CGS conducted pilots of Teamwork AR with Fortune 100 companies that have implemented it to further employee training, sales enablement and field services support. Early users are seeing increases in sales performance and effectiveness and a 49 percent increase in time-to-productivity.
“Today more than ever, organizations need to empower their global workforce whether in the office, store or remotely in the field,” said Doug Stephen, president, Learning division of CGS. “Not only must companies capture and transfer knowledge from their SMEs and older workers to a younger generation, we found that our customers were looking for something with seamless adoption; a solution that works with their existing technology, devices and platforms. Instead of being severely constrained by siloed technologies that do not interoperate, need continual updates or aren’t accessible to deskless workers, we created a solution to work with companies’ existing technology and deliver rich, custom experiential content, empowering employees to get work done in new ways, wherever they’re located. With the introduction of Teamwork AR, we are addressing today’s challenges for our customers and the market, as a whole.”
