Key Business Benefits
In addition to supporting the evolving nature of how the latest generation of industry professionals
acquire knowledge and learn new skills, PetroCore Reference offers many benefits to your
organization and employees, including:
- Outsourcing the development and maintenance of core, non-competitive ("important, not
unique") technical knowledge refocuses valuable internal expertise on proprietary knowledge
and skills.
- Online, paperless delivery minimizes the ongoing, printing and shipping costs associated with
the management of physical materials on a global scale.
- Highly-personalized and targeted user access to technical content reduces time-to-knowledge
and drives increased employee productivity. Less time searching for the right information means more time creating value for the
organization.
- 24/7 performance support that makes current and accurate technical knowledge available
within the workflow results in a reduction in error and associated costs.
The PetroCore Reference is available for an annual, per-user subscription fee. Where applicable, PetroSkills course participants
will gain limited-time, trial access to online course materials for the course(s) in which they are enrolled.
