About BICG University

BICG University offers customers a fast-paced, implementationfocused education. Our ability to bring this unique value to the marketplace is rooted in three key differentiators: Experienced Faculty
BICG University faculty possesses a depth and breadth of knowledge that is unmatched amongst other BI training organizations. Each faculty member has extensive experience in OBIEE deployments and data warehouse construction which spans many business sectors. This means that students have access to real-world examples and implementation insights, rather than a pre-produced training program delivered by instructors who lack practical OBIEE experience. Each instructor has a minimum of 3 years of OBIEE experience and 5 years of BI and Data Warehouse experience.

Relevant Curriculum
BICG University courses have been designed after more than 280 implementations of OBIEE across many different industries. These experiences have been integrated into a real-world curriculum that emphasizes key deployment success factors and best practices. Hands-on student participation is central to each course, giving students the opportunity to practice their new skills in the classroom environment. Most importantly, students return to the workplace with the tools, insights, and energy to stretch their OBIEE deployment to new limits.

Proven Methodology
The BICG University curriculum is closely tied to BICGs signature project methodology. Developed over many OBIEE implementations, this iterative approach to OBIEE deployments relies heavily on customer education throughout the projects duration. From server architects to end users, BICG University offers targeted courses focused on optimizing OBIEE competencies before, during and after the implementation.
