Glen-Gery
Oracle JD Edwards ERP Training one of the USA’s largest brick manufacturers.
The Onboard ERP training partnership enabled this JD Edwards ERP project to go-live on schedule.
Joanne Harrison, Onboard ERP Sales Director
Industry-leading brick and stone manufacturer Glen-Gery selected specialist training consultancy Onboard ERP to support the implementation of Oracle JD Edwards ERP at Glen-Gery’s Brick Centres and Plants across North America. The project impacted over 140 employees at more than 20 sites.
During the initial training needs analysis, Onboard ERP identified two key training audiences. Firstly, the Finance and administration teams would need training across a range of workstreams, such as general ledger, accounts payable, inventory management, purchase order management, and shop floor control. Secondly, the Sales order management teams would need training to cover sales order processing, invoicing, returns and credits, and inquiries.

Staff from all sites were gathered at a central office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for face-to-face classroom training ahead of go live. This was a joint undertaking by Onboard ERP and Glen-Gery’s internal project team. Training sessions for the head office operatives were conducted by the internal project team and Redfaire, while two Onboard ERP consultants provided practical training for the remaining end users.
In addition to this, Onboard ERP created and delivered a Skill the Trainer course to selected Glen-Gery super users, covering functional and process knowledge, teaching techniques, and an overview of Onboard ERP’s role-specific training materials. This enabled the super users to conduct further training sessions internally, including classroom sessions and more informal on-site training.
Before working with Glen-Gery, Onboard ERP had provided training for Ibstock Brick, Glen-Gery’s UK-based parent company. Joanne Harrison, Sales Director at Onboard ERP, said “the business clearly understands the importance of providing staff with accurate and engaging training.
Satisfied clients are the biggest asset to Onboard ERP and we were delighted to be back on board once again.”
