Courses can be customized (content / duration / place) to your real specific needs in order to ensure programs are even more job related and that new skills are immediately usable.
  • Expertise assistance Sometimes, training is a good start… But work on complex projects may require more : accessing an expert to raise questions or concerns, get particular advices to solve a difficult situation, gather benchmarks for a case to avoid common traps and take the right decision… This is exactly where experts NODE can help you along the way, and package assistance bricks (remote or on-site, on the spot, project based, or regular) to help you apply knowledge on your specific cases.
  • Consulting : Sometimes the need is even more specific and this is where errors can cost time, money, image loss… From early strategic stage where you need state of the art return of experience, data and facts coming from existing projects to take the right decisions up to deployment phase where the keywords become customer experience, adoption, usage boosting, our experts an ad-hoc teams can help you to avoid common traps and benefit from the most advanced best practices.
