Over the past few months, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to speak with many companies whose IT teams are focused on a path of \u201cdigital transformation.\u201d The one thing I hear over and over is the challenges they have in getting users to adopt new software even though it will help them to be more productive in the long term.<\/p>\n

These tools provide users with the resources they need to build the skillsets needed to be successful while providing you with the insights you need to track adoption.<\/p>\n
