About BICG UniversityAbout BICG University

BICG University offers customers a fast-paced, implementation-focused education. Our ability to bring this unique value to themarketplace is rooted in three key differentiators:

Experienced FacultyBICG University faculty possesses a depth and breadth of knowledge that isunmatched amongst other BI training organizations. Each faculty member hasextensive experience in OBIEE deployments and data warehouse constructionwhich spans many business sectors. This means that students have access toreal-world examples and implementation insights, rather than a pre-producedtraining program delivered by instructors who lack practical OBIEE experience.Each instructor has a minimum of 3 years of OBIEE experience and 5 years of BIand Data Warehouse experience.

Relevant CurriculumBICG University courses have been designed after more than 280implementations of OBIEE across many different industries. These experienceshave been integrated into a real-world curriculum that emphasizes keydeployment success factors and best practices. Hands-on student participation iscentral to each course, giving students the opportunity to practice their new skillsin the classroom environment. Most importantly, students return to the workplacewith the tools, insights, and energy to stretch their OBIEE deployment to newlimits.

Proven MethodologyThe BICG University curriculum is closely tied to BICGs signature projectmethodology. Developed over many OBIEE implementations, this iterativeapproach to OBIEE deployments relies heavily on customer education throughoutthe projects duration. From server architects to end users, BICG University offerstargeted courses focused on optimizing OBIEE competencies before, during andafter the implementation.
