3 Events That Can Boost Your Brand Internally

It’s a new year! And that means it’s the perfect time to set new company goals for your internal teams – whether it’s to launch new products, energize your employees, or generate brand awareness within various departments.

From an events industry perspective with over 19 years of event planning experience, Miller Tanner offers three innovative ways to boost your company’s brand internally. Get the new year started in the right direction and accomplish those 2017 goals by implementing a strategy that includes one of these types of corporate events:

3 Events That Can Boost Your Brand Internally

Global Sales Meetings
Product Launch
President’s Club/Incentive Travel

Global Sales Meetings

What is it? A Global Sales Meeting is an excellent opportunity for a corporation to gather their business development teams from across the world in one location to kick off the year.

Benefits: This type of meeting provides the opportunity to share updates from the executives, discuss overall strategy and team goals, participate in training, create bonds over team building activities, inspire through guest speakers, and give recognition through awards ceremonies. The possibilities and benefits are endless, and these meetings provide a great platform for a team’s success.

How an event planner can help: MTA’s Global Events Team can be involved in every step of the way and in every detail starting with selecting the location, creating a theme, choosing specialty gifts, and managing all registration, transportation, accommodations, and special activities. Or we can provide an “à la carte” option tailoring our expertise where it’s most needed. One of the many benefits of hiring a corporate event planner – aside from our vast expertise, we are flexible and can customize our involvement for each client and event to create the best partnership.

Product Launch

What is it? A Product Launch can vary across the board on the type of event and the type of attendees – some might be a celebration and exposure for new customers, while others might be an educational/training launch for sales teams to begin to sell the company’s new product. A product launch provides a great opportunity for your company to educate, strategize and create the best theme and brand representation.

Benefits: Your employees are one of your best assets when it comes to promoting your product. “Each and every one of your employees is a brand ambassador,” according to Burton Goldfield, President, and CEO of TriNet. When you create an emotional connection with your product or brand internally among your employees, they are far more likely to extend that brand enthusiasm and connection outside of your company to your clients and customers. Selling the brand internally can lead to a more successful public product launch.

How an event planner can help: Every detail can make a big impact and an event of this magnitude should be left to the professional planners to make sure it is seamless. MTA loves to have a seat at the table to use our creativity and connections to contribute to the strategy, planning and success.

President’s Club/Incentive Travel

What is it? A President’s Club event rewards top performers within an organization the opportunity to take part in a trip of a lifetime. These incentive trips bring the wow factor! Sometimes this is a trip strictly to celebrate and relax, other times this is an opportunity for winners to talk strategy and best practices with the executives of their organization.

Benefits: Are you wanting to engage and motivate your employees? Do you desire to attract and retain staff? Is your goal to recognize your top performers? Then incentive travel or a President’s Club might just be your ticket. Even studies suggest that incentive travel proves to be an effective way to engage employees. By investing in your top employees, they are happier, more productive, and loyal to your company. In fact, in reference to a recent article by SmartCEO.com, studies not only support increased productivity and sales, brand recognition and larger profits but also team bonding and company loyalty.

How an event planner can help: Depending upon your goals, budget, and desires for the incentive trip, MTA’s proposals team sources the most unique locations and properties for a memorable trip for your team all within your budget. A President’s Club event is a perfect example of where we at MTA can sweat the small stuff so our client can put their focus where needed.

Investing in your internal team can yield a greater ROI for your company. Contact us today to find out how you can increase your brand awareness and brand loyalty among your internal team whether through incentive travel, a global sales meeting, a product launch or any other types of events.

New Year, New Branding at Miller Tanner Associates

Happy New Year! 2017 is off to a fantastic start at Miller Tanner Associates (MTA) and we are looking forward to seeing you and your team at a global event very, very soon! Before we launch into what is new and exciting for the coming year, let’s pause and look back at some of the exciting trends of 2016!

Trend #1 – The Road Less Traveled…

While 2016 certainly had its share of popular event city usage, (hello again – Chicago, Buenos Aires, Frankfurt, Sydney!) the real trend of the year was the road less traveled. By that, we mean all the meeting cities that are less frequently used by the events industry. When was the last time you hosted an event in – Fukuoka, Japan or Siofok, Hungary or Tallinn, Estonia or Taoyuan, Taiwan? These are just a few of the locations, off the beaten path, that our Global Events Team supported for our clients in the past year. With experienced team members located on six continents and fluent in more languages than we can count, there is nowhere in the world we cannot successfully support your global events.

Trend #2 – Professional Development is a MUST…

As competition in the events space continues to rise, from mom & pop operations to behemoth global entities, Miller Tanner Associates strives to find ways to distinguish our unique, boutique brand in the marketplace. One way in which we continue to differentiate ourselves is through our investment in the professional development of our team members. Our goal is to have the largest percentage of Certified Meeting Professionals (CMPs) you can find on any team, anywhere. Since we initiated our ground-breaking program in 2013, we have successfully supported nearly 50% of our Global Service Directors and Global Event Directors in achieving this status with more to come next year! If you haven’t yet, meet our amazing CMPs here.

Trend #3 – Partnership is Vital for Innovation…

While we have always approached our work with clients as a partnership, 2016 ushered in a shift in the depth of those relationships. No longer were the questions centered around cost savings/management or recommendations around the “best” way to approach a global, face-to-face meeting series. Instead, the new questions that emerged were:

If Miller Tanner Associates could design a clinical investigator meeting of the future – what would it look like? What technology would be utilized? Can we gain an industry advantage with our clients/sponsors by offering a new meeting format?
We are struggling internally with a strategy around our commercial sales meetings – if you had to design a commercial event strategy for multiple brand teams, how would you approach it? Do we need to look 12 months out or should we be focused on 36 months?

By investing time in using the expertise of the MTA team, our clients are now able to draw from the best of what we employ across all the industries that we support, as well as partner with them to create the innovation that will lead to greater, successful outcomes for years to come. And of course, we are still saving LOTS of money with our cost savings strategies and management!

Having looked back at 2016, let’s now look to 2017…

Announcing Our Global Events Team

We have some exciting news to share – as of January 1^st, the team formerly known as MTA Global Operations has been officially rebranded as the MTA Global Events Team!

When our doors opened in 1997, we offered one product – Clinical Investigator Meetings. Over the past 19 years, our client service offerings have expanded to include: Virtual and Hybrid Events, Production Services, Audience Response Systems, a Mobile Device Event App, an On-Demand Trainer/Learning Management System (ODT/LMS) and events for commercial teams of all industries. With that expansion, the title of Global Operations has lost its relevancy, as we now “operate” MANY products and services in different divisions of MTA.

Our decision to rebrand as Global Events more accurately reflects the support that we provide to our clients on their live, face-to-face programs – from a 12-person ad board to a complicated incentive trip and every event type in between. “Event” is a universal word that encompasses all that our global team can provide to the clients, programs, and industries that we support.

In honor of this rebranding, you’ll see some of our team members’ job titles shift, for example, our Global Conference Directors will now be Global Event Directors. However, have no fear, we may have new job titles, but you can expect the same world-renowned customer service on each and every event!

We look forward to 2017 being our most successful year yet and to meeting you on the road around the globe…perhaps one less traveled?

Whether it’s a sales meeting, a product launch, or a clinical investigator meeting, let our Global Events Team guide you through a successful event. Contact us today!

The Value of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

The Value of Corporate Responsibility (CSR)

Annually, we survey our Miller Tanner team, and without fail one of the aspects that is most valued among our staff about our company is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). And we think we have a hunch as to why. We, as a company, personally value CSR because it fosters a sense of connectivity among our virtually-based global team members. With our team dispersed across the globe, it’s an important opportunity to not only connect with each other but also with the community at large and the needs around us. It’s become a foundational component of our own Global Workshop and our company culture as a whole.

This week on the blog, we’d like to share our personal CSR experience in an effort to maybe just inspire you or your company to do the same at your next event. Bringing CSR to your global event raises the level of engagement and connection within your team.

Bringing #CSR to your event raises engagement and connection within your team

CSR CapeTown — Classroom at Saartjjie Baartmen Centre

Philanthropy is important to Miller Tanner because our company is comprised of generous, global citizens who value the act of giving. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is all about the people involved, and when Miller Tanner team members are provided the opportunity to give, they do so with joy and positivity. On a daily basis, we inspire and equip each other to provide an excellent product for our clients. Our internal culture is one of authenticity and support focused on team goals and team benefits. We find meaning in expanding this practice outside our company to the global community for the sake of sharing kindness, generosity, and investing in the “good” happening in the world,” shares Carolyn Hendricks, Global Conference Planner, who organized our recent Cape Town CSR initiative.

The following is written by Global Conference Director Melissa Eggert, which describes our CSR opportunity with an organization in Cape Town, South Africa.

Today I was given the incredible opportunity, on behalf of Miller Tanner, to visit the Saartjjie Baartmen Centre just outside of city center in Cape Town, South Africa.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by Shumeeze Johaardien, who has worked at the centre for 10 years. The very first thing you see when you walk into the centre is a mural, painted by several of the women who have graduated from the program. In the mural are several pieces of broken pottery to form the face of a woman, and from her face, painted long strands of hair, each with a sentence about hope and transformation. Shumeeze explained that every woman who walks into the centre believes she is broken, and every woman that walks out has, through the help of others, been made whole again.

Shumeeze gave a tour of the centre, which provides women with a safe haven and a place to rehabilitate from abuse and/or trafficking. The centre reestablishes a sense of worthiness and allows the women to earn a small income through cooking, cleaning and job placement in the community. As she led me around, I witnessed a counseling session, where the women received group therapy. In a room across the hall, an on-site social worker was sorting through paperwork needed for child custody. There was a 24-hour emergency clinic, as the centre accepts women at any time of the day or night in need. The kitchen was a place of hard work – each woman was given their independence and allowed to cook and prepare meals for their families as well as each other.

At the back of the centre was the daycare, a full service provided by the centre so that women could work and have a safe place to leave their children. Dilshaad Esau, the children’s teacher, explained that her job requires all of her – that she spends her life dedicated to the healing of these children, who by way of their mothers, are also traumatized and abused. Dilshaad was incredible with the kids – she has the perfect balance of tenderness and discipline that allows the kids to trust her and regain a sense of security and stability.

I had the chance to speak with one of the “graduates” of the program, who now works with the centre full time, and her words were that the centre was a gift from God – that God allowed her this safe place to recover and restart her life. She believes Saartjie Baartman is the best centre in South Africa with the most resources and a well-trusted program that truly does set women back on their feet.

Your donations of school supplies were delivered straight into tiny hands, and Dilshaad was delighted over all of the items. Thank you to each of you for contributing and for pioneering this path for our company and setting up the donations and visit. It gave me and, I hope all of you, so much inspiration about how we can connect with women in need throughout the world. It is a unique opportunity that we have to travel and impact so many people globally – and sometimes it starts with the smallest, most humble offerings like school supplies in a suitcase.

Miller Tanner has experienced enormous benefits from CSR opportunities within our company and at our annual Global Workshop. We’ve seen first-hand how it transforms our team, and we believe that it is a great option for companies desiring to bring more connectivity to their events and meetings. Would you like to incorporate a CSR opportunity within your company’s event? We’d be happy to lend a hand. Contact us today.

Creating Meeting Experiences: Team Building

Creating Meeting Experiences With Team Building

Planning a meeting is one thing. Planning a memorable meeting experience is another. The difference is — personalizing it.

That’s what Marnie Battistini, CEO of Miller Tanner Associates believes. “You create a memorable meeting experience by connecting with people. Personalizing it. If you are going to spend money to bring your team together, then maximize that investment by making it a memorable experience.”

In this series on our blog, we will explore dynamic ingredients, that we deem the secret sauce, for creating not just a meeting, but a memorable meeting experience that will have a significant, positive impact on your attendees and your entire group long after the actual face-to-face meeting.

Top Technology Trends in Meetings

As Director of Global Business Innovation, my role is to ensure Miller Tanner is always on the forefront of technology by introducing new ideas, workflows, methodologies, services and products all while maintaining the highest level of security for our clients’ intellectual property.

Global Business Innovation encompasses every department and aspect of Miller Tanner’s business model. An example of our latest technological advancement is implementing an UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) system so our clients and vendors can reach us anytime, anywhere on any device. The system encompasses telephone, text, instant messaging and video collaboration.

How Technology Has Transformed Medical Meetings

Advances in technology have benefited the bio-tech and pharma meeting process by making it more efficient for all involved. Gone are the days of receiving a faxed registration form, completing it and faxing it back. With Miller Tanner’s proprietary registration program, attendees register electronically, which is a huge timesaver and increases attendance. Our overall technology advancements have streamlined both the face-to-face and virtual meeting process by providing substantial return on investment in both time and cost savings benefits to our clients and attendees.

Miller Tanner created a new division in the fall of 2014 called Software Development. Our new in-house Software Development Team allows us to offer our clients a much more streamlined and secure system for event management. To date, our Software Development Team has developed a customized proprietary software program for event registration, mobile access, on-demand training and most recently, a learning management system.

Miller Tanner’s On Demand Trainer/Learning Management System, our newest service, combines repurposing the training sessions provided by our clients at face-to-face and virtual meetings with learning management features such as e-signatures and electronic training reports. Miller Tanner’s On Demand Trainer/Learning Management System was developed to support the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for e-signatures, electronic records and security. The system provides 24/7/365 customizable reporting for our clients.

For the end user, the On Demand Trainer/Learning Management System allows online 24/7/365 access to the training materials and media with options that include: ask the presenter questions; resetting assessment questions if the end user does not meet the client requirements of passing score; and printing their personal electronic training records (when they have met the criteria set by the client). Another service we included in 2015 was to provide the event attendee with the ability to request reimbursements for incidentals through a secure and electronic format.

MTA is fearless when it comes to trying new technology and we love to implement innovations that are efficient, cost-effective and, most importantly, create the highest level of customer satisfaction by leveraging ease of use.

Technology Must-Haves for Every Meeting

Every meeting should have the following technology tools to be successful:

Mobility:

The ability to access a meeting either in person or virtually from any device at any time anywhere will increase overall attendance and thus profitability. The traditional mobile workplace is more than just your home office. It’s anywhere you are.

Audience Engagement:

Making an event engaging has a positive effect on attendees’ motivation levels, determining what they learn and how much information they will retain. MTA’ s Mobile Web Site is a great example of features every event should include. We offer chat among attendees, ARS (Audience Response System), team-building and networking games.

Personalized Experience:

We all like to feel special. An easy way to accomplish this goal is to personalize the meeting experience and offer the very highest level of customer service. It can be something as simple as greeting a person by their name upon initial check-in having never met them before or presenting them with a customized amenity gift. By making an event a personalized experience, you will have a much higher customer satisfaction resulting in attendee retention and engagement by increasing conversations.

Real Time Data:

Receiving instant feedback will reveal how attendees are feeling while they’re in-session, or on-site. Attendees are much more likely to respond while still engaged at the event rather than filling out a survey later. Speaker evaluations, live polling, and event surveys help you know what’s working and what isn’t, so you are equipped with as much information as possible when planning the next event.

Miller Tanner Associates has always prided ourselves on offering the ultimate in customer service, the latest in technology and paramount security all while maintaining an excellent return on investment for our customers.

Interested in exploring the latest and greatest technology trends at your next meeting? We can help you choose the technology capabilities that best fit your meeting’s needs.

How We Keep Your Meeting Data Secure

Today on our blog, we take a look at data security, primarily as it relates to your meetings. Ensuring that your sensitive data is secure at every meeting is our top priority. We take no chances.

We recently interviewed our own Miller Tanner expert, Daniel Conroy, Director of Technology Services, who offers his insights and advice on the topic and further explains the methods that Miller Tanner employs to ensure the security and protection of your meeting’s information.

What steps does Miller Tanner Associates take to ensure data is secure?

It all starts with our classification of data. We treat all data, whether created internally or received from a client or vendor, as sensitive. Sensitive in the data security sense means that if this information were to be compromised or publicly released such an event could negatively affect either Miller Tanner or our client/vendor. That information security awareness helps our staff better understand why the measures we insist on are important as well as how they might proceed if presented a challenge we didn’t consider.

More tactically, we have several procedures in place to protect our data in transit and at rest. All of our mobile devices are encrypted and we own our gear. This means we aren’t renting hardware so we can control what information goes on and what information comes off. Furthermore, we wipe (securely remove data) all ‘show’ laptops after a meeting to ensure we didn’t miss anything.

What types of data specifically are we most concerned about keeping secure?

All of it. If you make information security part of your corporate DNA it is much easier to protect than trying to decide if this or that document, video, etc. meets the security standard. If I had to pick between client data or internal data, however, I’d always say client first. Our clients are the reason we are in business and we never want to forget that.

Does Miller Tanner provide any security measures that are uniquely different?

The fact that we own and operate our own equipment is a big differentiator. Miller Tanner Associates has invested significant financial resources to ensure that we can control both the hardware and data on our gear. Laptop rentals are great, but what happens to those files once the rental company gets their gear back? The answer is no one can be sure, even if the files on that laptop were deleted. I know our devices are encrypted against lost or unauthorized access, but also we securely wipe any machines used in a meeting once the meeting is over.

How should our clients prepare in terms of security of their data?

Prepare for a meeting or prepare their organization to be more secure? If it is for a meeting, there is really little in terms of preparation. We offer access to a trusted third-party email encryption service for our clients so that they can securely share their data with us from the start. As you might imagine we have other secure methods of data transfer should they need that as well.

If you are talking organizational security, I think the first line of defense is preparedness. Preparedness for information security comes in the form of education and training. One of the most prominent attack vectors today is phishing. Organizations need to educate people about phishing, how to spot phishing attempts, and what to do once they are presented with it.

Is there anything else that you’d like to add that you feel is important in regards to data security?

If I can climb onto my digital soapbox for just a moment, I’d like to make a Public Service Announcement for two-factor authentication. To quote the 2016 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, “Passwords are great – kinda like salt. Wonderful as an addition to something else, but you wouldn’t want to consume it on its own”. Simply put, no matter how good a password you have, use a second means of authentication whenever you can.

Think of two-factor authentication as similar to getting money from the ATM. You need your card AND to know your account PIN. If you don’t have both you don’t get any money. Two-factor password authentication works the same way. You need your username, password, and a one time passcode that can be sent via a text (or similar).

Many popular tools like Gmail, Yahoo and Facebook already offer this feature. Once you enable two-factor (or multi-factor) authentication on your account a lost password or even security breach at the company is less damaging. The attacker may have your password, but they don’t have that second factor which means they can’t access your account. And lastly, consider using a different password for all services and use a password manager to keep them straight.

Training Consistency Through On-Demand Learning

Consistency in training is paramount for all companies no matter what industry. However, as professional meeting planners, we know all too well the challenges that many companies face with ensuring that their meeting updates, discussion, and protocols are accurately communicated throughout their organization. It can feel like an endless cycle of inconsistencies. The good news is that you can stop the endless cycle with one easy solution using on-demand training with VALTs, Virtual Assessment Learning and Training Source.

What’s On-Demand Training?

On-demand training is simply a virtual, online training that is ready to be taken at the time an individual or team is ready to take it. Within VALTs, a catalog can be designed to include a specific set of training materials that provide consistent training to all of your participants. VALTs has many features that enhance training capabilities. The ways companies can use on-demand training are virtually endless. Our primary uses have included:

Common Uses of On-Demand Training with VALTs

Repurpose face-to-face meetings – As staff attrition occurs, the newly assigned team member can review exactly the same training as the predecessor.
Deploy urgent protocol amendments and study updates – This is especially valuable to bio-pharma, medical device and contract research organizations. Time-sensitive information can be deployed quickly and attendance and viewing can also be rigorously tracked and monitored.
Use as a pre-trainer – On-demand training can be used to facilitate learning before an attendee comes to a face-to-face event, shrinking the onsite agenda, potentially reducing the number of room nights required for a face-to-face event.
Use as refresher courses – This serves as another option for accuracy and consistency in continued learning.

[Tweet “The ways companies can use on-demand training are virtually endless.”]

3 Benefits of Using VALTs

Everyone who is invited to the catalog hears the exact same message.
There is no dilution or 2^nd party interpretation.
Your message is consistently communicated to all participants.

How It Works

There are times when a client has an event and some attendees (or even speakers) cannot attend in person. As a result, they need another method of providing training for those people. Or in other cases, we have clients who use the catalog as training for their entire organization, so all of the standard operating procedures are viewed as needed for newly hired staff.

To accommodate for these types of training needs, the content for the training catalog can be readily captured onsite at a face-to-face event or remotely from anywhere around the world.

Just about any type of content can be included in a training catalog. Video files, audio files, Word, Excel, Powerpoint presentations and more can all be housed in the reference material section of VALTs to supplement the recorded presentations in a catalog.

Once the catalog is created, an attendee can be sent a secure link with unique credentials to access the desired training.

Unique Capabilities and Features

Catalog viewing is trackable per attendee and we have robust reporting capabilities to ascertain who is compliant with taking the training.
Assessment question modules can be built into VALTs to gauge a viewer’s understanding of materials presented.
For urgent protocol amendments and study updates, our system supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for e-signatures and electronic records.
Additionally, we have a unique feature that allows the attendee to ask the presenter a question. The question goes to the presenter’s (or designee) email, and can then be responded to directly via email chain.

Our process ensures consistency of training across the board to all team members throughout an organization. VALTs is an ideal solution to mitigate staff attrition, as well as train new staff members.

Lead time for creating a training catalog

It is beneficial for our team to have a few weeks advanced notice that you would like the content capture to take place. This allows us to work with your team to create your branded website and discuss all of the elements that you would like to be included in VALTs. Once the content has been captured and provided to our team, it usually takes between 5-10 business days to produce the catalog and open for review and training.

Does your organization need more training consistency?

Roughly 25% of our clients are currently using our proprietary on-demand trainer, VALTs. It eases the hassle of tracking training across an organization, as well as the associated versioning of required training documents. We would welcome the opportunity to demonstrate it to anyone who has a need for a documented training plan.

7 Powerful Ways On-Demand Training Maximizes Your Meetings

The content of your training meetings is incredibly valuable.

You spend a lot of time putting it together to give your team members all the information they need in the most memorable and accessible way possible.

Why not capture that content for continued future use both internally and externally?

Miller Tanner’s On-Demand Training is a convenient and affordable online solution that gives you and your team anywhere, anytime access to valuable training content.

With 24/7 access to your training, individuals can get the same great learning experience as meeting attendees but on their own timeline.

How On-Demand Training Benefits Your Organization

Here are some of the key benefits of On-Demand Training:

1. Deliver Your Message Intact

The top benefit of On-Demand Training is the ability to capture the exact content, message, and training from any meeting whether it’s face-to-face, virtual, or hybrid.

You have an exact replica of the training YOU provided, not a diluted reasonable facsimile.

Your Subject Matter Experts are the ones talking to your audience.

Who better to convey your enthusiastic study message and in-depth knowledge of your product and protocol?

2. Provide Greater Flexibility & Accessibility

Time is money. Your teams are located all around the world. They have “day jobs” to perform.

On-Demand Training allows your teams to review your content and messages online through a secure link at the times that are advantageous to them.

While training meetings and visits are being scheduled, the team member can receive and review the materials you presented via a secure website to better prepare themselves for additional training needs.

3. Enhance Knowledge Retention

With On-Demand Training, you can include assessment questions to determine if the user has been able to understand the content or principle key elements presented.

You can predetermine a passing threshold. If the user does not meet the passing score threshold, you have the option to require the user to reset/retake the training in order to ensure content understanding.

Reference materials can also be provided for the user giving them the ability to re-review presentations for key messages in the future.

4. Increase the Value of Your Meeting Content

The cost of On-Demand Training is nominal compared to the value of being able to provide the same exact content to all parties, involved around the world, in their native language.

A good On-Demand Training system will also provide you with the ability to update, adjust, or add to your content as needed throughout the life of your hosting.

For example, at Miller Tanner, we can host your training materials in a secure manner, adding updated information in real-time for your teams to review, for multiple years.

Our system can also assign presentations and assessments to individual team members based on their role in the company or for the study specifically.

5. Support Training Requirements & Regulations

With On-Demand Training, you can meet any necessary training regulations.

At Miller Tanner, our On-Demand Training system was developed to support 21 CFR Part 11 requirements such as trustworthy e-signature and reliable electronic records with associated audit trails. This is an important differentiator for our pharmaceutical clients.

6. Deploy Content in Different Formats

Meeting content can be deployed through On-Demand Training in either an audio or audio-video format.

You need to have the proper technical setup and professionals to effectively capture the audio and/or video from your meetings for use in your On-Demand Training.

Once the meeting content has been captured, you can optimize the files so that there is synchronization between the slides and verbiage.

At Miller Tanner, we can provide our clients with both audio and video capture capabilities.

7. Extend Your Reach

As human beings, we continue to enjoy face-to-face, hybrid and virtual interactions with colleagues and peers. Those remain the most personal and effective ways to interact.

But On-Demand Training provides a great way to support those training efforts and reach people who were not able to attend a meeting or have been newly assigned to a project or investigational site team.

It’s always challenging for clients or sites to add new team members midway through a study and ensure consistency in training.

On-Demand Training gives your new team members the benefit of hearing your voice and message, verbatim, as part of their onboarding training.

Discover a Better System for Providing On-Demand Training

At Miller Tanner, we provide our clients access to our On-Demand Trainer/ Learning Management System so they can get more out of their training meetings.

The value of our On-Demand Trainer/Learning Management System goes beyond generic on-demand trainers (ODTs).

We have developed our system to support training efforts with e-signatures and electronic records compliant with 21 CRF part 11 regulations to help reduce the burden of documenting training in real-time with a global reach.

Through our robust Client Dashboard, you can monitor training completions, produce electronic training records for your files, as well as review and grant access requests with confidence of system security and full audit trails.
