Vertiv is a global leader in designing, building and servicing critical infrastructure that enables vital applications for data centers, communication networks and commercial and industrial facilities.
Vertiv is a $6B provider of equipment and services for data centers. It was formed in 2016 from Emerson Network Power and now operates in more than 130 countries with 27K+ employees.
In 2019, Vertiv faced a huge, global upgrade of Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) and the need to upskill users on multiple new Cloud and on-premise applications. The lean training team needed a solution that would be easy for Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) to use in order to build content, while also managing the scale of 1,000’s of documents. This content also required translation to multiple languages to support their global audience, with the ability to convert to 19 languages, including German, Chinese and Hungarian.
Additionally, as a long-time customer of Oracle’s User Productivity Kit (UPK), Vertiv had over 1,000 UPK help topics to convert to the new platform, Opus. Vertiv needed to seamlessly migrate these UPK help topics to a library of content with minimal effort and continuity of business.
Objectives and criteria for the solution:
- Rapid UPK conversion to fully editable content
- Embedded translation into 19 languages
- Easy to use for Subject Matter Experts to record content
- No additional cost for additional target applications (allowed to rapidly scale to 16 applications)
After considering other tools such as WalkMe, Assima and uPerform, Vertiv determined that Opus was the best solution for their Oracle conversion project and ongoing end user Support. Now into their fourth year of usage, other business units and applications use Opus.Vertiv has expanded to over 6,000 users and 16+ target applications.
Competitors involved:
- WalkMe – was ruled out due to per application fee and significantly higher cost
- Assima – was ruled out due to complexity of implementation and potential delay to project
- uPerform – not cost effective on more than 1 Application
