| This 5-day HP Openview course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will
assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of HPOV training.
They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s
name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made
to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even
if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you
into our “standard”, one size fits all, class. |
