I know I have not blogged in a while on EX (this will change in 2012), but I wanted to share some exciting news. The Xcelsius Gurus have joined forces with SAP Wispubs to do a 4-city Xcelsius Bootcamp tour (Chicago, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, and Copenhagen). We had a sold-out crowd in Chicago last week, and boy was it intense and fun! I seldom sell anything (including the fact that our consultants build the best Xcelsius dashboards in the industry), but after being a part of the first bootcamp I am encouraging all customers, who can get to 1 out of the 3 last bootcamps, to attend before we sell out again, as I’ve honestly not seen so much solid content in one 3-day Xcelsius boot camp. Best of all, if you read to the end we have a special gift just for those who sign up now from our community.
Here are 3 reasons why you should attend (IMO):
- Mico’s Part – In case you have never heard me speak, I love to rock the crowd. This is no different. I get to open the event by introducing all of the other speakers and also laying the foundation down on how to scope and plan one’s dashboards. The feedback I got form the first hour from a few attendees was simple: “This was worth the entire cost Mico”.
- Two Hands-On Sessions: It also features 2-hard core hands on sessions that include building a dashboard and using other exciting features in BI4.0 with SAP’s very own Matt Lloyd and Decision First Technologies, Chris Hickman
- World Class Speakers – fellow Xcelsius Gurus, Chris Hickman of Decision First Technologies (who is an SAP BusinessObjects ace and provides deep insight on all BOE related topics), Dr. Bjarne Berg of Comerit (who is an SAP BW and Xcelsius specialist), Matt Lloyd of SAP (not sure there is anyone who knows the Xcelsius platform better, we go back many years), Emily Mui of SAP (another old friend who handles the marketing of the product and has deep insight and answers for customers regarding the roadmap), then myself Mico Yuk (just the biggest Xcelsius groupie that ever lived)
- I must add the 100% Money-back Guarantee though I can assure you, NO ONE will use it. We had a 97% referral rate from the Chicago event!
- Much more – Panel discussions, Governance and Performance Tips
Here is a pic from the Chicago event, just so you can see how packed and intense these sessions were. Energy was amazing. Even I learned a few things!
Philadelphia is coming up in just 7-days and we are almost sold out. Same goes for Vegas as far as I know. As you know we always want to ensure our community is well taken care of.
