Try the "Locker" approach

Most folks would probably recognize SAP as a corporate-level tool beyond the need or reach of small and medium-sized organizations. Well, Traxion Consulting Inc. has come up with a support mechanism  they feel may help bridge the gap. They call it "Digital Lockers". I asked their analyst, Juliana Bruno, if and how Lockers could help specifically SMOs, and she responded with the following reasons why the lockers would be an effective tool:

" 1. They provide employees with a user friendly and accessible way to build their skills and become more efficient with the systems they use daily. The Digital lockers are a cost effective way for your company to grant your employees access to a library of insightful media, training tools.

2. Giving your employees or business units access to our Digital Lockers helps ensure that your employees are using SAP comfortably and most effectively.

3. We do the leg work:

   - We subscribe to all of the major SAP newsletters, white papers, forums, blogs and RSS feeds, as well as independent blogs and training resources

   - We take the time to read and sort through all of the content that we gather to determine which SAP professionals would derive the most value from that content.

   - We transfer, and index that content into the appropriate "Digital Locker" and "Topic" within the locker so that our subscribers are constantly kept up to date with media concerning their respective SAP industry in the most organized fashion.

   - Subscribers simply log in to their locker from any web-enabled device and will find all of their content available for download broken down by topic and file type, as well as the most recently added material.

   - Subscribing to a Digital Locker means that you do not have to save large files and content onto your computer, it will always be in the cloud, and will always be universally accessible.

   - Our lockers are used by consultants and SAP professionals because they are an extremely cost effective resource for staying relevant, increasing their productivity, troubleshooting, solving performance issues, planning and executing more effectively, and building a personalized digital library of SAP learning tools that make you more valuable.

4. We can also create custom lockers for SMBs that wish to give employees access to specific company training materials or corporate documents. This way employees can have access to a resource for problem solving and skill building outside of working hours. "
