Some research evidence
Untrained or undertrained desktop users will cost 5x more to support than a well trained worker
Untrained users can take three to six times longer than trained users to complete the same amount of work
A company will lose 10-30% of collective knowledge a year
Example - 46%
of support calls actually addressed training issue - $35 per call
Example - 80% of calls per month addressing user ‘how to’ issues
Fewer than 1 in 8 problems referred to help desk at all
Example - 5 top issues made up
nearly 40% of calls
