O2 University
Start of the project: April 2015
Project length: 4 months
O2 Slovakia has a network of internal trainers, who provide education of sales representatives, their training and testing. The company was looking for a solution for educational system management. The main aim was to gain a tool containing a possibility to plan trainings depending on career level.
The O2 University educational system is built on the SharePoint 2013 platform. With respect to great potential of the cloud and positive experience with the O2 World project, O2 Slovakia opted for Microsoft Azure as a project base.
- We have achieved larger flexibility of trainers preparing questions and tests as well as extended scope of tests, so trainers are now able to use all questions for various test types with different validity.
- The main advantage of the solution is its availability to all O2 Slovakia employees, so they don´t need to use applications of third parties. Common users as well as trainers can enter the application automatically.
- Immediate reports and feedback are available to trainers, who can filtrate and evaluate analytically the reports and discuss them even when they are on different places.
- The application is characterized by highly intuitive environment with simple navigation without a need for detailed training of end users.
- Employees are motivated by test environment to continuous education and professional development. It contributes to more effective customer service and improvement of the whole communication process with a customer.
