datango vs. SAP Enable Now® / WPB® - the better alternative
To utilize the extensive functions of SAP® to get the most out of the system, appropriate training is essential. Although SAP® in-house solution SAP® Enable Now® (SEN), we are of the opinion that datango offers the better alternative here.
In this blog post, we will therefore take a closer look at the advantages of datango over SEN and find out why datango is the ideal choice to optimize your SAP®-knowledge and ensure the progress of your company.
Keeping pace in the dynamic digital world
To succeed in a fast-paced and competitive environment, companies need a comprehensive and targeted digitization strategy that enables them to keep pace with the latest technologies and trends. An important component of this strategy is the continuous training of employees across different generations as well as the holistic support of processes, especially during internal change cycles. After all, only when employees can accept and use the new digital tools and processes can the full potential of digitization be realized.
In the course of this digital transformation, enterprise software solutions such as SAP® plays a decisive role. This is an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) that offers companies an extensive range of modules and functions to plan, control and manage personnel, resources, capital, equipment, materials and information and communication technology in a timely and needs-based manner in line with the company's purpose.
A key component of the successful implementation of SAP®-software in companies are the employees. It is crucial that there is a high level of acceptance for the change and that the new tools are not perceived as a disruption, but as a necessary step towards innovation and greater customer satisfaction.
The decisive factor here is that they feel "pleasure in" rather than "frustration with" the software. Another important aspect is the time needed for the "change" before operations return to normal. The decisive factors in achieving these goals are SAP®-Training courses in e-learning format. They enable employees to gain a deeper understanding of the functionality of SAP® and make full use of them. Through targeted training programs, companies can therefore ensure that their employees have the necessary know-how and ensure smooth operation and successful implementation in a timely manner. E-learning software should be capable of "workplace learning" so that parallel working is guaranteed. The support options should be as individual as the users. When introducing such extensive systems, particular attention must be paid to ensuring that the process documentation can be created simply, easily and quickly by the author.
SAP® Enable Now & Workforce Performance Builder systems - what's behind them
SAP® Enable Now® (SEN)" is a software solution from SAP® itself, which supports companies in developing training and learning content for their SAP®-systems. SEN enables users to create interactive training materials, online help and documentation to improve the effectiveness of training and increase user competence.
The Workforce Performance Builder® (WPB) was the original name of the software before it was renamed SAP® Enable Now was renamed. WPB offered similar functionalities to SEN and was therefore used by companies to create and manage individual training content. The renaming to SAP® Enable Now® to ensure close integration with other SAP®-products and solutions.
Both programs therefore aim to optimize employee training and development and help companies to impart the knowledge and skills required to use SAP®-solutions effectively and improve workflows.
