Wondering what anyone had to say or recommend about any CBT (Computer Based Training) or WBT (WEB Based Training) courses on Business Objects topics? Has anyone tried any? Thanks.

Hi:
We ordered the BusObj Personal Trainer CBT v4.1 last year for new users who were unable to attend our training sessions, or who otherwise wanted to compliment the training session with self-paced instruction. The CBT was really detailed and covered the application’s functionality at a really low-level.
The response from new users was generally positive, the only major complaint being that the CBT operates upon the tutorial universes and not the actual universes they would use in their day-to-day work. New users seemed to feel more comfortable with the application after using the CBT. Hope this helps…

Lisa,
We looked at both CompuExcel’s Business Objects Essentials and Business Objects Personal Trainer. The users liked the CompuExcel CBT the best in spite of the monotone voice (which I hear in 5.0 has changed). CompuExcel also offers a web based version of the CBT. We are in the process of evaluating our training to incorporate the CBT into it. It is a great tool to save time in instructor lead training and serves as a reference for users should they forget any concepts.

I can personally recommend a Canadian company called CompuExcel. The contact there is Chander Aggerwal. (chander@COMPUEXCEL.COM) Simon

The Business Objects Personal Trainer was a nice tool to have but when I evaluated the tool that CompuExcel put out there was no contest. CompuExcel has in my opinion the best Business Objects CBT available. You can obtain a trial CD from their website at:
Kind Regards,

I have heard that the NEW Personal trainer for 5.0 and WebI is all web based and is excellent. I will be checking it out in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Lisa:
As you have heard from others, we offer Intranet/CD based training for three modules of BusinessObjects:
BusinessObjects Essentials (Intro-Intermediate Level end-user training)
Beyond Essentials (Advanced End User Training)
WebIntelligence Essentials (Webi End User Training)
Barring advanced drilling, our CBTs cover almost all (more in some cases) the topics that were covered in the 4.1 classroom curriculum.
CBT/WBT development is a core part of our business and as such, we also offer customized CBTs that can use your own data/universes.
For corporations who do not have restrictions on media streaming over the web, we offer all these modules directly from our web server and offer usage statistics as well. If you do have streaming restrictions, we can send you a demo CD otherwise you can try it out directly from our web site.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you need any more information.
Regards,
Chander Aggarwal
The home of World’s first full multimedia fully customizable Web Based Training for BusinessObjects!
