Introducing the DriveWorks Digital Suite

Learning & Innovation at DriveWorks

At DriveWorks we are continuously learning and innovating. Our team enjoy sharing ideas and discussing new topics.

With such a wealth of knowledge across our teams, we see the importance of sharing and learning from one another. We are frequently delivering internal training to help develop the skills of our team.

Every Friday we have our weekly Show & Tell, where we get together and share what we have been working on.  Even during the pandemic we have continued with our weekly Show & Tell sessions over Microsoft teams.

It’s not just internal training taking place at the office. Over the years we have welcomed lots of guests from our Reseller AE’s and Customers to deliver training on-site.

The DriveWorks Training Room 

In 2019, we turned one of the buildings at DriveWorks HQ into the ‘Training Room‘.

With lots of training happening onsite, the training room is a great asset.

The extra space gives us more flexibility and offers a new space to use as our team continues to grow.

Fitted with a projection screen, 6 desks and 6 monitors, the training room has provided the perfect space for us to deliver internal training and host guests who visit the site to boost their DriveWorks technical knowledge.

We even have a 3D Printing station set up in the back of the room. We have two 3D printers here at DriveWorks HQ, an Ultimaker and a Formlabs printer.

Adapting to Virtual Events 

Due to the global pandemic, over the past year, all in-person events have been either cancelled or made ‘digital’.

Virtual events are something we’ve adjusted to very quickly. Back in April 2020, we hosted a virtual version of our annual technical training event, DriveWorks World.

Whilst the global situation stopped us from hosting a face to face event, we still wanted to provide an opportunity for DriveWorks users to learn and connect.

We made all of the downloadable content available through the DriveWorks Community and hosted live sessions including a live What’s New presentation sharing the latest features in our next release. 

With plenty more virtual events to come throughout the year such as virtual careers fairs, virtual SWUGN meetings and the introduction of our global networking event, DriveWorks Drivers, we saw just how important it was for us to have the right set up.

We have continued to invest in the best technology that allows us to deliver great content and engaging presentations.

The training room has now picked up a new name… the DriveWorks ‘Digital Suite‘.

Introducing the DriveWorks Digital Suite

Since purchasing a green screen, our set up has continued evolving and we are now proud to show you our Digital Suite.

With teleprompters, cameras and microphones we have lots of capability for recording professional and engaging content to share with DriveWorks users!

We have big plans for all the training we want to create! Here are Tom and Will from the DriveWorks team recording a presentation.

Creating Great Content

Back in December 2020, we launched the brand new DriveWorks Community, my.driveworks.co.uk. A key feature of MyDriveWorks is an entirely new DriveWorks Learning Portal.

The new Learning Portal offers a whole host of DriveWorks training courses and resources for DriveWorks users to access at any time.

We have made great use of the Digital Suite when recording training for the DriveWorks Learning Portal, also for creating our presentations for Virtual DriveWorks World 2021.

The technical content at DriveWorks World will be presented through easy-to-follow courses in the DriveWorks Learning Portal. Attendees will have the ability to access the courses at a time that best suits them and work through at their own pace.

The Digital Suite makes the perfect set up for us to create lots of amazing content and deliver engaging training and presentations to you.

We’re looking forward to using the Digital Suite lots more in the future!
