Summary
Forvis Mazars needed a way to educate their users, without having them leave their new platform “Signals”.
They also wanted to onboard users in an autonomous way, where they wouldn’t need to input much.
They used UserGuiding’s onboarding checklists and interactive guides to automate their user onboarding process and experienced a huge drop in support requests.
In addition to the reduced support requests, they also saved up to $250,000 in employee costs as they simplified both onboarding and product adoption processes through UserGuiding and eliminated 2,000 hours of interdepartmental work.

Forvis Mazars specializes in delivering exceptional and tailored services in audit and accounting, as well as tax, financial advisory, consulting and legal services.

They leveraged UserGuiding to create over 350 guides, hotspots, and checklists, significantly streamlining their user onboarding and product adoption processes—especially to virtually train and onboard their clients inside their platform and reduce customer support workload.

Their collaboration platform, Signals, helps to improve business processes and brings a unique digital and collaborative experience to their clients.

With UserGuiding's help, they eliminated more than 2,000 hours of work across development, design, and product management, saving over an estimated $250,000 in employee costs within just three years.

Let's see how:

Onboarding users without borders

Thanks to the internet and every technological advancement ever since, every product or service that’s intended to work locally is a strong candidate to becoming a global solution.

This switch from local to global and the scaling that comes with it becomes especially difficult for companies that haven’t established automated processes, particularly during their user onboarding experiences. It is easy to onboard each user in-person if you’re operating in a limited area with a limited audience, but applying this on a global scale could cost a fortune.

And that’s exactly why almost all companies that offer services and products globally have prioritized becoming self-serve first in their onboarding; digitizing and automating it.

Forvis Mazars was experiencing a similar issue with their collaboration platform:

We needed a tool that would allow us to train and onboard a large number of people across borders on our client collaboration platform Signals. The challenge was that we were looking for training and onboarding options that would allow virtual and visual learning right on the product itself.”

They needed a product that they could create visual onboarding material with, and it had to be right inside their platform so that users could experience a smoother UX.

Optimizing user onboarding material after each update

Another issue companies that have a product still-in-development such as Mazars experience is the upkeep of training material.

For most of the user onboarding solutions, optimizing the onboarding elements after each update costs you more time and valuable resources than it has to be.

On the other hand we needed a solution that could be quickly and easily adapted to the continuous development of Signals.”

They’ve found UserGuiding

UserGuiding was the perfect tool for Forvis Mazars, based on their needs from an onboarding solution.

Forvis Mazars was very much supported in scaling up UserGuiding and convincing our stakeholders on getting the solution onboard.”

With UserGuiding, Forvis Mazars has created a complete user onboarding experience for their clients:

  • First off, they’ve utilized interactive guides to onboard new clients to the platform and introduce the basic UI elements.
  • Then, they’ve used the self-help center feature of UserGuiding to create a help center full of interactive, visual guides that answered their users’ questions.
  • As a result, they were able to save up to $250,000 in employee costs by cutting out 2,000 hours of work across development, design, and product management in three years.

Visible growth with UserGuiding

By using a 3rd-party user onboarding solution such as UserGuiding, Forvis Mazars aimed to turn their user onboarding and training experiences into automated processes that could easily scale with them.

They have experienced a significant drop in support requests that asked about the functionality of the product.

We can imagine using UserGuiding for even more tools and services at Mazars to support users in operating them.”
