Knowing how to get the most from your software means that you can get the most from your business. Day-to-day tasks can be completed in more efficient ways if you just make a minor edit to the way these tasks are completed. You probably have a handful of your own tricks that you acquired with time; whether it’s something as simple as a keyboard shortcut or a piece of information that you got from hours of training time. Knowledgeable tricks like those are impossible to learn. They’re something that you teach yourself after you’ve learned how to do the task thoroughly, without any shortcuts, first.
Training and support can go a long way, but one of the fastest ways to master your software is to see how other people are using it. Consulting your peers on an issue taps into varying skills and can result in multiple solutions to the same problem. As you already know, a fresh set of eyes rarely comes from within the company and it can be risky and expensive to hire an outsider to reassess your practices. So how are you expected to get a different point of view if all the pieces stay the same and how are you expected to get the most out of your software if nobody teaches you their tricks?sdfsd
User Groups Conferences involve a collection of end-users, much like yourself, who are looking to share their secrets and learn more. Most technical products, especially software vendors, host conferences annually to keep their users up-to-date with the latest changes and upgrades. Every year, Jonas hosts these sessions across North America and the benefits are multitudinous. Over the past several years our User Groups have seen hundreds of people come through and experience the benefit of networking with other users, contributing development ideas and learning more efficient ways to use their software. You’ll be able to proficiently use Jonas and better understand and control which direction the product is heading. In addition to knowledge and expertise, you’ll also get a chance to unwind and relax in the evenings and allow the Jonas team to take you out for dinner and a show.
The best way to learn is to have a trainer come on-site, but that isn’t always a realistic option financially. We manage to fly in all of our trainers for the user groups, which makes this one of the only times you’ll see all of the Jonas experts together and can ask any of them for help. These two days of training coupled with a plethora of knowledge from our veteran staff make this the most valuable Jonas event you will ever attend.
This year’s groups will be in Las Vegas late October and in Toronto the week of September 26th and promise to deliver another sensational learning experience.
