Alchemex is the leading developer, enabler and support-provider of affordable Excel-based business intelligence software. Its powerful "Excel on Steroids" workshops offer in-depth and experiential coverage of key Microsoft Excel functionality for enhanced business reporting, productivity and decision-making.
With a training network countrywide as well as an online offering, Alchemex Training has improved efficiencies for users worldwide for over five years.
"With over 10 000 customers using Alchemex's business intelligence software and 3 500 training delegates to date, we have created a great pool of 'researchers' for our Excel on Steroids workshops," says Bron Dorrofield, Alchemex's Training Manager.
"Let me explain - our Excel on Steroids workshops are the outcome of the many questions we have answered over the years about using MS Excel as a business reporting tool. We consider ourselves to be 'the' experts in business intelligence in Excel; specifically, we aim to save our clients' time and money by helping them to become more efficient and accurate when compiling business reports in Excel."
Linka Lubbe, the Financial Controller of Jost South Africa, agrees: "I was able to finalise our quarterly stock take three hours earlier than normal just because I was able to work through the data so much quicker."
Alchemex's latest commitment to remaining the leader in BI in Excel is its recent investment in developing new Excel on Steroids workshops for MS Excel 2007, both classroom-based and online. The specialised training programme takes the delegate through Formulas & Functions, Data lists & Macros and PivotTables & PivotCharts, while focusing on some of the value-added functionality in MS Excel 2007 which allows for significantly improved business reporting capability, including:
* A more interactive creation of PivotTables and easy-to-use ribbons for modifying PivotTables.
* Applying conditional formatting to information more easily to discover patterns and highlight trends in data.
* Added features such as icon sets, data bars and colour scales.
Alchemex also offers a "Stepping up to 2007" workshop for clients that have already attended the Excel on Steroids 2003 workshops.
"Our first of many accolades came from Shaun Albert from Momentum Africa's finance department, who found that the Excel on Steroids 2007 workshops 'exceeded his expectations and will contribute towards his efficiencies in reporting and enhance the presentation of his reports in Excel'," says Dorrofield.
Clients' learning experience does not end with the workshops; Alchemex believes its growth and success will be driven by developing a loyal customer base. Sean Elliott, Alchemex Director, says: "We know our material is excellent, but a memorable Alchemex experience is what we strive for. From the initial contact with us and our pre-assessments, to our admin, booking and logistics, hosting of our delegates, course delivery by one of our 'Exclusive Trainers' Club' members and client feedback processes, we aim at creating an experience that our delegates can recommend to their colleagues and friends. Value-adds like our three-month Excel support, weekly Excel on Steroids tips and tricks, online assessments and unlimited access to our Alchemex Excel forum help to deliver what we like to call 'EX-factor'."
