Column5 Consulting Announces Rigorous Training Curriculum to Help Companies Maximize Their EPM ROI
EPM Academy, led by Column5's Director of Training Solutions, Jennifer Harlan, currently offers a suite of SAP BPC Reporting and Administration courses.
Phoenix, AZ, January 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Column5 Consulting, a global leader in Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) consulting, today announced the launch of its formal training practice to provide training solutions to customers of SAP BusinessObjects Planning & Consolidation (SAP BPC).
“Training and knowledge transfer are crucial to the success of every implementation. If users aren’t empowered to use the full capabilities of an EPM solution, you increase risk and impede your return on investment,” stated David Den Boer, CEO of Column5. “We are the only BPC partner to offer comprehensive implementations, which include rigorous in house training programs.”
Column5’s training organization, EPM Academy, offers a suite of SAP BPC Reporting courses, as well as BPC Administration courses. All offerings can be delivered virtually or on site, as standard or customized modules. EPM Academy’s comprehensive portfolio is growing rapidly, with eLearning options, as well as additional product offerings, rolling out in 2010. Courses are offered monthly, with session dates and times, as well as agenda topics and registration, available online at http://training.column5.com.
“The cost of no training, or inadequate training, is extremely high, untrained users need more support, require more time to achieve the same skill level , and take longer to complete the same amount of work as trained users,” said Jennifer Harlan, Director of Training Solutions at Column5. “Our training program is superior because of our experience, approach, and commitment.”
Harlan has been a professional curriculum developer and trainer in the EPM space for over a decade, designing and developing BPC training programs for administrators, power users, and end users, across all industries, as well as delivering over 300 engaging and interactive live training sessions.
“In addition to the instructor’s proficiency with the subject matter, very well laid out presentations and examples; I really like the variety, scope and substance of each BPC reporting class I took through EPM Academy,” said Stepan Vorotnyak, a Financial Analyst at ABHOW. “I took several higher level courses and that investment paid off many times over when I prepared EVDRE reports my company needed based on insights learned from BPC classes.”
