Business Objects Training and Consulting is Schmidt Ink’s only
Business. We strive to provide the best training, consulting and
books for Business Objects applications. Our Business Objects
expertise has been trusted by our clients for over a decade. These
clients include Citibank, Dow Chemical Company, Biogen Idec, Hewlett
Packard, Medtronic, and many other large companies. We hope that you
too will become competent Business Objects professionals through our
training and products. Please contact us at
information@schmidtink.com for more information.
Online Training Courses
We now offer our Business Objects training via our
online training
site. We are hoping that this training site will allow us to create
even more effective multimedia training. Our Computer-Based training
programs have helped many people become very skilled Business Objects
Report writers and Universe designers. However, these programs have
been constrained to a CD that we delivered in our books. With our
online training site, we are hoping to deliver very effective training
for Web Intelligence and Universe Designer that will continuously evolve
and expand.
Each student will receive a personalized training environment with access
to their courses and transcripts. Resources and white papers will be added
to the environment as they are created to support the students. In addition,
students will receive a certificate upon completion of a course.
For a limited time, we are offering a $25 discount off the retail price. Please
use the following code to receive your discount:

In addition, we are offering group discounts. Please contact us at
Information@SchmidtInk.com for group discount information.
By the way, please use this same email address for questions that arise while
you are taking the courses. We very much value your questions and comments
and will try to address them as soon as possible.
At Your Desk Business Objects Training
Many people need training to learn BusinessObjects, because they
need the skills to do their jobs. However, in most cases, they have
to leave their jobs and go to a different environment to get
training. Then, when they return, they still need to apply the new
skills learned to the tasks at hand. This disjoint between training
and being successful at work makes it difficult for people to use
their newly acquired skills.
With At Your Desk Training, I come to your office and train you to
use BusinessObjects with your Universes and Data. This ensures that
you will be able to successfully apply your new
Business Objects skills.
On-Site Business Objects Training
We have been training Business Objects since 1993. We have
also been writing Business Objects training material since 1995,
when we wrote the first and only training manual for Business
Objects ReportScript. This book was so successful that we even
taught it to the creators of the product.
With On-Site training, we send a highly skilled trainer to your location to train at
your corporation’s training facility. We often use the same data
that the students will use when they start creating reports. We
are able to use the corporation’s data, because we have worked
in so many different businesses that we are familiar with most
data models. During the class, we often create reports that the
students are interested in creating, and thus they get a
jump-start on their reporting tasks even before they leave the
classroom.
Computer Based Training
Many products claim to be computer-based training, but few
truly live up to expectations. We at Schmidt Ink have designed
our Business Objects Training CD’s to overcome the limitations
encountered when attempting to use other products on the market.
By configuring a new, user-friendly interactive interface, we
have created a product that surpasses ordinary expectations.
Students can complete the course at their own pace. They can
also revisit the topics as many times as needed, with quick
access to any topic on the CD.
Virtual Business Objects Training
Today’s multinational companies have employees that are
spread throughout the world. This dispersion makes it difficult
to train employees in a common environment. Therefore, many
companies are using virtual training rooms that are accessed
through the internet. Schmidt Ink has been successfully training
through this medium for some time now, and our clients have found it
to be compelling, helpful, and practical.
Corporate Training Solutions
Many companies have in-house training for their employees.
These companies put great effort into providing convenient and
flexible training solutions, so that their employees can achieve
the knowledge levels necessary to run today’s multinational
companies. We understand this need for flexibility and will work
with companies to help them provide the best Business Objects
training. We offer books, computer based training, even training
for their trainers.
Robert Schmidt has been writing books and papers on Business
Objects since 1993. His publications are well known and trusted
throughout the world. His latest books: Business Objects XI:
Designer CBT and Business Objects XI - CBT: Web Intelligence include
computer-based training (CBT)
CD’s. Robert realizes that people purchase his books to learn how to
become Business Objects professionals. Therefore, he created these CBT’s to help people to
understand the text. These CBT’s are very
well thought out and are thorough, interactive, and user-friendly. Please contact us at
information@schmidtink.com for more information.
Training Software Updates
Patch for Windows 7 and Vista 64-Bit
The CBT's that ship with our books were written for Windows 32-bit
operating systems. When the 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Vista
became popular, we discovered that the CBT's would not run in the
64-bit environments. If you have XP, Vista, or Windows 7 64-bit,
please download and install the patch on our
downloads page.
