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
This month, I\u2019d like to share with you some great tools and resources that you can leverage to help drive adoption with your users. 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
