As part of an update of corporate portal and transition to SharePoint Server 2013 (see profile Telecom.Enterprise-Portal.Services-Branding), the Customer has planned to automate some of his internal business services on the SharePoint base.

In particular, the HRM-module for internal employee training became one of these services. The module provides users with a set of training from internal and external service providers. As part of the service, an employee can enroll himself/herself and send a request for the passage of courses available to him/her, plan a calendar of his/her own training, complete trainings and assess them, etc.

The main functionality of this service consists of:
─ Management of the training directory and calendar;
─ Records for training by the company’s employees and planning personal training calendar;
─ Coach of the company: conducting training;
─ Employee: passing training;
─ Employee: assessing training;
─ Coach: assessing an employee;
─ Viewing training history and information of its passing by specific employees;
─ Creating and viewing reports on training.

The customization of the user’s interface in compliance with the common corporate identity and Brandbook of the company was a separate task of development.

The works as part of the module design consisted of three main stages:
─ Analysis and description of processes of the administration and management of the staff training calendar;
─ Development of the graphic design of the service and models for its main forms;
─ Development of the service of a working prototype based on MS SharePoint 2013.

For the development and coordination of solutions, models and prototype of the main forms of the service were developed (see screenshot below):

• The Training section in the portal: eLearning, training and selected articles;
• Company’s trainings in the form of a list;
• Presentation of trainings on the calendar;
• User’s trainings (upcoming and completed);
• Training module administration.

Our developers successfully completed the task of functional and UI implementation of HRM Trainings module. Pilot system went live with around 20 different training courses uploaded at the start. The intention is to extend it up to 200 corporate courses with ~500 employees and 15-20 trainers to be engaged into daily e-learning routine.
