Business Objects Training

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: V3BOCOURSE 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.

Business Objects Books

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.
