While there are many indications the “Great Recession” is over, the budget lag and fear of one last dip seems to be constraining IT project funding – EXCEPT – of all places, training. While this seems perfectly logical (when there are fewer hands to do the work, making sure those hands are skilled is critical), historically, training budgets are the first to be cut when there’s a downturn. Maybe organizations are wising up this time around…here at The Fillmore Group we are receiving more training requests than anytime in the past five years. The classes we deliver for IBM are attracting students from a variety of organizations – large, small, government, and non-profits. This is a great trend…if you’d like to help it continue, why not join us for one of the classes below, or let me know what you’d like to see.
Our scheduled classes for summer, 2010 are listed below. Registration is on the IBM website at www.ibm.com/training using the Training Finder and the course number.

I work for 5280 Solutions LLC, a wholly owned component of Nelnet Inc. Nelnet uses InfoSphere CDC extensively but has limited staff resources with knowledge of how to set up and administer the product. We are looking for training for multiple staff members plus some consulting to review current use of CDC and provide advice on how to do things better. Does your group offer these types of services?
