PBI Expands Training

Recently the PBI Training Department conducted a survey to gather user input regarding our training. In response to those surveys and general feedback received, the Precision.BI Training Department will begin offering periodic web courses for clients to broaden their knowledge base with our software and its components. Join your peers to learn advanced techniques and expand your use of Precision.BI. These web sessions may provide a more cost-effective alternative to custom or on-site training. However, both custom and on-site training will still be available and may be more beneficial in certain circumstances.

Here is a description of what will be offered in the 3rd Quarter of 2009. Please contact customer.care@precisionbi.com or rsutter@precisionbi.com to sign up for these classes or for additional information.
