The full program All those things your employees need to know –
and all those skills they require to successfully
perform their work duties – are changing at an
astonishingly fast pace. This means that they
contin- ually have to learn just to keep up. But
help is at hand in the form of tt performance
suite, allowing you to optimally support them
every step of the way. After all, our software
package comes equipped with tools for the two
learning strat- egies which are so crucial to
corporate skills acquisition programs:
• formal learning within the frame- work of
traditional training, e-learning or courses,
along with
• application-oriented or on-the-job learning
at precisely the moment when a problem or
knowledge gap arises – i.e. at the "moment
of need".

quality. But that's not all: It also supports a huge
range of formats such as click helps or web-
based training. The resulting
documents are not only available to

Twin-pack performance While both components in tt performance suite can
be implemented separately, you obviously get more
"bang for your IT buck" when used together. You can
choose between the Quickstart Edition or the
Professional Edition.

cascade for over 3,000 sales partners. The new training can be accessed everywhere –
which is not only hugely time-saving, but also means that our agents

This component is primarily geared toward the production of content for the formal learning scenario (Learning Content Management System). The software is designed to support every phase of your project – from the planning and design phase right up to the publication of all training content – with clearly structured steps and various automated processes.
Learning Content Management System
Software solutions dedicated to the storage and maintenance of learning content are known as Learning Content Management Systems. They encompass everything from the creation and sav- ing of learning content, including subsequent reuse, right up to the automated display of training material.
User support takes center stage with this com- ponent. With tt guide at their side, your employees can access specially tailored support whenever the need arises. All this directly at their workstation, and instantly.
Performance Support
Performance Support provides comprehensive assistance which is available to employees directly from their workstation. It can come in the form of software or a different resource (e.g. printed or technical) which is made available exactly at the moment of need and offers just the right amount of workplace support and assistance to ensure that the user's current task can be completed successfully.

The perfect combination for successful learning Both forms of learning – formal learning and
Performance Support – have their own
strengths and weaknesses. In the case of
formal learning, knowledge is conveyed in a
structured and systematic man- ner. Alas, it is
safe to assume that course participants will
have forgotten over half of what they learned
one hour after training. And they'll only have
retained a third of their new-found knowledge
by the next day (cf. Curve 1). Knowledge is
retained (or rekindled) only in cases where the
new information is immediately applied.
Application-oriented, on-the-job learn- ing via
Performance Support alone is ideal for
ensuring that a solution to the problem is
quickly found. But these solutions usually don't
explain the bigger picture, meaning that users'
general understanding
of the overall context is rarely boosted by such measures.
The greatest learning success can be achieved by combining formal learning and Performance Support (cf. Curve 2) – a
strategy which more and more companies now
pursue.

Content creation made easy
tt performance suite | Overview | tt knowledge force | tt guide | Highlights 14/30
tts knowledge matters. www.tt-s.com
IT documentation with maximum ease In the IT environment, documentation is created
via a recording – for applications involving ERP
systems, MS Office or CRM software, for
example. When recording with tt knowledge
force, it doesn't matter in the slightest whether
the application was manufactured by SAP,
Microsoft, Sales- force or other providers.
One recording session is all you need to create
the various learning media. While your subject
matter experts perform a particular procedure,
tt knowledge force automatically and
simultaneously generates various formats from
the recording (single sourcing). Depending on
your license type, this content can then be im-
mediately accessed in different formats as
web-based training, IT documentation or a
step-by-step list.
And you can choose between various out- put
formats, such as Word, PDF or HTML. Needless
to say, the resulting documents will feature your
company's very own corporate design, without
any additional effort on your part. This further

content.
From local to global A huge advantage for companies who operate
internationally: The automatic re-recording
function is a big help when it comes to
translating material into different languages.
You can use the original document
to re-record processes in another
language's user interface. All
enhancements of the original
document are retained. This makes
light work of translation into
different languages. And should
something subsequently change,
the version comparison makes it
really easy to identify the resulting
training deficit.

The world beyond IT But what about situations where you want to
create training material that has absolutely
nothing to do with IT? No prob- lem. Being the
ultimate in professional authoring software, tt
knowledge force can also support you in creating
webbased training with different content, such as
compliance or soft skills.
The templates provided, along with role- based
revision and release workflows, ensure consistency
and across-the-board quality.

Authors will quickly get the hang of tt knowledge
force thanks to its highly intuitive user interface.
Its design and layout are inspired by MS Office,
making it much easier for users to find their
bearings. The functions are sorted and arranged
in accordance with their frequency of use,
thereby ensuring optimal ergonomics.
The software's "What you see is what you get"
principle is an extremely practical feature, as
this gives the author a preview during the actual
creation process of how the learners will
subsequently be guided through the training.
tt knowledge force also comes with two fully
integrated text-to-speech tools brought to you
by the cloud systems from Acapela and
ReadSpeaker. Content can be preselected for
users based on their function – or "role" –
within the com- pany and made available in a
targeted manner. This means that they only
have to deal with content that is actually
relevant to their needs.
"Creating the learning modules was a quick and flexible
procedure thanks to
tt knowledge force. This meant that we were able to train the employees of several
of our clients simultaneously, instead of one after the other as was the case with
the old train-the-trainers method. Our new "Horizon" load planning software was therefore
able to go live exceptionally fast.
And that's not all: We can now apply the solution to all future "Horizon" applications."

Help in all its variations
Depending on the nature of the information
requirement, employees can choose between
simple field helps, innovative step lists (guides),
self-learning material, process flows or detailed
information. The vari- ous Help categories on
offer, also known as Performance Support
Categories, can be individually created and
assigned in accordance with the client's needs.
"Prior to the implementation of tt performance suite, it took 10 to 15 minutes to get an answer to a single query regarding
a business process. But nowadays it only takes a minute."

ized support. This is possible due to the fact that all content has been tailored in advance to match the employee's respective
function, or role, within the com- pany. Not only that, but content is also linked to the business applications (the all- important
context) that are relevant to their position. As a general rule of thumb, help should become available after a maximum of two clicks
and 10 seconds.

Content at the touch of a button The Guide Creator in tt guide is an easy-to-use tool
for the recording of new guides. Its user interface
features all essential functions and can be operated
intuitively. This makes it not just ideal for authors,
but also for other colleagues eager to record
content – which can come in very handy, such as
during the handover process when an employee is
about to head off on vacation. User- generated
content can therefore become reality (optional).
Once transactions have been recorded
by subject matter experts, sensitive
data can (needless to say) be grayed-out prior to
publishing the guide.

Naturally, it is also possible to load and man- age
third-party documents. This makes it extremely
easy for employees to access in- formation on non-
IT procedures (for exam- ple) during their daily
work routine, allowing them to locate such
information quickly and easily with the help of the
tt guide's sug- gest search function. Performance
Support Categories facilitate the optimal grouping
of this type of material according to content, before
making it available to users.
"We opted for tt performance suite due to the fact that it can be perfectly integrated with SAP and because the software covers all our usage scenarios – from testing and user training and documentation, all the way up to real-time Performance Support. We have received excep- tionally positive feedback, both from users and
authors (…), wherever Bekaert does business."
