You know your business

EC Workshops will help you understand the electronic tools, terms and
concepts needed to successfully compete in today's  business world. 

 

Company Specific Workshops:

Educational opportunities include webinars or on-site workshops customized specifically for your company.  They can be further refined according to the business
or technical nature of your audience.

Classes Open to the Public:

Classes are either half day or all day.  We start with the basics and end with case studies plus the most recent changes in EPC, RFID and EDI* standards based on  updates from the GS1 (EAN.UCC) committees doing the work. 

 

Webinars on RFID, GTIN and Sunrise 2005  

 

Webinars

EC Workshops gives webinars for $200.00 per hour, plus a $20 per person fee.  Your company provides the teleconferencing account and you may invite as many attendees as you wish.  Webinars are an excellent way of providing interactive learning for your associates.  No travel expense or hours away from the office.  Because they include only your company associates, there is no need to worry about the questions they might ask in front of your customers, suppliers or competitors. 

Custom Workshops

On-site workshops are given for your company, at your company.  They can  target specific groups - senior management, business managers, and technical personnel.  You define your objectives and select the topics for discussion.  Talk business with the business managers in the morning, and technical with the IT folks in the afternoon.  Then bring them all together for some interactive problem solving.  EC Workshop's hourly rate is $125.00, with an eight hour minimum, plus travel expenses.
