Onsite Crystal Reports Mentoring
In an ideal world, your staff would have the time, experience and knowledge necessary to complete any business intelligence project, irrespective of size, scope or complexity. Trouble is, your staff is already fully utilized on projects and maintenance. Even if time were available, they may not possess all the knowledge, skills and perspective iiR has gained from successfully implementing reporting solutions for hundreds of organizations over the past 12 years.
The good news is that iiR has learned the hard lessons for you. We know what works – and what doesn’t. As your mentor, we can guide you through the rough spots. You gain the value of all of our experience without incurring the time, cost or risk.
What is Onsite Mentoring, and how does it differ from contracting?
If you are looking for ways to move a project forward or overcome a challenge while minimizing the risk and cost, then Onsite Mentoring from iiR is the answer.
Onsite Mentoring is a quick, easy and cost-effective way to bridge the skill, knowledge and experience gaps; and guide your staff through any project or challenge. Unlike long-term contracting, we serve as a mentor, educating and coaching your staff for a short duration. In many cases, a week or two can put your project on a successful track and help you avoid common project missteps, costly mistakes and risk along the way.
What is the difference between Onsite Mentoring and training?
The difference between onsite training and onsite mentoring is in the scope and structure of the engagement as well as the number of participants.
- Onsite Training is conducted in a traditional classroom setting with formal training materials and a narrowly defined scope, with typically with 4 to 12 students.
- Onsite mentoring is conducted less formally and may include an array of activities around a given project or challenge. The focus is on project success, and typically includes mentoring, educating and coaching a group of 1 to 3 participants.
What activities can be included in Onsite Mentoring?
The critical success factor in any engagement is identifying the activities necessary to achieve your specific business goals. Onsite mentoring allows you to focus on the specific activities necessary to bring your project or challenge to success, such as:
- Team mentoring
- Onsite education and training
- Strategy and roadmap development
- Project assessment and start-up
- Architecture, data model and application design reviews
- Proven best practices, tips and techniques
- Migration and upgrade assessments
- Problem debugging and resolution
- Performance tuning and optimization
