On-line or Live BigPicture training session?

The live session has its unquestionable benefits. You get the trainer working directly with you, so in case of any questions or requests for insights you can ask them immediately and get your answers. We realize that this kind of training is important for many companies we’re working with. Most of our clients want to have a trainer on-site. That’s why feel free to contact us if you’re looking for live sessions. At the same time the on-line training has its own benefits too:

• Freedom of choosing place and time of your BigPicture training. Get the materials and watch them whenever and wherever you want.

• You can pause the training, rewind it, come back to it later, if you need to refresh your memory.

• You still get the content of the full training.

• We go to lengths to deliver you the training full of insights, opinions and use cases, not just raw functionality. Our mission is to deliver best-quality training courses and we believe that this is a crucial ingredient.

• We even record dedicated modules in which we talk only about the strategy of configuration, providing you with tips on how to set up your BigPicture instance to deliver the required results.

• It is a great supplement to your live BigPicture training, which can be distributed among people who didn’t attend it, but still require the knowledge. The cool thing is that because the material is fragmented into many videos, you can actually watch only the ones that are interesting for you.

• In case of further questions after or during your BigPicture training, you can always ask for a consultancy session, during which we will help you answer your questions or suggest the best configuration options for your instance.

• It’s cheaper than live training, so if you want to cut costs, or you need the training just for 1 or 2 people, then this might be the best option for you.
