Nikad - Key Benefits & Features of Our Solutions

Key Benefits of Nikad's Solutions:

Are your employees struggling to accurately follow text-based procedure manuals and instructions? What might these errors cost your company annually? Nikad offers you the opportunity to find internal efficiencies, improving your bottom line.

Employee Training

Nikad can create SCORM (Sharable Content Reference Model) conformant courseware that can be integrated into Learning Management Systems (LMSs). SCORM is a widely recognized and broadly supported e-Learning standard that permits the interoperability, accessibility, reusability and delivery of online learning content.

Ensure your audience is interacting with the course by integrating multiple-choice and true/false questions anywhere. Track and respond to user interactions. Provide feedback, branching, linking to other sites, and user performance scoring. Nikad's hosted LMS service provides convenience and consistent delivery of courseware.

What You Need, When You Need It

Insert Nikad tutorials to make your Help system topics more effective and appealing. Readers can get lost in text-based instructions, leading to additional questions, errors, and confusion. Visual examples that incorporate audio and captions are easy to follow, helping the reader focus on achieving results.

Adopt our 5-minute learning objects and benefit from an instant, self-paced, on-demand, just-in-time training resource.

Enterprise Systems Implementation

Make your SAP, PeopleSoft, BAAN or other systems implementation more successful and effective by using our 5 to 30 minute e-Learning objects. Nikad can help create short animated tutorials to help employees follow the procedural steps in an application, thus increasing ROI of your CRM or enterprise solution.

Sales and Marketing Demonstrations

Although optimal, it is not always practical or cost-effective to do in-person demos to potential clients. Display your products to potential customers from anywhere using the demos created for you by Nikad. Small file sizes and high resolution make our presentations ideal for posting on your web site or emailing directly to potential clients. You can even load our Flash demos on your sales team's laptops or PDAs to give on-site demos of your products.

Technical Support

How much of your IT employees' time is spent answering the same questions multiple times per day? Simulations of commonly asked questions or procedures stored in a knowledge base can be accessed multiple times with little to no impact on your IT department. Reduce the cost and volume of tech support calls by helping your users help themselves. With Nikad-created tutorials, you can provide them with the answers they need to solve their technical issues on their own. Simply email the tutorials or simulations to your users' desktops or post them on your corporate intranet for 24/7 access.
