The Challenge

The training team handles a multitude of training sessions for various internal, external, corporate, and retail clients, with 200+ internal and external trainers. These trainers are assigned to various Training based on their skills and availability. The Operations team finds it challenging to schedule manually and chaotic. Previously, this was managed on an Excel file where only a few pieces of training were organized. As the company grew, the training sessions also increased exponentially with an additional set of freelance trainers.

Solutions

• Implementing an automated system to manage training schedules, ensuring all trainers’ availability is accurately tracked and scheduled without manual errors.
• Creating a centralized platform to manage all training sessions, trainers, and participants, improving visibility and coordination across the organization.
• Introducing role-based access control to ensure that only authorized personnel can access specific functions and data within the system, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
• Developing a feature that allows trainers to update their availability and unavailability, ensuring accurate scheduling and minimizing overlaps.
• Implementing a CMS to manage training materials, resources, and documentation, ensuring easy access and updates for trainers and participants.
• Automating the distribution and management of MOC, ensuring that the latest training materials are always available and reducing manual workload.
• Using tools like Amazon QuickSight and MTM to gather and analyze feedback from training sessions, providing insights into trainer performance and training effectiveness.
• Utilizing AWS services like Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, and Amazon RDS to create a scalable, reliable, and cost-effective infrastructure that supports the training management application.
• Leveraging Power Automate to automate various workflows, such as notifications, data synchronization, and reporting, increasing operational efficiency and reducing manual tasks.

CloudThat containerized 22 applications on Amazon ECS, established a streamlined CI/CD workflow with AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodePipeline, configured APM monitoring on OpenSearch for proactive system management, and implemented Aurora Serverless for scalable, cost-efficient database operations serving 3500 customers.
