NEW! InTouch for System Platform 2012 Training

Last month we released the new InTouch for System Platform 2012 training course. The new course is a 5-day update from the previous 4-day course.

As it's predecessor, the new InTouch for System Platform 2012 course is an instructor-led class designed to provide a fundamental understanding of the features and functionality of how Application Server provides visualization for your plant galaxy data using ArchestrA Symbols by seamlessly integrating the InTouch for System Platform software.

This course has been scheduled on a monthly basis starting in September 2012 at our training facility in Lake Forest, California. Our next session is scheduled for November 12-16, 2012.
