RESOURCES FOR ALERE

A wide range of support is available 

CONSULTING

Consulting and training services are available at your site or via a webinar. Understanding ALERE concepts and how to develop best practices around them will help ensure a successful implementation.

Training groups of employees on specific work flow related to their functions can be a more efficient approach to learning ALERE and how to integrate it into a company when it is done on-site or using blocks of webinar time.

The one-on-one training may also be used to provide employees with recurrent training, which will assist them in making the most of both ALERE’s core and newest features.

HTML MANUAL

ALERE has an online user manual that is installed on every workstation. Clicking on the "?" on an ALERE screen will automatically start the Manual and display the corresponding screen with field level support.

The Manual contents are arranged to match the sequence of ALERE's ribbon menu to make it easy to navigate and find support.

Each process in ALERE has brief step-by-step instructions in bold font. Following the instructions are operating notes, expanding on the instructions and including hints and tips about the process.

Instructional videos are embedded in the Manual that provide brief demonstrations of the specific subject.

The HTML Manual undergoes ongoing review and improvement and updates are periodically made available for downloading on the TIW web site.
