Onboarding and offboarding

• Getting started: As an end user web portal, the site is very intuitive and designed to follow web site conventions so significant end user training is not usually required other than providing general 'getting started' information. This is usually incorporated into our client's general training for new reception and front desk staff. The visitor check-in/check-out system is designed to require no training and is very intuitive as, if training was required, then the product would not meet requirements as a self-service tool. Engage will provide guidance on the content of ongoing training as part of your onboarding. We can deliver training if required and this can be scoped and quoted to meet your requirements. We will provide up to four training sessions which are typically delivered online as they do not take long as the system is not complex to use. On site training can also be offered at a standard daily rate for the trainer plus expenses. We provide a user guide in a PDF format to those who undertake the content management training. This guide also covers some administration tasks.

At the end of the contract, the service is ceased ; We will, as standard, provide clients with a copy of their data on exit. ; Data will be provided in a predetermined format, typically CSV, HTML, PDF or Excel.
