Benefits of online courses learning:
In traditional classrooms you will get to listen the lecture only once but here you can rewind it and see till the time you understands it.
Timing schedule to study Online courses
You can learn whenever you like. You can learn for 60 mins to 1 1/2 hrs on a day. Since the materials are available 24x7x360 days, you don’t have to wait for the instructors to come as you do in the traditional classrooms.
Online courses educational and professional background
You get to meet people from different part of the world with different educational & professional background. For instance you will get the chance to meet people working for WIPROs, Infosys, IBMs and people from US, Canada, UK etc.
Queries in Online courses
If you have a doubt you can reach out to all your classmates and the instructors by sending a single message. Our Support team available at 24/7.
Save Money in studying Online courses
The best part is you can save lot of time and money. You can learn it from where ever you like. Need not to travel to the institution you can sit at home and learn.
Survey report:Online courses vs Traditional learning
Recently US Department of Education has come up with a survey in comparison with online and traditional learning.  Students in online courses learn more than those in traditional college classrooms, according to researchers.

Informatica

Informatica Powercenter Course Outline

Some of the highlights of Informatica:
  1. Informatica grew 18% for 5 years in a row.
  2. Informatica CEO- Sohaib reviewed 5 trends that are change people to focus beyond the data warehouse; Globalization, Consolidation, Growth, Operational Efficiency, and Governance.
  3. the demand for cloud solutions will continue to grow. Cloud and on-premise tools will exist and work together and Informatica will provide tools to control to manage both.
  4. Informatica now has a community site with an IdeaExchange just like D&B360 Ideas. It’s actually the same Salesforce.com tool we use at D&B.
  5. Informatica showed a new marketplace which was referred to as the Informatica cloud mall. Similar to AppExchange from SFDC but different. They have these things called Blocks. A block is nothing more than a page or a place holder. Using blocks Informatica can promote solutions built by Informatica Partners. Users can search, download, and purchase apps or add-ons.
