Integrate on Your Own

We offer Cicero training services to make our customers and partners self-sufficient users of Cicero. By attending our initial workshop, our goal is to have our customers use the integration toolset, Cicero Studio, to quickly create and modify their unified desktops as needed. Participants in the workshop learn how to integrate applications on the desktop through instructor-led discussion and hands-on, real life exercises. Participants walk out of training with product knowledge and a focused direction that will assist in the integration of desktop applications and ensure a successful implementation. Additional advanced training courses are offered and tailored to customer needs.

Integration Workshop Course Description

This three-day instructor-led class prepares the student for the design, implementation and deployment of real-world Cicero-based integration solutions. This class is intended primarily for those that will use Cicero to integrate desktop applications, but solution architects and project managers will also benefit from the content.
