National nonprofit successfully migrates to Microsoft 365 with scalable end-user training and support

Vitalyst’s client is a national nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C. that works to help support their community and create positive social change by focusing on issues that affect older adults. Through their developing partnerships, programs, and services, this organization empowers their members to live their best across industries like health and wellness, financial services, and travel.

Nonprofit’s initial engagement with Vitalyst began in 2017 during a company migration to Microsoft 365 and Windows. As with any company that undergoes a major tech investment, nonprofit needed to carefully consider and plan for the business challenges like system integrations, data transfer, and security. And just as critical, nonprofit needed to determine how they were going to provide IT support and adoption services to their 2,000 employees at scale during and after the transition. 


Ensuring a seamless end-user transition to Microsoft 365 and Windows with Vitalyst

Vitalyst, an award-winning Microsoft Partner recognized for their expertise in change enablement, employee skilling, and end user support, was contracted by nonprofit to assist in their migration. Vitalyst delivered customized employee webinars and on-site instructor-led training sessions at nonprofit’s regional offices across the U.S. to help get end users acclimated to their new software applications. With these trainings, nonprofit accelerated the deployment of Microsoft 365 and Windows to their entire organization, including the setup and activation of Skype enabled laptops and headsets for all employees. 


Maximizing application ROI through ongoing employee skilling and adoption services

After the go-live, nonprofit continued to leverage Vitalyst for end user software training and 24x7 how-to phone support so that employees could have ongoing access to resources without burdening their internal IT department. Nonprofit’s team was seeing value in outsourcing their IT support through Vitalyst – their employees were productive, trained, and properly supported, leading to greater utilization and ROI on their Microsoft applications.

Nonprofit then deployed Vitalyst’s Adaptive Learning platform to all their users – a single resource for employee training, learning, and on-demand support, accessible through the Learn Now app in Microsoft Teams. With Adaptive Learning, nonprofit employees have a variety of tools available to help them better use their Microsoft applications, including 24x7 phone and chat support and on-demand learning and training content. Nonprofit is now benefiting from:

  • Employees finding IT resolutions quickly when they chat or speak live with a Vitalyst consultant, increasing productivity for users
  • Employees broadening their education through content like how-to videos, step-by-step guides, and instructor-led webinars, resulting in a knowledgeable, upskilled workforce
