Hewlett-Packard using i-qbox for Training Needs Assessments

HP, the world's largest technology company, provides IT products and services that simplify the technology experience for consumers and businesses. HP Education Services is providing international companies with comprehensive training services mostly in connection with the rollout of new HP hardware.

In order to optimally prepare such trainings HP and Comartis are working together in the area of detailed online Training Needs Assessments (TNA).

Using the i-qbox Assessment Module the participants respond online to create a self-assessment of the required skills. Based on appropriate reports HP then calculates a Gap-Analysis to maximize the impact of the training. The new solution was very appreciated both internally and by HP clients.

A growing number of such online TNAs based on the i-qbox Assessment Module are currently performed in Europe, the US and the Middle East with plans to further extend the service to Asia Pacific in the near future as well. 

Comartis is very pleased to be chosen by Hewlett-Packard to help with this challenge. As CEO Omar Lahyani states: "To have HP as a new client emphasizes again the quality and competitiveness of our solution. From this co-operation we are hoping to gain significant impulses for the North American, Middle East and Asia Pacific markets where Comartis has subsidiaries and several operative installations.

Koller GmbH uses the Comartis i-bizbox
for its Digital WareHouse (DWH) Online Service

As official partner of the swiss national health insurances, Franz Koller Heim- und Spitalbedarf GmbH supports public health organisations and home care services with specialized products and advice, and a high-capacity client service.

In addition to simply providing the goods, the modern corporate supplier is required to deliver full after-sales support. Many technologically advanced items require very specific know-how and a great deal of experience with maintenance and repairs.

Thanks to the Comartis i-bizbox, the Koller Admin-Team can quickly and efficiently process each service request. Unlimited access to the DWH and the item service history allows the team to rapidly formulate, execute and then document the appropriate response.

Admin-Team members have access to the following information to effortlessly provide warranty support:

• Supplier
• Products (description, price, image)
• Product news
• Homepage news
• Product lines
• Product categories

In addition, the i-bizbox makes it possible to export all Supplier and Product information, for follow-up processing in MS-Excel or other third-party software.

Using Excel as i-qbox Report-Designer:
Define layout, look & feel, and custom texts yourself!

Reporting requirements can vary from user to user. Everyone values layout, column formatting and content very differently, and even the choice of complementary images and diagrams is entirely at the mercy of personal preference and habit. More often than not, MS Excel is the software of choice for data processing, and is heavily customised by each user.

Don't you wish you could...

• define and adapt your i-qbox report templates directly in Excel?
• include formulas and graphics of your own choosing?
• respond quickly to the new requirements and layout-requests of management?

Well, wish no more! Comartis has included all these capabilities in the new SmartFeature of the current version of the i-qbox Human Performance Suite. You now have the freedom to tailor the presentation of reports to your corporate layout, all in the familiar and powerful Excel environment.

Of course the content of each report is still restricted to only the data which the user creating the report has access rights to. This prevents access of unauthorized information.

In this way the SmartFeature allows each person linked to the i-qbox to quickly and simply create their very own customised "in-house" reports.

Comartis way - the Excel(lent) way!
