Hands-On Lab

The best way to learn is with the guidance of a friendly tech guru sitting at your shoulder. That’s why our Hands-On Lab has always sold out. We extended the hours last year and added Informatica Professional Services consultants to the lab – still sold out. So we’re repeating this popular formula. Bring your most critical challenges and discuss them with our consultants and support specialists. It’s like a day of free consulting.
