IBM Planning Analytics Training
Not your bog-standard, vanilla planning analytics training course.
Planning analytics workspace training courses can be full of things you don’t actually need to know. We create training courses for your system. Whether you’d like to come along as we build out your IBM planning analytics workspace, if you want a demo on how to develop models, or if you need more confidence that you’re using the system in the most efficient way, we specialise in training that’s for you.
Ways we can do it
Train the Trainer
The SaaS space’s favourite phrase, for good reason. It’s a system that works. You send one of your employees our way, we train them on real life data sources from your system, meaning they can go out and teach everyone else. And then they have bragging rights for life.
Videos
There are tonnes of boring IBM planning analytics courses where you just sit there, watching a video, often including a bunch of elements that don’t actually matter to you. They just don’t show you what you actually need to do, day in, day out. That’s not us. We give you real life training on your data and all the knowledge you need to use IBM Planning Analytics.
Bespoke Courses
Whether you’re brand new to the system and need to get out of the 110 tabs of Microsoft Excel that you’ve been using, or are building out a finance team and need videos to onboard new hires, we can sit with you and answer all of your burning questions, as they appear, to create bespoke courses on your system.
