You have a number of approaches or solutions depending on the companies resources (finanical to be exact)---they are:

- Outsource the training responsibilities to a third party that can brings equipment and trainer to you on-site (most cost effective as you will be charged flat rate regardless of audience size).
- Send workforce offsite to a learning center or local community college better equipped with larger labs, more equipment & trainers versed in the subject matter (less cost effective as they charge by the person).

Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,

Our organization is currently using Office 2003 standard but is looking to upgrade to 2007 within the next year.

We have about 500, generally novice, office users that would need to be brought up to speed on the new system. Regarding available resources, I am the only tech trainer and we have one computer lab with 12 systems.

I'm curious to know your opinions regarding ways to approach this process... As you can see, I'm stretched pretty thin as is, and this seems like a daunting process. Any ideas/suggestions/similar experiences/etc.?

Thanks in advance!
-Ed

As a student who regularly uses Microsoft Office 2003 I know the challenge of transitioning to Microsoft 2007 due to the different features and interface it has.

Here's a good source for training products

www.trainingtime.com

I also found a training software that should help employees learn the core skills of Microsoft Office 2007.

Ed -

We are also transitioning to Office 2007 at some point this year. We have about 800 employees spread across 10 offices. One thing we are considering (in addition to using some Webinar training and providing links to existing e-Learning modules like those on Microsoft's site) is identifying super users within the different offices and departments who will be integral in the roll out of training and in ongoing support. Plus, they have a better perspective of the needs based on office and/or department.
