SkillForge is happy to announce QlikView Training – offered both as live, onsite classes and live, online classes. Business Intelligence is a major area of interest to most companies these days. With data stored in multiple different sources (mainframes, client server databases, etc.) – the idea of a simple “dashboard” for executives and managers to quickly analyze key performance indicators is very attractive. There are several tools in the market that can assist in building these dashboards, including Crystal Dashboard Design, SharePoint and QlikView.

From Wikipedia:

QlikView can be used for all types of reporting, forecasting, and general data analysis of virtually any type of information (e.g., GA, AR, AP, sales, inventory, estimates, trends, etc.). And because it allows end users to interact with the data, QlikView (despite its categorization as business software) can also be used in any field where real-time data analysis is needed (e.g., science, engineering, academic research, art, etc.). QlikView can be deployed on premise, cloud servers, laptops, mobile devices like iPhones and iPads, and for single users to large enterprises.

If you want to learn QlikView check out our QlikView 11 for Developers Training course.

Adobe Captivate allows you to quickly create software demonstrations, interactive simulations, branching scenarios, and quizzes without programming. The functionality in Captivate 5 (and now the newly released Captivate 6 – which you can try for free using the Captivate 6 free trial) helps you to go beyond boring screen captures or monotonous eLearning by using interactive and engaging features. And once you’ve created your content, you can easily integrate it with your other eLearning applications and SCORM and AICC compliant Learning Management Systems (LMS) to deliver content to your users.

If you’re not familiar with using screen capture or eLearning creation tools, Captivate can be a little intimidating at first. We’ve compiled a set of free resources to help you learn Adobe Captivate.  Or, if you’re someone who learns better in a structured learning environment, check out our Captivate 5 Training and Captivate 6 Training courses which are hands-on classes led by a live instructor.
