InConcept, Inc. is proud to announce the following upcoming Object-Role Modeling (ORM) seminars in Minneapolis, MN.
Seminar Outline
This three-day seminar will focus on the use of ORM to correctly model your business data requirements. Each day also contains "hands on" labs where students practice the technique while ORM certified instructors give one-on-one assistance. This course is not tool-specific; rather it will teach students how to think about data modeling at a higher level and then map the results into whatever notation (e.g. IDEF1X, IE, Bachman, UML, other ER syntaxes, etc.) is used at their organization.
Testimonials
"A great introduction to the concepts and use of Object-Role Modeling taught by instructors with a wealth of knowledge in ORM." -- John Miller, Perpetual Data Systems
"As a rank amateur, I found the information to be extremely valuable. The topic was covered in a clear, concise manner.... As for [the instructors, they] are exceptionally knowledgeable, and able to pass on that knowledge." -- Joe Draheim, Customer FX
