ANRU accelerates the adoption of its IODA application among 1,630 internal users and partners.

The French National Agency for Urban Renewal (ANRU) relies on K-STUDIO and K-NOW to train employees and partners through hands-on practice, then guide them directly within the IODA business application.

Project overview

Train users through hands-on practice before rollout, then guide them in their day-to-day work.

As part of the rollout of the third module of its IODA application, ANRU needed to quickly support two user groups with very different needs. K-STUDIO made it possible to simulate the application for training purposes, while K-NOW delivers guidance and contextual messages directly within the work environment.

Customer testimonial

The context

A major IODA release to deploy within a tight timeframe.

IODA is ANRU’s internally developed business application for managing contracts and grants. After the first two modules went live in 2018 and 2019, the Agency was preparing the third module, with training scheduled to begin in November 2020 ahead of a production launch planned for February 2021.

Previous approaches, based on classroom training, demonstrations, a static e-learning package and videos, had shown their limitations. Without a dedicated training environment, ANRU needed another way for users to practise without relying on the live application.

The solution implemented

A continuous journey, from simulated training to in-app assistance in the flow of work.

Following a recommendation from DXC Technology, ANRU selected K-STUDIO to create hands-on exercises reproducing IODA screens and processes. A K-NOW proof of concept then demonstrated the value of integrated guidance before the solution was rolled out more broadly.
