Who provides Martus training and outreach to NGOs throughout the world?
During the initial rollout stages, Martus staff has been offering training and installation services at no charge for the initial adopter groups unable to pay for these services. Martus needs to achieve critical mass to have the widest impact, and providing these direct services to beta and early users is essential to building the core user base. Benetech leverages the expertise of highly qualified trainers through the “train-the-trainer” model. Our longer-term plan is for Martus technology to become part of the core toolkit of NGO technology staff and to phase out Benetech training efforts over time. At that point, the community of Martus users will grow rapidly each year and the reliance on professional outreach by Martus staff will decrease.
