As the event manager for Training Services, I strongly felt it was time for us to reconnect with our loyal customers by investing and focusing on some new face to face offerings for ZENworks, GroupWise and Open Enterprise Server trainings.

Recently we ran several events that we called "TechShare" in select cities. It was awesome to be back face to face and see the response of the Novell faithful. It reminded me of years past, which many of you will remember when we ran those TechShares from yesteryear.

However, we had many customers wondering when we were coming to their city. I realize that going out on the road city to city limited the reach. In listening to the feedback, the solution is to now bring this TechShare event in to the virtual world. Not to diminish the value of being face to face with so many customers, it has been an awesome experience to see the interest in these events, but in order to address more customer's needs for training across all of North America, we are now planning to run a Virtual TechShare for the first time ever!

Here are some of the details....
Dates planned for this first event is June 5th and 6th and below is a list of session titles offered over the two day training. You will be able to choose the sessions that interest you most from these 3 tracks dedicated to ZENworks, GroupWise, and Open Enterprise Server.

By registering , you will have access to 2 full days of training. The cost for the training is US$350. That's $1,000 less than our standard online training fees for a two day class! We feel it is that important to get this training out to as many customers as we can and address the feedback we have received where the city tour was not feasible.

If you are concerned about this being virtual, you can learn more about our online training at this link - http://www.novell.com/training/online/

We have been doing virtual training for years, and it is a great way to keep travel costs down, attend the training in your pajamas, with hair uncombed and still get all you need with a solid hands-on and interactive experience.

Looking forward to having you in the virtual TechShare classrooms.
