When VA Loan Guaranty needed a trusted partner to modernize their loan servicing oversight system (VALERI-R), they relied on us to plan, design, develop and deliver 508 compliant, custom curriculum to thousands of servicing partners and over 350 VA employees. In addition to the Virtual Instructor Led training through Adobe Connect, we partnered with the VA’s leadership team to record a series of 10 training modules to ensure new VALERI users had immediate access to critical training. This online training was supplemented with user access to a Salesforce sandbox where users were given hands-on exercises to reinforce the tutorial based training. Finally, we utilized Salesforce Knowledge to create a fully online User Guide which contains hundreds of Knowledge articles for VA and Servicer users. This training was instrumental in successfully releasing VALERI-R to production in 2019.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
A major factor that differentiates Phoenix from other consulting firms is our determination to make sure our clients have the training and learning materials to support their initiatives. It was imperative that we provide the USDA with this knowledge support during its Salesforce Community and Government Cloud implementation. We provided fully customized training curriculum that is now required training for all USDA employees and their loan origination partners. Using Camtasia, we developed 15 Lender and 6 Employee training tutorials which included a knowledge check and certficiate of completion. Each tutorial was closed captioned and fully 508 Accessibility compliant. The training was written, recorded and released in less than 60 days, including client and 508 review. Our ability to deliver large volume, high quality training is a superpower for our training team and we were thrilled to be able to share our passion for learning with the USDA and their partners.

We helped teams put these techniques into practice by creating and following experiments and deep diving into specific topics of facilitation, product management, and Lean-Thinking.
