Highpoint and Unit4 have been working together to create a new Unit4 Business World Super User Course designed specifically for Advanced Users / System Administrators to help them maintain and improve their Business World solution. Our new Super User Course is built upon previous training offered by Unit4 and Highpoint but has been revised, re-focused and updated for Business World and is entirely consistent with the latest Unit4 implementation methodology.
Advanced Users: You have a detailed understanding of your business or functional area from an operational perspective. You may be a Business Analyst or have a management role.
Super User: You have an understanding of the business or functional area and the information systems used to support them. You are a part of the implementation team and will be required to have an understanding or who Business World works from a functional perspective.
For new implementations, the courses will be sold by Unit4. However, the courses are also open to the public and the current schedule is provided below. These public courses cost £350 plus VAT per day per delegate. For further information please contact us on 01225 326409 and ask for our training team or e-mail: enquiries@highpoint-services.co.uk

The people of the world now demand instant answers to everything. From things like how to change a car light bulb, building a homemade BBQ through to learning how to use photoshop.
Answers, help and tutorials are everywhere for everything online, yet answers for Business world are few and far between…and this is how the iBlast concept was born.
iBlast is straight to the point videos allowing users easily accessible tips for how to use Business World and how to get the most out of your system.
We cover all things from Information Pages, Forms, Decoding Parameters and Flexi-Fields and will continue to produce new content on a weekly basis.
In an industry where information is hard to obtain and often comes at a cost, the iBlast concept is there to give vital snippets of information across a varied range of topics through our Youtube channel as well as the Knowledge Hub free of charge.
This might sound like a crazy idea (giving stuff away for free!!) but it is time to open the industry of Business world to on demand and that is exactly what Highpoint has done.
We are giving users tutorials and answers to commonly asks questions, all available in a matter of minutes.
iBlast is different because
One they are free,
Two they are accessible for everyone and
Three they are short enough that you can get what you need without having to look through a 200-page manual or a 15-minute eLearning simulation it is right there.
This might sound like a common thing in most areas of life but in the Business world industry, it is not.
A lot of knowledge is kept under lock and key and we are opening up key pieces of information that are going to enhance the user’s ability to use and grow their own systems.
Did we mention it is free and available on the Knowledge Hub and YouTube and who doesn’t love free stuff!
The iBlast videos are aimed at all Business World users.
The videos will vary from high-end tutorials to end-user aspects of the system but we are looking to cover all frequently asked questions that we get on site while training or consulting.
There will be something for everyone, and we really want your input as well.
What do you want to know?
What do your users want to know?
We want to know and get your input into what iBlast videos are created.
An online community to tips, hints and tutorials.
Get in touch with any ideas and in the meantime enjoy all our free iBlast videos released weekly on Youtube and the Knowledge Hub. You can find the first one here.

Highpoint supplied Training on the reimplementation project at Cancer Research UK. Upskilling of staff based on their roles.
Cancer Research UK is the largest charitable funder of cancer research in the world, funding almost half of all cancer research in the UK.
Cancer Research UK reimplemented their finance system moving from a number of different systems to Unit4 Business World Milestone 5. Cancer Research UK needed end-user training for the reimplementation. To train end-users on such a large scale and over many different sites, it was decided the best form of training would be to publish eLearning materials and provide Quick Cards to support the reimplementation process across all work streams.
Below is the case study of the project.
Highpoint offers a wide range of training services, please contact one of training team to discuss your needs:
