education provides a thorough understanding of data and process modeling concepts
from a business point of view. We explain the 'why' as well as the 'how to', giving the student the larger picture of
how modeling pertains to business needs, not simply technology requirements.
Software Designs puts you ahead of the game, not just behind the mouse.

uses case studies and real-life examples to help students apply what they've
learned to their own environment. Most training vendors may teach you how to use the tools, but don't focus on teaching you
how to use your new knowledge to make an impact in your daily work. Our courses will enable you to understand the scope of
the tools and use them in the most efficient way possible. This approach empowers you to be successful immediately.
In addition to providing product training, each course also explains the advantages and return on investment of modeling
correctly using best practices. You won't find this essential knowledge with other training vendors.
