The Department of Corrections, Washington State in collaboration with its criminal justice partners, contributes to staff and community safety and hold offenders accountable through administration of criminal sanctions and effective re-entry programs. The Department of Corrections is responsible for administering adult corrections programs operated by the State of Washington. This includes state correctional institutions and programs for offenders supervised in the community.
Business Needs:
The Department of Corrections IT networking department used Microsoft Dynamics GP integrated with Microsoft SQL Server as an accounting solution to automate their processes. But their employees were not trained in GP so they outsourced the maintenance to the Partner from whom they bought the software. The Partner had initially configured and implemented the software for them, but was now also responsible for regular maintenance. However, the Department of Corrections wanted to reduce the costs of outsourcing by getting their own employee trained on GP. They decided to get six people trained and NetCom sold them the value of getting the master certification for installation and configuration, financials, inventory and order processing for their team.
Solution:
NetCom created a custom training plan for them to satisfy all their needs. NetCom provided them with fifteen days of onsite training. The training prepared them for SQL server elective to get master certification in GP 9. The training solution included modules from Financial, Installation, Configuration, Inventory and order processing along with SQL Server training. NetCom provided them with exam vouchers, books and custom certification preparation they need for the training.The six students trained were the ones responsible for the Department of Corrections networks for the entire state of Washington. Instead of continuing to hire experts to administer and maintain their system, they invested in education to raise their own in house GP experts.
The training helped improved their productivity. They cut down their costs significantly by implementing the software in-house rather than outsourcing. Microsoft Dynamics GP integrated with Microsoft SQL Server training from NetCom helped them deliver on a long-term vision of community safety by installing and configuring their financials by inventory and order processing.

Customer: Steve Simon
Location: New York, NY, US
Business Needs:
Steve is an experienced IT consultant particularly in the area of SQL DBA and programming, but had not had the time to keep up with the latest advancements in his field. His business had lost large contracts due to his lack of knowledge of delivering SQL business intelligence reports. He needs to update his skill set so that he can offer the latest in SQL capabilities to increase sales for his business.
Solution:
A NetCom Learning educational consultant sent Steve a link about upcoming SQL courses at NetCom Learning. The recommendation was for a Boot camp or Learning Package that offered intensive Microsoft SQL Server 2012 training and three different courses under one umbrella including Querying SQL, Administering SQL Databases, and Implementing a Data Warehouse using SQL Server.
The SQL training is allowing Steve to better serve his existing customers and gives him the skill sets he needs in order to win SQL contracts based on being able to deliver business intelligence reporting capabilities. He has decided he needs to study the material and use it in the field before sitting for his certification exam in SQL, but he feels the training was very helpful in learning the material. I was able to learn technology, face to face, from experts in their fields, Steve said. He was also grateful for the information he received about the class, saying that the link to the website was just the training he needed and wanted. Steve will also be taking additional coursework in SQL at NetCom Learning to continue to keep his skills current.

Industry: Metals & Mining::Steel Production
The USS-POSCO steel finishing plant is owned and operated by USS-POSCO Industries (UPI), a joint venture company established by U. S. Steel Corporation and POSCO, of the Republic of Korea.
The first Pittsburgh steel facility opened in 1910 as a 60-man foundry under the name Columbia Steel. Consisting of one building and a single 150-ton open hearth, the plant furnished steel castings for the dredging, lumber and shipping industries.
Today, UPI manufactures cold rolled, galvanized and tin mill products from hot rolled steel. With the support of nearly 1,000 hourly and salaried employees, UPI ships steel daily to more than 150 customers, primarily in the thirteen western states.
Business Needs:
The need arose when [USS-POSCO] management decided to purchase a third party software package for HR & Payroll. As a traditional IBM Mainframe COBOL and Java shop, they needed to ensure that the new applications would integrate seamlessly with the existing legacy and Java applications. The new software was developed in the Microsoft .NET 3.5 platform, and at the time of purchase they had no formal training in Microsoft Development Tools and Platforms.
USS-POSCO looked around for public courses and found that either there were no suitable courses available or those that were offered publicly conflicted with their work schedules.
Solution:
NetCom quickly delivered a complete private training solution to USS-POSCO's doorstep in Pittsburgh, PA.
"NetCom's solution was perfect from the quality of the courseware, delivery and timely schedule stand point. After an initial consultation with a NetCom representative, we were able to understand each other and quickly came up with a plan of execution for customized courses in a very tight schedule. As all the students were experienced programmers, we wanted our training to be concise and compact. After further discussions with the potential trainers and consultants, a course detail was drawn up, and we had a chance to review the course outline before approving it. The training courses were conducted on site and our employees were happy not having to travel. The all inclusive cost was just right. We are happy to say that the training course was delivered by a well experienced and competent instructor."
USS-POSCO was able to gain the necessary skills to complement their programming knowledge and facilitate a successful transition into the Microsoft Development Tools and .NET platforms.
NetCom was able to service the needs of USS-POSCO within their tight schedule, by condensing a great deal of knowledge into 4 days of intensive, customized training. Because the students were experienced programmers they were able to dictate and thrive in this fast pace.
NetCom provided an experienced instructor and shipped all authorized course materials to USS-POSCO. Since the employees did not have to travel, there was minimal down-time and maximum Return on Investment.
"After four very intense days of learning, we feel that we have gained a great deal. Thank you."

Business Needs:
Gold Bridge Partners IT development team had been developing business log for years in middle tear application components developed in application languages such as Java, Perl, PHP, ASP/VB and .NET. In a recent project they included as much business logic as possible in the database (DB2 PL/SQL). They were considering developing their business logic more at the database level in the future, specifically for upcoming SQL Server / .NET projects. We want to be sure we are aware of best practices for coding T-SQL stored procedures and triggers and what unexpected issues or pitfalls we might be up against. We have many years experience developing software and some years experience writing T-SQL. We just want to make sure we know what we're doing before we try to write the entire business logic layer in T-SQL. We want to bring our already experienced developers to the EXPERT level. said Jonathan Williams, IT development manager for Gold Bridge.
Solution:
Since the intended audience was a very advanced group of SQL users, NetCom created a custom onsite training class for them using Microsofts MCITP SQL 2005 advanced Business Intelligence Program. NetComs subject matter expert (SME) created a custom plan for them making sure the custom training gave enough time to make the training effective.

The training went very well. We are pleased. James (our SME) was both fun and informative. The training that we have received has aided us greatly in our development efforts said Jonathan. With NetComs database training, they were able to develop their business logic at the database level effectively.
"We need to learn more about Great Plains and the different options we have to extend its functionality" said Hugo Lopez, Training coordinator of Universidad de las Americas Puebla. UDLA had implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) but was having problems with its implementation as people in their IT department were not trained in GP. UDLA started looking for GP training in Mexico but was unsuccessful in finding the training to satisfy their needs. When UDLA contacted NetCom, they wanted to send two people to US for the Dynamics GP training.
Solution:
Universidad de las Americas Pueblas goal was to gain the in-depth knowledge to customize and implement Microsoft Dynamics GP using Dexterity. Since there was no official courseware for Dexterity, NetCom created custom training as per their needs. NetCom also provided them custom training at their site in Mexico where they could train a group of employees. This also helped them circumvent immigration issues with their employees getting VISA to the US.NetCom sent a bilingual (English and Spanish speaking) GP instructor to run the custom class for them. The training went on for three weeks and was very successful. "My Team and I are very happy with the training and with the instructor (hes a person who really knows a lot about the product). This training is going to be very useful in the projects that we are working on. We are so happy, that we are interested in some additional training" said Hugo. UDLA also requested BizTalk Server training for econnect. Again, NetCom created another custom plan for econnect training which was conducted over eight days.
Universidad de las Americas Pueblas IT department had already implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP as an (ERP) but now they were able to use its full functionality. They were very satisfied with the whole training and were able to customize Microsoft Dynamics GP and integrate it with the other applications with associated technology. They were also able to integrate econnect with BizTalk very efficiently.
