New Consulting Workshops: Get the Most out of Vision in 2021

In 2020, we all had to pivot and change how we worked almost overnight. While we adapted to our new normal and modified work arrangements quickly, we still wanted to ensure we were able to deliver helpful learning and training opportunities to fit your firms adjusting needs. That’s why we virtualized the popular Deltek Consulting Workshops to bring you the best of our consulting expertise in the comfort of your remote working space.

Additionally, our Vision clients can choose to participate in the Vantagepoint focused workshops as well.  Doing so will help the participant to get more familiar with the new platform and help get your firm ready for the upgrade.

Here’s the current lineup of Vision focused workshops and dates so that you and your team can plan accordingly.

2021 Vision Consulting Workshops

Several example workflows will be demonstrated and reviewed, with plenty of time for attendees to create their own workflows, ask questions, and troubleshoot during the session.
