  • What is an Organizational Assessment? QuickStart works with your organization to develop specific training goals for each staff member based on their job roles and current skill set. Each team member's skills are assessed in a variety of technologies to develop a tailored and customized Learning Plan to bridge the skill gaps of your staff and the needs within their job role.
  • What are the benefits to my organization? Your QuickStart Assessment provides you with specific recommendations on Microsoft curriculum (Instructor-Led Training, eLearning, Microsoft Electronic Library, books) as well as mentoring or custom classes for your staff. This provides a more efficient use of your training resources, increased assurance of implementation readiness, and lower risk of project delays or overruns. Documenting technical skills and training processes is also a benefit for companies that need to justify training plans for budgeting purposes or comply with government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley or SEC rules.
