Please note that our approach can be adapted to the availability and expertise at the client’s side.
Our teams will initially meet for planning discussions and scoping workshops to determine the exact requirements of the project. We will also provide end user training. Training can be carried out either at one of our offices or on the client site. On-line webinars are available along with seminars. Regular account management visits are organised to assist with guidance on new features which may be available.
