Hands-on Labs

IBM DB2 10.5 with BLU Acceleration: Analytics Made Easy - Michael Kwok

Michael Kwok is an excellent communicator, and his knowledge and expertise in this area made this hands-on lab invaluable. I appreciate Michael taking the time to answer my questions and his utmost care that I (as a customer) left the Lab session with everything I needed to come back and implement BLU in my business. Excellent job, Michael!

Hands-on labs are sadly under utilized… extremely high value. Courses are really good and many were offered.

IDUG, IBM Redbooks, Flashbooks => very easy to get good education about IBM products.

Education about the internals of the product – a clear differentiator for IBM. - Matt Huras. Double session… very detailed presentation.

Chris Eaton and his thorough competitive talks are great– he knows as a much about the competitors as he does about IBM.

Rav Ahuja with the BLU Acceleration for Cloud presentation. Very prepared.
