Investing in Your People

Training is vital to support your investment in Business Intelligence. When users interpret the key factors in your organisation you want them to spend more time making decisions and less time trawling through data.

BI Inform recognises the importance of qualified training and offers cost effective "knowledge transfer" tailored around individual needs and delivered in business language your users will understand. Our courses are designed for both IT and non IT users, supporting them with workshop manuals, exercises, and slide presentations.
We also provide more advanced courses for administrators, equipping them with the in-depth knowledge to support users within your own organisation.
 
Convenient forms of training
As well as standard courses, we have also designed a modular training programme that, when combined, delivers courses tailored to the individual needs of your organisation. Analysis of training requirements is an integral part of the service to ensure that courses meet business objectives.

Training courses can be offered in a number of different locations:

• On your own premises, saving your staff time and improving convenience.
• At our Harrogate offices - Maximum of 4 delegates for training at our Harrogate Office
  

A wealth of experience in training
All of our training staff have in-depth knowledge of the company's product range and have spent considerable time in working directly with customers in organisations of different sizes. The training service is therefore highly practical and focused on customer needs.

By investing in the skills of your people, you will make the most of your investment in business intelligence software. We have the skills and experience to help you assess your key training requirements and deliver courses that meet your business needs.

Listed below is a selection of the courses we offer. All are modular in approach and can therefore be customised to suit your business requirements. If the course you require is not shown, please contact us for more details. Phone for a course itinerary on 01423 875123.
