And employees love it83% of users log in 2-3 times a week, which translates into meaningful behavior change that drives the business results.

New Partnership Places AVEVA Ahead of Competitors

Through industry analysis and at the ARC Industry Forum in February 2020, AVEVA carried out research with clients, competitors and analysts. This research further highlighted that its partnership with Axonify is in fact novel, and a key differentiator for AVEVA Unified Learning in industrial operations and manufacturing space, enabling digital transformation and organizational change by improving retention by 90%, engagement by 80%, while measuring the business impact of training compared against KPIs.

The entire process of learning in the industrial surrounding is going through disruptive change, with tools such as AI, AR, and VR playing a key role for a workforce that is both going through a generational transition as well as becoming location independent, stated Craig Resnick, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group. The partnership between Axonify and AVEVA will not only assist to bring these critical training technologies to AVEVA customers, it will also help customers adapt to the new normal caused by disruptions to businesses like the COVID-19 pandemic, where remote training goes hand in hand with the remote workforce who may not have had the advantage of legacy experience of the factory floor and needs being able to remotely monitor, operate and control industrial processes.

AI-enabled Microlearning Adaptive to meet Individual training needs

In education, AI allows trainers to monitor learners as they finish lessons, while simultaneously providing course corrections and suggestions to them when needed. This actively engages them during the learning experience. Real-time learning analytics adapt to the specific learners needs creating a customized training experience. Personalization makes the training efficient and relevantboth a magnet for existing learners and a great tool for attracting new ones.

We are delighted to have entered into this strategic partnership with Axonify, as together we can truly transform the way that global organizations approach the learning lifecycle of their employees, mentioned Amish Sabharwal, Global Head of Engineering, AVEVA. Microlearning shifts training away from one size fits all classes to everyday, easily digestible question-based sessions that can be tailored to meet individual needs based on cognitive science principles. Our research shows that without reinforcement, people typically forget up to 90% of content learned during training within 30 days. AI-enabled microlearning will protect the training investment and make sure that recipients instinctively know all the crucial information when they most need it.

We are excited to be collaborating with AVEVA at a time when industrial organizations are starting to more and more take up digital transformation, stated Christine Tutssel, SVP of Global Sales and Co-Founder, Axonify. Employee knowledge is a foundational element of an organizations digital transformation strategy and the Axonify platform is proven to drive learning retention, knowledge growth and most essentially behavior change in a way that traditional methods cant. We are also able to support the rapid pace of change that todays industrial organizations need as they embark on building out their digital competencies.

AVEVA Unified Learning combines he latest technologies with sound instructional design to deliver competency-based experiential learning, so that operators perform better in less time. This can be deployed on premise, on the AVEVA Cloud, or as a hybrid cloud solution for a complete enterprise-wide, multi-site training solution. This partnership delivers microlearning in concert with simulation, XR, and other tools as part of one integrated framework.
