Testimonials
“ExistBI, Thank you again for the great Microsoft Power BI, PowerApps and Power Automate courses, our team was very happy”
- Kerry Urofsky, Systems Manager, Service, Avantik
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.
