ERwin Times 
February 2010                           ERwin Newsletter                 Focused on ERwin

The final months of 2009 were very busy ones for Sandhill. Here in Europe we put on ERwin training courses in Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen, attended the Danish and Benelux ERwin User Groups and also ran our annual UK ERwin User Conference. Our north American colleagues also completed a 5 city ERwin road show.

The response to all our events has been excellent and feedback from attendees was that they were delighted with the topics and content. Something of which Sandhill is very proud.

In our most recent newsletter we again follow up with information that we believe the ERwin Community (worldwide) would be interested in.

With the new Data Warehouse Corner, news on CA World and Tips and Techniques we again have a very full newsletter for our readers.

We hope you enjoy reading this newsletter and if you have a question or topic you would like to see us cover in more detail, feel free to email us at Sandhill.

As of the publication the current version of ERwin is V7.3.8 service pack 2 (build 2235). If you would like a copy of this build and your software is under maintenance, please let us know.

Regards

Training Courses a Great Success in Nordic Region

During November and December 2009 Sandhill ran public training courses at Arrow ECS premises in the Nordic Capitals. We are very grateful to Arrow ECS for working with us to provide the premises. Our senior consultant Terry Troddyn gave the following courses:
  • Introduction to ERwin Course
  • ERwin Intermediate  Course
  • Complete Compare Course
  • ERwin ODBC Interface Course
From the feedback we received the courses were highly praised and were just what was required. Terry enjoyed meeting all the delegates and being able to wear his winter clothing!

We hope to run further courses during 2010 at other locations in Europe so if you missed out this time and want to book ahead for the next courses then please let us know by emailing:
