost-effective way to get the new training material into the hands of employees and incoming interns situated across various groups within the organization.

The solution
The customer chose to use the ProductivityNOW eLearning platform to give their users access to Rand 3D’s best-in-class Creo training content because of the flexibility the platform provided. The customer was able to add their own training content to the platform and customize the Rand 3D content to remove material not applicable to their users. By doing so, end-users were able to access a hybrid class that contained Rand 3D courseware content mixed with company-specific content, so they only learned the material that was relevant to their everyday tasks.
