The Gap Still Exists Thinking about Microsoft Office in general, what, if any, are the biggest areas of pain or frustration you have? • We have great data around what the pain points are over time and it’s not physical deployment • Technical know how for Office is good but knowledge of resources to ease pain is low • Tend to underestimate importance of the basics like End User Readiness

TRAINING • Most likely post-implementation review item identified as single greatest determinant of success?............ TRAINING *Gartner 2001
LCBO – Challenge #2 Current LMS Length of video Distractedby websites Forget user name/ password Leave Application Looking for Answers
LCBO – Challenge #3 The Ribbon On average, only 13% of desktop software features are used. - IDC, 2001 From introduction of Word 1.0 to Word 2003, functionality increased from 50 to 300 menu items and from 100 to 1,500 commands. - Microsoft, 2007 Customers submit feature requests for Office 2003, 80% of which are already in the product. - Microsoft, 2003-2006 Office applications overhaul UI and introduce a Ribbon. - Microsoft, 2007-2010 Longevity is confused with familiarity
LCBO – Challenge #4 Help Desk Burden • Analyzing the burden (SAMPLE: 1,000 person org) • The average help desk analyst, serving 1,000 end-users, receives 471 help desk calls per month.* • The average percent of low-levelend-user calls is 25%** • The average cost of each low-level end-user call is $20** • Each year, low-level end-user calls cost this organization roughly $28,260 per help desk analyst. • With as little as a 20% reduction in low-level end-user calls, this organization of 1,000 users would see an annual savings of $5,652 per help desk analyst. * Gartner 8.2009 – ID#G00170174, ** Gartner 2.2010 – ID#G00173790
