Getting Start with Vuuch

As we move out of beta and into paying customers we are finding some best practices for getting started with Vuuch.  Like everything Vuuch, simplicity is key, so before starting please remeber the KISS principal.  You know: Keep It Simple Stupid or I guess you could say Keep It Stupid Simple. 

Below are recommendations we’ve found that gaurentee a successful use of Vuuch:

• Training:  Even if you’ve fooled around with a trial you NEED some training.  Although Vuuch is very simple we do not recommend that you just jump of the end of the dock without a swimming lesson.  Training takes between 1 and 2 hours.  Attend a group training session or send an email to contact@vuuch.com requesting a private training session (There is no charge for training).  Or if you are the nerdie type that like manuals (the only type of reading I like) then subscribe to the Vuuch documentation page here http://vuuch.me/collaboration/fileRepNW4/discussions/916.
• Keep it real:  Use real data!!!  Use real data!!!  OH did you get that, Use Real Data!!!  If you just make stuff up you will find you create no stickiness.  Real data makes Vuuch real sticky.  Pull out that excel file you are using to track what needs to get done and start with this.  Pick a few deliverables, Vuuch them and add the information from the excel file.  Delete this stuff from excel and guess what you are now using Vuuch to track your deliverables.
• Start small:  Remember, success breeds success!!!  See keep it real just above.  Start with one or two deliverables and grow from there.  Before you know it you will hear everyone in the office saying things like Vuuch it, Vuuch knows and maybe even just yelling Vuuch as it is so much fun to say.  Some people have started as small as just themselves, so don’t be afraid to Vuuch alone.
• Keep it simple:  Vuuch is already feature rich and every week there are new features (got to love SAAS).  Don’t turn using Vuuch into a PLM deployment.  Use a few key features, generate success, use Vuuch in a sentence and expand from there. 

And above all, don’t be afraid to smile, Vuuch is fun.  OH and if you have not updated your Vuuch add-ins please do so.  There are some new features but best of all after this next install the add-ins will update automatically for you.
