The Wisenet Blog

What's the first word that comes to mind when you think of cloud-based applications?

When our customers were asked to describe Wisenet, the adjective that came up the most often was "reliable." 

With 99.9% uptime and 97% customer support satisfaction, our numbers and adjectives look good on paper, but we took the next step to make it look even better on screen.

It's faster in every case to talk to the server than it is my local hard disk... Carrying around these non-connected computers -- with tons of data and state in them -- is byzantine by comparison.

Steve Jobs spoke about this in 1997 at the Worldwide Developer Conference. His speech also included a vision for bringing the cloud to everyone's personal computer. Sure enough, 19 years later today, all of us probably have adopted cloud computing for both personal and business use.

Or, have we?

The end of inefficiency as we know it is here - scaling up and out no longer requires expensive tools.

Because we take a lot of pride in simplifying critical business processes for training organisations -- so you can go on doing what you love -- we released tons of fab new features that are immediately available upon upgrade.

Too many apps. Too many data sets. Too many teams needing access to the same files.

We've all been there - the hassle of entering data multiple times across multiple systems. Unless your business has upgraded to the cloud, the several thousand character journey is one that countless individuals are forced to make daily. 

But here's some good news: those days are now over if you are using Wisenet & Moodle.

Replace painful manual processes with automation that is as easy as getting your Facebook and Spotify up and in sync.

Our Product team has completed and shipped a brand new series of Moodle connectors that work just like LEGO blocks do. And all you need to know is that this is going to make your job easier and simpler with less risk.

The words "imagination" and "policies" don't always appear in the same sentence, but now there's a way to let them both run free, literally! 

Registered training organisations can finally bid goodbye to tiresome, repetitive, and manual administrative tasks. This new tool -- which could be every registrar's personal butler -- is designed to work and execute sequential tasks just the way you like it.

If you build it, they will come.

While that tip from Field of Dreams has primed countless organisations of various industries for success, it has also left the clueless feeling rather, well, helpless. (Not to mention poorer!)

It's true. A website can be a powerful sales tool for virtually any business. But the harder truth is that most of us don't have the expertise or resources to build an e-commerce website which results in business growth. 

Here's some good news for all registered training organisations: we've built you a new Online Enrolment app to extend your existing web site with a self-service booking engine complete with payment processing - in minutes. 

Focus on marketing your website, not building it. Make your mantra instead "If you invest in the right tools, they will come."

The way you’re feeling about the cloud application(s) you’re using reveals a lot about the vendor, and the resulting feelings highlight what’s missing from the ideal experience.

If you experience negative feelings about an application you use at work, you're not alone. 

App Fatigue has become as common as gum disease - so common, it's a condition that's largely ignored with dis(App)ointment brushed off like houseflies. 

Fact is, diagnosing App Fatigue could be as clinical and straightforward as your next doctor's visit. You'll be happy to know that you're well on your way to prevention and cure.

Here are our tips on diagnosing App Fatigue and how to set yourself up for App Nirvana instead!

If you haven't started your online learning strategy, it's a good idea to start now. 

Online learning is growing at an unprecedented pace, with billions of dollars in revenue earned each year. It's placed universities at the forefront of education marketing, and has become a must-have for drawing candidates.

Despite its obvious benefits and countless facts about online learning, many registered training organisations struggle to kickstart e-learning strategies and incorporate them into their learning relationship management platforms or certified student management systems.

I can't come to work today...

That's probably one of the last statements a boss wants to hear from an employee. 

But it's not always due to illnesses (or laziness) - sometimes our Wisenet team simply can't get to the office for work due to legit reasons like:

• Summertime Sadness, Melbourne (the office's air conditioner was out for 3 weeks)
• Train strikes, Melbourne
• Heavy, biting snow, Queenstown
• Hazardous air pollution, Singapore (due to fires in Indonesia)
• Train breakdowns, Singapore

Yet on all occasions it was Business As Usual for Wisenet across the world -- from Cairns to Las Vegas, the Philippines to Perth, and Singapore to Melbourne -- thanks to our flexible work policies for business operations and good preparation for unforeseen circumstances. Our results speak for themselves.
