SAP Enable Now is an in-house digital adoption platform (DAP) provided by SAP to help create training content and stands out as a formidable asset in the realm of training documentation creation and delivery. Its functionality encompasses the creation of training simulations, storage of external training documents, and facilitation of seamless training delivery. The training simulations allow users to see the process they will need to follow step-by-step, while the documents show the user exactly where they need to click in the system to work through a process. If a user is confused about where they need to go in the system or if they forget a step, they can easily refresh their memory using SAP Enable Now documentation. Other features, such as SAP Companion, allow users to pull up SAP Enable Now trainings directly in the SAP system to reference live. Below, we outline 5 key features of SAP Enable Now.

Key Features of SAP Enable Now 

1. Training Content Creation 

One of the standout features of SAP Enable Now is its ability to streamline the creation of training content. By simply recording the steps taken during the training process, users can generate comprehensive training documentation. The recording process meticulously captures every click and keystroke, which can be edited later to tailor the content to specific training needs. This flexibility allows for adjustments such as modifying click locations, revising text associated with each step, adding explanations, or highlighting crucial areas on the screen. The result of these recordings is a playable demo that will show users a process step-by-step, either in SAP or externally. These same recordings can also be used to create practice demos that learners can click through, graded tests, or printable PDF guides with no extra work on behalf of the training’s creator. 

2. Standardization Through Templates 

To maintain consistency across training materials, it’s recommended to establish and create SAP Enable Now recording templates beforehand. These templates serve as blueprints for recording sessions, ensuring uniformity in the structure and format of each training simulation. For instance, incorporating introductory and concluding pages into templates can provide a cohesive framework for each training demo. When a new training is recorded, these templates can be applied to ensure the framework of all training documents are consistent. 

3. Workflow Management 

SAP Enable Now offers a workflow feature that aids in keeping teams synchronized regarding the status and progress of deliverables. Managers can utilize this feature to create, edit, or complete training documents, with each action reflected in the workflow. This transparency enables team members to track updates, leave comments, and reassign tasks as necessary, fostering efficient collaboration and accountability. 

4. Customizable Workareas  

All SAP Enable Now content is housed within customizable Workareas, providing a centralized repository for both in-progress and published materials. This feature allows users to categorize and store training content according to their preferences. End-users can access these Workareas in “Learner Mode,” ensuring easy navigation and retrieval of relevant training materials. 

5. Delivery and Accessibility 

Once training documentation is complete, SAP Enable Now facilitates a smooth delivery to end users. Whether internally or externally generated, all content resides within the Workareas, ensuring accessibility and coherence. By assigning learner access, administrators can control which materials trainees can view, ensuring that only finalized content is made available. 

Success Stories 

Real-world examples can help to illustrate the versatility and effectiveness of SAP Enable Now. For a retail conglomerate, Clarkston used SAP Enable Now’s Learner View to create a centralized training hub for all SAP users across companies and brands. This hub houses SAP Enable Now simulations detailing over a hundred SAP transactions and tiles, training presentation decks, recordings, and more.  

Clarkston also used SAP Enable Now’s functionality of scoring systems and quizzes for a toy products company. In fact, 240 users were assigned specific training courses from 72 total courses and were quizzed on the content – all in the SAP Enable Now system. Project team members could easily track training completion and grades to ensure all new users were completing training and understanding the content trained.  

SAP Enable Now for Streamlined Training 

At the end of the day, SAP Enable Now is a robust solution for training documentation creation and delivery, offering many features to enhance efficiency and consistency. Its intuitive interface, coupled with powerful functionalities such as simulation recording, template usage, workflow management, and content organization, makes it an indispensable tool for training teams. By providing seamless delivery and empowering learners through its accessible interface, SAP Enable Now proves to be a hidden gem in the arsenal of training tools.
