NEW! System Platform Maintenance Training

We have released a new System Platform Maintenance training course. It is a 3-day instructor-led class designed to provide a basic understanding of the Application Server, Device Integration Servers, and Historian Server software as components of the System Platform, as well as the skills necessary to perform diagnostics and maintenance tasks in an existing application. The class provides lectures and hands-on labs designed to illustrate the discovery, identification and resolution of runtime problems, installation guidelines, and best practices.

This course has been scheduled on a bi-monthly basis starting in April 2012 at our training facility in Lake Forest, California.
