When implementing the Training & Events module on a global scale across different countries, there are a number of factors to consider. System security, data conversions, the event catalog structure, billing and correspondence are all areas affected when the module is being rolled in different countries. While there is not one given strategy, organizations have to make certain decisions and will face a number of challenges. This article takes a closer look at these challenges and how to deal with them.
The Business Event Catalog structure
The very first decision that you will have to make is how you are going to organize the business event catalog. This catalog contains all of your courses (business event types) and their respective dates (business events) organized into logical hierarchical groupings (business event groups). This set-up is necessary in order to carry out day-to-day activities such as booking attendees for business events. When implementing T&E at multiple sites who are all going to access the business event catalog on a daily basis, you have to very carefully choose a design that it is easy to use, logical and coherent.
