"There are several reasons I would recommend Ketels Contract Training.

First, Ketels Contract Training is discreet and professional.  My company’s database contains proprietary information and calculations on which the company’s niche business depends.  Ketels Contract Training came prepared with non-disclosure paperwork and would have “worked around” sensitive information if necessary.

Second, the very knowledgeable database trainer, Elizabeth Wilson, will work with a timeframe that suits the trainee’s work schedule and amount of time dedicated by management to database development.  What worked well for our company was meeting with Elizabeth 2-3 times a week and receiving “homework” for the days not scheduled.   

Third, rather than hiring a full time database administrator, our company could train an existing employee in database development and maintenance. That employee is in position to keep the application evolving to meet changing needs.

Finally, the trainee is taught “best practices” in database development and how to “map out” the application.  So, no matter when or how our database application evolves, the foundation it rests on is both solid and readily comprehendible.

As a business that has utilized Ketels Contract Training, I can relay some advice to those considering it:

• First, be prepared with a “map” of what you want the database to look like, how it interacts with the user, and what data you would like it to display.  Ketels Contract Training does not waste any time and will very quickly begin development of the database based on your “map”.  The more thought on the front end, the shorter the development timeframe.

• Second, a user-friendly database that is capable of growth takes time to develop.  Ketels Contract Training can give you an estimate of how much time development will take.  Make sure you allow enough time and resources to your project.

Our completed database has saved the company a great deal of time affording our employees more time dedicated to growing the company.  When the time comes to upgrade, it will be a much quicker process.  Most importantly, our customers are pleased with the speed and turnaround time of their reports."
