Baker Hostetler Partners with Traveling Coaches for Office 2010 Rollout
January 11, 2011, DALLAS, TX - Traveling Coaches, the nationally recognized training, application integration and user adoption consulting partner to law firms, announced that Baker Hostetler has selected the company as its training and support partner for the law firm’s rollout of Office 2010.
Baker Hostetler is committed to providing the firm’s user community with best in class education and support before, during and after the deployment of Office 2010. This partnership with Traveling Coaches equips the law firm with outside expertise in educating and preparing IT support staff team members, training and supporting users and building and executing an overall communication and user adoption plan for a successful Office 2010 rollout.
“We are excited about our partnership with Traveling Coaches and our collaboration on our Office 2010 project. This is an important upgrade for our Firm and we believe our teams working together will ensure that we provide a stellar training and support program for our lawyers and staff.” Anne Palmer, Senior Manager User Services.
The project team, composed of members from Traveling Coaches and Baker Hostetler, will leverage materials and best practices from the Traveling Coaches’ renowned Office 2010 Rollout Kit. The Office 2010 Rollout Kit is a collection of communications, project marketing, e-learning, classroom and floor support tools which are legal-specific and delivered in soft copy for easy customization by law firms. While the project team will customize the materials and communication pieces to fit the specifics of Baker Hostetler’s project, the law firm will avoid the cost and time associated with developing these tools from scratch.
“Our experience with hundreds of firms is that complete
adoption of Microsoft Office 2010 requires a comprehensive communication and
education strategy including myriad ‘learning moments’ to accommodate the
various roles and learning styles in a law firm,” said Charlene LeMaire,
co-founder and Chief Learning Officer for Traveling Coaches. “Our Office
Rollout Kits are the distillation of our proven best practices delivered in
a format law firms can immediately implement to ensure success.”
