Course Description

This comprehensive MicroStrategy Fast Track training course provides students with an overview of the main MicroStrategy components. We recommend working together with one of our senior trainers in selecting a 5-day or 10-day curriculum for your team before any large project implementation.

Students will receive the materials and access to a licensed environment to work on the training labs. For an additional cost, we can work with your data / business scenarios.

Testimonials

Thoroughly enjoyed the training. The trainer was fantastic! It is rare but always an awesome experience when a trainer is also an experienced practioner with a breadth of knowledge and hands on experience… even well beyond the subject matter at hand. I had the feeling that the trainer could have answered in detail any question we might have had related to not only BDM but Hadoop and other relevant big data topics as well. Time well spent and I hope to encounter Tomi again.

Hands-down the best technical training I have taken! The methods of progressively building reports, adding complexity and features as time goes on, was fantastic.
