Complementary
Professional Services
Our Professional Services offers a full range
of services to ensure customers achieve swift and maximum value
from their investment. The services are provided by GeoKnowledge
directly or via our partner network.
Our services are tailored to the specific
instance based on customer requirements and GeoKnowledge's expertise.
The goal of all our services is to transfer knowledge and practices
to help our customers achieve self-sufficiency.
Training
GeoKnowledge offers a wide selection of training courses, both open-enrollment
and in-house at client site. The courses give a review of assessment
models and methods as well as of the mechanics of using GeoX.
In our experience, training courses are important
elements of customer roll-outs as they can jump-start the effective
use of GeoX. After the initial roll-out, training can be provided
as the GeoX solution expands with new tools and options, new employees
come on board, users move into more advanced analytics and use of
GeoX, and so on.
For more information on GeoX training and
examples of courses offered, see the Training section on our site.
GeoKnowledge also offers to "train-the-trainer"
for your internal training resources, as well as training specifically
for system administrators.
Installation
assistance
GeoX is easy to install and upgrade, and most of our customers do
not need outside technical installation assistance apart from what
is covered by maintenance fee.
GeoKnowledge recognizes, however, that in
some instances customers may prefer additional assistance because
of varying levels of deployment needs and technology adoption. One
recent example is assistance in the deployment of ASP solution hosted
by third parties.
On request, GeoKnowledge therefore offer
on-site or remote assistance to review installation and administration
procedures, as well as carrying out actual installation on-site.
In this way the customer is provided with technical expertise and
quality-assurance.
Analytical
consulting
GeoKnowledge can provide bespoke consulting in use of GeoX in connection
with customers specific risk-resource-value evaluations. This allows
users to leverage GeoKnowledge's expertise using advanced GeoX functionality,
as well as to speed up learning curve.
For full-scale consulting assistance, GeoKnowledge
can refer you to the appropriate partner consulting firms. These
are experienced industry consultants with hands-on experience of
using GeoX.
GeoX Best
practice & customized configurations
With a best-practice project, the customer and GeoKnowledge in close
cooperation establish and document "best-of-breed" standards
and guidelines for RRV evaluation in user instructions and template
cases. The GeoX customization capabilities are then used to configure
your solution in line with the agreed best practice guidelines and
standards. As part of best-practice projects, GeoKnowledge has also
provided on-on-one mentoring in active use of GeoX and carried out
workflow analysis.
By leveraging GeoKnowledge's deep technical
understanding, as well as experience of other customers' challenges
and value drivers, this program increases the return on investment
and speeds time to effective application and use.
