Objectives

Improve your knowledge of ACUMEN in some very practical and "hot" areas and gain day-to-day efficiency. Also meet other ACUMEN users in Paris, on a user-friendly and turnkey environment, allowing "hands-on" training sessions and fruitful exchanges.
Note that any training module can be replaced by an "AS YOU WISH" session, allowing you to meet a LOGIN Consultant for a customised training or a "QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS" session.

Delegates attending "Package 1" are not assumed to have any knowledge of ACUMEN (unless very superficial). Their background can be front or back office oriented; IT people who want to improve their knowledge of the functional part of the system are also welcome.
Delegates attending "Package 2" are assumed to have a standard knowledge of ACUMEN as well as financial theory.

Delegates are encouraged to ask questions and expose areas of particular interest.

Price: € 500 per person and day (not including travel and accommodation).

This is a three day session:

Day 1 is dedicated to the presentation of the new developments and enhancements between the old and new Acumen release of the client.
Day 2 and 3 are "Hands-on" training sessions of 3 hours each, on specific modules or instruments; there can be two sessions in parallel (functional and technical orientations), that can be mixed any way.
