Rapid distribution of global regional educational training platform through Microsoft Azure Platform

"With Microsoft's Azure platform, it can be quickly built into all regions of the world without worrying about infrastructure and equipment issues, and the scale of business that has not been done in the past can be a big help in translating business models."

Cloud services have become a pipeline that many companies are looking to import in order to strengthen their contacts with customers and improve the quality of their services. However, the construction of cloud services is complex, and the cost of the equipment and infrastructure required to invest is also high, leading many enterprises to transform only the most critical services. I also hope that by cloud services to strengthen the value of enterprise innovation, while providing customers with more innovative application services, but in the foundation is different from other enterprises, using the Windows Azure cloud platform. Not only greatly reduced the need for the construction of human and cost, but also through stable and easy to develop characteristics, the successful transfer of the original products and services to the cloud, but also changed the old mode of operation, become more advanced and flexible service providers.

Business requirements

One-Yu digital since its inception in 2000, has been focused on talent management, education and training and digital learning and other fields, providing customers the best in-house talent training platform and related solutions. Its focus is on platform architecture and education training mechanism, and the course content is supplemented by internal data and external procurement, the main goal is to provide all user-friendly education and training platform, and the Human resources department can assess and manage all human resources and training.

As of 2006, it was found that most of the same systems were being imported at the time of the client import, and only experience was replicated at the time of the import, and the infrastructure and equipment parts were still unavoidable cost expenditures, so the relevant solutions were reviewed. Want to be able to provide more streamlined and lower cost solutions for customer and system maintenance.

"The system itself and the infrastructure platform are certainly necessary, but in education and training and human resources management is more important is the practicality and consultancy services and experience," one-yu digital technology long Wu Gangzhi said, "for customers, each import a system to purchase and build a set of basic environment will only increase investment, for us, Assist customer maintenance and management will also consume a considerable amount of human costs, only to import cloud architecture to solve these most basic and most important issues. 」

Solution

With examples of past services as the core of experience, one-Yu figures that the consultant's ability and experience is the real needs of the project, so the introduction of cloud architecture as a solution platform, to change the role of the service provider to assist customers to import the required projects, can reduce the burden of system and hardware investment, so decided to adopt Windows The Azure platform serves as a core architecture to meet the stability and security and globalization requirements of the cloud architecture.

"The one-digit number was originally developed using Microsoft technology to develop related applications, so importing Windows Azure is not too difficult for a parity figure," Wu Gangzhi says, "and Windows Azure offers a number of platform services in addition to the infrastructure, as compared to other cloud platforms, Can reduce the difficulty of development and maintenance costs. 」

And through the cloud architecture, in addition to users within the enterprise can learn, external distributors or partners can connect the education and training platform, the whole environment to promote the industry chain. At the same time, employees can use mobile phone or tablet computer, through the operation of the app, make full use of trivial time to increase the effectiveness of education and training.

Architecture Stability Benefits development environment

"One-Yu digital education training curriculum is based on the overall learning planning as the main direction, hence the need for a stable and consistent foundation platform," one-woo digital product manager Yang Chihui, "We use the training of radish and stick design, in addition to the required courses in enterprises, we also use the platform to reward competition mechanism to create learning incentives , the user who stimulates the client is willing to learn other elective courses more. "Compulsory part of course, through the customer's human capital management system to promote user learning, and the system can also assess the number of users of the learning State, even through the quality of personnel assessment, etc., to provide appropriate human resources assessment reports." While stimulating users to be more active learners, they need to use a variety of ancillary mechanisms such as real rewards (such as coffee coupons, gift certificates or other prizes) or fractional plot points, which require flexible curriculum design and include game modes such as deadline tasks or set-point activities to stimulate the user.

Under this diverse architecture design, there is a need for flexible process development work that does not affect the operation of major systems. For Wu Gang, the architecture consistency and cloud platform provided by Windows Azure can make program development more smooth, while it can greatly reduce the burden of personnel during the update and maintenance.

"In the past, when we needed to update the main system, our engineering staff needed to help update the client individually," Wu Gangzhi said. "Now you just need to update the cloud system to save quite a lot of time." 」

Cloud architecture facilitates business model change

For the first-line figures, the most important effect of importing cloud architecture is to extend the business to areas previously inaccessible.

"In the past we have been limited to manpower and time, and we are mainly assisting customers in Taiwan, it is not possible to extend the business to further areas," said business manager Wang Shihua, "but after importing the cloud architecture, existing customers can extend education training content to branch offices around the world without being affected by network bandwidth or network architecture. Customers can also easily and easily use tools to design the most suitable for their own courses, so that the interaction of education and training more strong. 」

In addition, Wang Shihua also pointed out that the cloud after the biggest change in the number of one-Yu is in the operating mode. In the past, the need to help customers install systems and build related applications has made it necessary to use direct sales to enhance service delivery. But after importing the cloud architecture, the entire installation process takes only 15 minutes to complete, and after a significant reduction in the build gate, consultants can focus more on assisting clients with customized or curriculum planning, and making the education and training online faster and more accurate. The number of one-yu can also be the operating mode from direct sales to the role of service providers, and commissioned by distributors to expand the market map.

"The biggest advantage of the dealer model is that it can make the business more clear, and the scope of services to extend," Wang Shihua further explained, "through distributors, we can collect more customer suggestions for the system, while accelerating the pace of promotion, so that each update or revision, to meet the customer's main needs, At the same time to learn from the various industrial areas of different experience, to develop a more unique and attractive application services. 」

Before importing the Windows Azure platform, the biggest trouble with the one-Yu figure is that there is not enough human resources to answer for the service needs of many customers; After importing Windows Azure platform, the obsession becomes how to increase the number of reseller partners that can expand the service area together.

"With the help of Windows Azure platform, has successfully let the one-Yu digital solution cloud, so that the overall education and training system maintenance and update more simple and rapid," Wu Gangzhi said, "for customers, the feeling is more convenient to use, richer content, functional diversification, More importantly, the cost is more approachable, can provide more and better content for the staff to learn. 」
