I just started at a big 4 recently and staffed on is an ERP implementation with offshore employees. I've had some experience with ERP but from accounting side not tech. This project is more tech focused than I am expererinced with. Plus the project has been going on for the last year. So I have a lot of learning to do. I know I can learn it with a little training. However, it’s been like pulling teeth to get any cooperation from coworkers. Any advice on how to get caught up?

YouTube is your friend. You can watch videos about whatever work stream you’re working on (ptp, RTR, OTC, etc) which will help with the terminology gap

I am in industry and not sure where your offshore resources are but I have had to speak over people to make sure I am heard and that is even as the SME. Some cultures aren’t respectful of women but I insert myself into the mix. Does your company subscribe to a training service? Many I have worked at have them and they have a lot of technical courses there… Best of luck!
