The goal

Training impacts user software adoption and secures a low churn rate

A low churn rate and high customer usage and satisfaction with your software solution is the sweet spot to the sustainable growth of your organization.

Many software companies rely on NPS, robust support documentation, and a dynamic content strategy to achieve this sweet spot. Training is also at the core of ensuring a steady and reliably low churn rate and a high level of customer expertise with your software. Ping Identity knew this, yet their training team was being held back by inefficient training software solutions that resulted in a web of spreadsheets and disconnected learning analytics. They were losing valuable time, so they came to Administrate looking for a data-driven approach to training.

 

Challenges

Too much admin, not enough strategy

Manually managing training was making it hard for Ping Identity to scale, so they partnered with Administrate.

  • Using spreadsheets to manage course catalogs, instructor schedules, and course information was slowing their team down.
  • Accessing multiple disconnected systems compromised data integrity, making it difficult to connect the dots between training and organizational goals.
  • Bulk email sends to learners and instructors took up most of their team’s time, limiting their ability to think strategically about the future.

Solution

From scattered tools to a strategic training infrastructure

The training department operating Ping Identity University knew they needed to think beyond their current learning tech stack. So, they leaned into a platform approach to build a learning tech infrastructure.

  • Synced calendars for resource availability, and course and instructor schedules provided their team with actionable visibility of training.
  • Administrate’s TMS provided Ping Identity with a single system of record where all their training data from multiple systems is housed.
  • Automated communication triggers, flexible course templates, and a powerful, customizable, no-code reporting engine empowered their team to get strategic.
