How to switch to online training in two weeks: A large wind turbine manufacturer based in Germany has been the German market leader since the mid-1990s. The company has manufacturing facilities in Germany and two other European countries, as well as in Brazil, Canada, India, and Turkey. In June 2010, the company announced the opening of a corporate headquarters in Ireland.

t4t was commissioned to train internal consultants, BPOs and key users in the new SAP S4/HANA technology. We have already successfully carried out such training projects dozens of times for customers from various industries. However, the global COVID 19 pandemic presented us with an unexpected challenge, so that we had to convert our on-site training concept into a virtual format within two weeks.
Challenge due to tight time frame
Despite the tight time frame, we wanted to rise to the challenge. First, we looked for the right software for online training: we chose MS Teams. Then we revised the training materials so that they could be used for the digital format. We also trained our team to deliver online training using the new software.
The project was a complete success: in total, we trained 60 people in English and German at locations around the world. During the training program, they gained an overview of MS Office 365, learned about the innovations between R3 and its successor Deltas, and worked on several modules (modules: SD, MM, PP, FI, CO, QM, PM/CS).
