Technology and the data that it both collects and makes accessible is now interwoven with businesses and lives. The era of "big data" has exploded due to the rise of cloud computing, which provides an abundance of computational power and storage, enabling organizations of all sorts to capture and store data. Leveraging that data effectively can provide timely insights and competitive advantage. Analyzing data to find issues, insights, and opportunities is now a critical part of many job roles. Beyond the analysis, data analysts in all job roles must be able to effectively present and communicate their findings in visually compelling ways. Microsoft Excel is designed for this purpose. Excel can connect to a wide range of data sources, perform robust data analysis, and create diverse and robust data-driven visualizations to show insights and trends, as well as create reports. These capabilities enable people who use Excel for data analysis to turn data into thoughtful action.

This first course will take the attendees from the creating of a Foxit PDF, into editing, and then delivering the documents.

There are many authors of PDF documents that want to take their knowledge of FOXIT to the next level.   This course will allow those authors to become professionals in the FOXIT product.

This one-day course will provide attendees with the skill set to be able to create simple to complex forms using Foxit Editor.  Attendees will learn the ‘how’ and maybe the more important the ‘why’ to create forms.  Students will be provided will a series of documents that they will review before sending to Foxit to be made into workable, sensible, concise and accurate PDF forms

As data acquisition, access, analysis, and reporting are interwoven with our businesses and lives, more and more data is collected about business and personal activities. This abundance of data and the computing power to analyze it has increased the use of data analysis and data visualization across a broad range of job roles. Decision makers of all types, including managers and executives, must interact with, interpret, and develop reports based on data and analysis provided to them. Microsoft Power BI software is designed for data analysis and the creation of visualizations. Data analysts prepare data, perform initial analysis, and create visualizations that are then passed to business data decision makers. These decision makers can use Power BI's tools to explore the data, perform further analysis to find new insights, make decisions, and create customized reports to share their findings.

A one-day, hands-on workshop for business analysts that covers the full capabilities of Power BI.
