Migrating Basic Excel Users to Office 2007

[AllyOops]

Hello,

There is a group of 12 people who I need to get migrated to Office 2007. I am pushing for this so that I can deploy some improved functionality at work.

This group ranges in age from late 20s to late 50s with variable and basic Excel Skills (and not good confidence levels). Needless to say I have no training budget so I am thinking about a dedicated PC in the work area where people can make use of the Microsoft online training.


My question is, how should I handle the software migration? Should I encourage them all to jump in the deep end or can I use a staged approach? I have successfully run Office 2003 and 2007 on one laptop in the past - thios seems dangerous for this group.

If you're looking for a staged approach, you should check out Microsoft's Enterprise Learning Framework. It's for IT professionals who plan/coordinate deployment and training. It customizes a document for you with links to everything you'll need for training at office.microsoft.com. I found it extremely helpful in developing my training plan.
