What is dScribe?
dScribe is an elegant and effective documentation solution, focused on increasing adoption of your applications and reports. You can use it to:
increase understanding by embedding documentation directly into your enterprise applications and reports
facilitate onboarding & adoption by creating a searchable inventory of your applications and reports
harmonize definitions in a collaborative business glossary
What are the typical steps customers take when getting started?
These are some actions successful customers typically take:
An onboarding session with dScribe
Documenting a first set of reports or application pages
--> These steps typically take 1-2 hours in total
Invite a number of colleagues to try out their experience with dScribe as end users
--> Validation with the first 5-10 users is typically done at the end of the first week
Set up Single Sign-On (SSO)
Do a general communication do announce the availability of dScribe to the target audience (could be company-wide, all stakeholders of a specific project, everyone in the targetted business unit...)
--> Further implementation can be done organically, for example documenting reports and application pages when they become relevant or whenever users ask questions. You could also kick-start this in project mode, for example planning a few days to focus on adding key content related to a specific business domain or application.
