Streamline Training Process

Software Overview 

This introductory segment of the training process assists new users to become familiar with Visual Streamline, gaining experience in menu navigation, screen layouts, keyboard shortcuts and the power of “drill through” capabilities.  For the experienced user, this is typically a quick review. 

Master-file Review and Definition

Clearly understanding and reviewing the master files and supporting tables is an important step of any software implementation.  In this segment of the training plan, each field and function of every master file is reviewed.  By accomplishing this, clients gain an understanding of how files and fields are linked to one another.  This also gives clients an opportunity to plan the conversion of their current data into Visual Streamline. 

Management Training 

Work flow -> processes -> procedures -> business practices are all integral pieces that make organizations tick.  This portion of the training plan relates to the higher level of software understanding.  Business practices, software settings and configurations are extensively reviewed.  An examination of the accounting flow and sales reporting features are presented.  In some instances, this can lead to re-engineering of workflow and business practices.

End User Training 

End User training is the hands-on training of day-to-day transactions.  All the application functions that are used daily are trained during this phase.  Order Entry, Invoicing, Purchasing, Inventory, Accounts Receivable and Payable are some examples of the core areas that are trained in detail with the end user in mind. 

Post Live Training 

Things change. By the time clients are ready to perform their first month end, there are inevitably some processes that need to be revisited and in some cases further training. In other circumstances, clients want to further use the power of Visual Streamline to enhance their business practices. We will also assist your company in preparing for its first month end processing. This phase of the training plan encompasses these types of changes and process review.
