  Achieve Success in 2023 through Learning

  
  

  We are off and running in 2023 with an exciting year of learning opportunities ahead! If one of your New Year's resolutions is to improve your skills in any aspect of InterSystems technology, we can help so it doesn’t get lost or fade into the background. Commit to achieving your goals by making learning the key to your success. Now is the perfect time to invest in training and take advantage of existing resources!

  Learning Services is a one-stop shop for learning what you want, when and where you want, in the way that suits you best:

  • If live training is your go-to method of learning, sign up for a classroom course, whether virtual or in person.
  • If you prefer to learn at your own pace, visit the InterSystems Learning site and choose from over a thousand online self-paced modules, work through a variety of learning paths, or listen to some podcasts.
  • If you want all the details, the InterSystems documentation website is a great source of knowledge for all our products. Now it is even more how-to focused, with improved search—making it faster and easier to find what you need.
  • If you want to aim higher, set a goal to get certified in a particular technology. Prepare for success by connecting all the Learning Services resources—a hybrid of classroom, online learning, documentation, and practice questions.
    

  The Learning Services team is committed to helping you reach your goals and enabling our customers to achieve success through learning. Reach out if you and your customers need more support in achieving success through learning in 2023!

  Supporting Your New Year's Resolutions

  

  Want to maximize your organization's analytics capabilities, or be more deliberate about how you allocate finite resources? InterSystems documentation has you covered!
