Hello – are we all looking forward to Christmas? I know we are here in the offices of ReACT. In the run up to Christmas some people are out getting their gifts, others are frantically writing cards; we at ReACT are out and about installing and training on ReACT 4.
Recently we have been rolling out the Implementation and Training on ReACT 4. This is generally a two-day process. On the first day, we are working remotely on the customer’s server to implement ReACT 4 into a full TEST environment using a copy of the latest LIVE database. These have gone well and now that we are gaining more experience of issues that differing server environments can throw at us, we are managing to complete upgrades comfortably within the scheduled time slot. The biggest stumbling block we are getting is servers meeting the pre-requirements to the upgrade – it might be worth double checking your server to make sure you meet it too!
The following day, one of our ReACT trainers is on-site with the customer to deliver a day of training. The training typically consists of ReACT 4 Administrative / Configuration session, aimed at the Super-Users and then a session on ReACT 4 New Features aimed at the experienced end users. The Administrative / Configuration sessions are not only helpful to look at the new features we’ve included, but it also gives a chance to look at the current configuration while you have a ReACT Consultant with you. The second, end-user session, gives a chance to not only experience the new features, but also cement the correct usage of ReACT within the organisation.
We have found that the training is well accepted by all end users and each new feature generates interest from the delegates, not to mention any in particular, but the new Additional Notes control gets the biggest smiles!
Have you been using ReACT 4, why don’t you let us know what your favourite feature is so far? Try the Forums or send us a Tweet! @ReACTASB
On behalf of the ReACT Implementation Team, have a Merry Christmas.
Chris Powell.
