Docebo Learning Management System (LMS) is now part of this widely recognised universe since a Joomla user can easily add a Docebo plugin to his/her own website.
Why Docebo
Why add a Docebo plugin to a Joomla website?: To transform your website into a learning environment in order to achieve new business results/ goals.
Docebo is a complete suite for distance learning that serves different industries. Nowadays ‘training’ is a core activity for a wide range of companies and is becoming more and more an added value service to win in an increasingly competitive market. Using Docebo it’s possible to train employees, partners, resellers, sub-contractors and last but not least, customers. Training is applicable at all phases of the selling cycle – before-sales in order to stress the value of the product/ service, after-sales in order to help people use products or services correctly, and during, as support.
The growing demand for information
Companies invest a lot in creating online services that address the growing demand for detailed information about products, services and procedures. And they also invest a lot in building an integrated environment for all that information and training services. But even when the results are acceptable and a powerful knowledge base has been built, the quality of services may still be low. Why? Two different reasons: because people are not recognized for the effort they spend training themselves, and because the training experience is boring.
In order to ensure users are satisfied, training should be done within a training environment and the training process has to be “professional” – meaning tracked, recognized and certified.
Winning companies know all of this, and that is why they spend a lot promoting certified training programs to their networks (resellers, subcontractors, trainers and customers).
You can read the Docebo-Autodesk case study, to see an example of a professional training service and the value it brings a business.
Why you need an online training environment
A training environment is designed to ensure good training results – that means fast delivery of training materials, avoiding a quick drop-out rate, maintaining a high attention level and ensuring 100% attendance. Docebo offers a wide range of training tools that companies can use to build their own effective training environments. These tools include: a tool for asynchronous distance learning, tool for live webinar, tools for social learning, tool for gamification and even a tool for blended learning. By leveraging the right mix of tools companies can create a professional training environment. But more than that, Docebo also ensures that all the time spent in training will be rewarded. Users need certification for their training activity even if it is voluntary and not driven by the company. A certificate is not just a piece of paper for your CV, a certificate shows competencies, results, talent, future development/ direction etc.
Imagine that you have a powerful e-commerce website built with Joomla and that your customers start asking not only for assistance but also for more and more detailed information and guidance on the product and services. The higher the level of your products, the more specific questions will be. In order to ensure a professional response to this demand for information/ training, your Joomla website needs a powerful plugin such as Docebo. Using our plugin you will be able to integrate the two systems and ensure that your customers will easily access (through single-sign-on) your training resources. You can also give a “preview” of the online courses within your website to promote them!
