Details about the Procurement Workshop may seem like a well-kept secret, but actually it's just that the full story about this valuable training opportunity isn't widely known. So we're spreading the word. What it includes
• Requisitions • Purchasing • Invoice Matching “The beauty of this class,” explains Pam “is that you get the full picture. The procurement process is tightly integrated, with all applications sharing much of the same information. We designed this learning experience to help customers see the connections between procurement activities and experience first-hand how all of the processes work together.”
Workshop structure Customers usually have to take four separate classes – and potentially make four separate trips – to accomplish the same training. “When you take the classes individually, you don't get a comprehensive view,” continues Pam. “You're not aware of how your ‘item setup' may affect users ‘requesting items,' or how costs get updated when an invoice is matched. Also, if you take the courses out of sequence, you may find the natural flow interrupted.” Who it's for Pam Schultz has been with Lawson for seven years working in the procurement area. Prior to coming to Lawson she worked as a business office manager where she gained end-user experience. Later she worked in software implementation, primarily on the healthcare side. “As a trainer who comes from the end-user side of things, my goal is to help make people's jobs easier,” says Pam. “I like to know that I've given them the information they need to make educated choices and come up with the best decision for their organization.” The Procurement Workshop is held at Lawson corporate headquarters in St. Paul once each quarter. The next workshop will begin on January 29, 2008. Call 1-888-449-8931 or send an e-mail to lawsonlearning@lawson.com to register or get more information. | ||

Lawson Learning is setting a standard with its new web site. Eye-catching flash animations lead you to updates on current offerings, clear descriptions of our current Learning options, and region-specific information about Learning Centers with downloadable Learning schedules and local contact details.
The new web site is a project that has been underway since the merger of Lawson with its Sweden-based counterpart, Intentia. With the new Lawson global network, we have broadened our Learning options; while at the same time consolidating and standardizing courses and formats to fit both Lawson M3 and S3 product line customers across the globe. It's been a big job, and the project has given us opportunity to look more closely at our products and services.
The new Learning web site gathers proof points from syndicated research on the importance of software training to implementation success. We offer evidence from a new IDC study showing that Lawson Learning strategies and capabilities make us an industry leader – giving you a definite learning edge.
