    The Gartner Group's research shows that many BI programs fail for two main reasons: they don't plan ahead or they lack a strategic vision. Choosing your BI program's focus is a challenge. A BI roadmap is one way to create a strategy and plan for execution. This process of creating a strategic plan is straightforward, yet very powerful when done correctly. Join us for a free webinar to learn about: The importance of a BI roadmap to the long-term success of your program.

WHAT WE'RE DOING

The Lancet Training Facility is available for use, at no charge for our active customers and prospects.

  • Using an off-site facility is a great way to reinforce the importance of your meeting, eliminate distractions and assure the undivided attention of your audience.
  • The computers are configurable so you can test and prove the viability of your new application without jumping through hoops to acquire a similar environment in-house.
  • The classroom setting is great for introducing a new prototype application to influential users.

We do this as a way to bring additional value to our customers. Recently, one of our customers used our facility to host a gathering of plant controllers from around the U.S. They needed a venue that made it possible for the attendees to do some hands-on training with new reporting tools.

The Lancet Training Facility can seat 12 (plus instructor) comfortably and 15 + instructor is doable, but a bit cramped. There are 15 workstations and an Instructor station, overhead projector, and various A/V aids. There is a side conference room also, plus restroom and full kitchen. We can provide breakfast, lunch and snacks if you desire.

Please let us know if we can assist with a meeting or training session you would like to hold. Contact Cindy at 952-230-9283 or by email.
