GDS Education

As years of experience have taught, investing in the right software is the first step.
Learning to use it properly is the second. It is for this reason that we make available
comprehensive education in the use of the software products we provide. Where
appropriate, we recommend the train-the-trainer approach. However, we can train
your entire organization or design a customized program to suit your company's
specific needs.

In every case, we provide intensive hands-on workshop instruction either in our
classroom or at a location of your choice. The training includes the full range of the
software's capabilities, ensuring maximum value from your investment. Our
educational programs receive consistently high reviews from participants, and we
consider them an indispensable part of every successful implementation.

Once the installation and implementation
of your new software are complete and you
have some "hands on experience" with it,
we offer a service to audit your use of the
software. In the audit, we examine your
use of the software in your business to
ensure that you are getting maximum
value by fully utilizing all appropriate
features of the software. Upon completion
of the audit, we deliver written and verbal
reports to you that include a plan for
maximizing any underutilized area in the
software.

Further, on-going education ensures continued return on your software investment.
Turnover, in any organization, reduces the knowledge and therefore the utilization of
any software. A program of continued education, especially for new hires, is critical to
the efficient and best use of your software. When you made the decision to implement
your current business solution, your justifications were clearly defined and the total
costs determined. Now, you have the solution installed and integrated into your
business. Are you aware that you may have a creeping cost that is affecting your cost of
ownership? Productivity, one of the drivers in your original purchase decision could be
costing you money. If your users have not had a recent refresher on the full and proper
use of your system, your bottom line may be suffering along with your productivity.
