Take care of the heart and lungs of your business
What are the best processes and procedures to get the job done with xTuple open source ERP+CRM?
For years, we've taught an intense five-day, in-the-classroom introduction to xTuple called ERP Boot Camp: Setup and Configuration. Today, we offer you the addition of the ERP Basics class, designed for a hands-on, start-to-finish orientation to using xTuple. And you can join your fellow classmates from the convenience of your home, office, or favorite cafe.
This class — focused entirely on essential business process flows — complements the Setup and Configuration course. While the two classes are independent of one another, those who plan to take Setup and Configuration will find this class a logical place to get started.
ERP Basics: Learning Business Process Flows is an online class taught in two (2) three-hour sessions on three (3) consecutive days. That's a total of 18 hours of ERP Basics specifically focused on how to most efficiently transact the process flows used every workday. Students will work independently during break-out sessions. Exercises reinforce transacting the process flow with concepts just introduced by the live instructor. Students will connect to our cloud-based training server to work on these exercises.
Do you have new hires in your organization? ERP Basics training should be a fundamental part of on-boarding for all of your new employees.
