Skillaware
In the context of enterprise digitalization, Performance Support is the process that allows companies to maximize their workforce activity by providing users with prompt access to information needed to execute their assigned tasks. This activity aims to make training materials relating to software and business processes available to users in real time.

thanks to Analytics integration
The Skillaware platform has been successfully implemented on Microsoft Dynamics AX, SAP and other important web applications such as WindChill and Salesforce.
It has six components:
Modelling environment through which expert users can:
- Import business processes defined with BPMN standard notation, through Orchestrator or manually, and make them available to users.
- Manage and store Software SOPs (Standard Operational Procedures) in a central and shared repository.
To capture expert users’ experience in executing SOPs. This knowledge is then transferred to new users thanks to the automatic generation and dissemination of technical documentation, multilingual videos, GPS Text-to-Speech software, learning analytics and performance dashboards.
To help users “just in time, just enough”, offering real-time support while using the software. Skillaware guides users step-by-step through the procedures and supplies training materials on the specific SOP.
Where users can access previously generated training content in off-line mode.
Supported by Analytics, this component offers decision makers a clear overview of performances and results achieved.
Allows users to create documents from notes and screenshots originated by other applications. Thanks to Skill Notes, users can capture page portions or select an area of the page of interest, add personalised comments and generate a document in Word or .pdf.
