B&L Hosts Odyssey Classes

 

Bridgman, Michigan, January 30, 2018 – B&L Information Systems, global leader in ERP for metalcasters, has announced the 2018 Odyssey Boot Camp and Crystal Reports the class list for Odyssey users. Additionally, B&L will be hosting several specialty classes over the summer as well as Spectrum, the Odyssey users’ conference, in the fall.

Crystal Reports is a commonly used platform which expands the reach of data. B&L offers quarterly Odyssey Crystal Reports classes to help Odyssey users in: creating basic reports using data from Odyssey; modifying existing Odyssey reports to create new Odyssey reports; as well as to navigate and understand the Odyssey database structure. Crystal Reports classes will be hosted at the B&L office on: February 5^th – 6^th, May 23^rd – 24^th, August 16^th - 17^th, and November 7^th – 8^th.

Odyssey Boot Camp is ideal for getting new staff off to a productive start or to transition staff over to Odyssey’s Web User Interface (UI). Over the course of two days, B&L implementation trainers demonstrate hands-on methods used to work in the Odyssey ERP system and assist students with company-specific questions, as well as provide a high-level overview of the integration of the entire Odyssey software system. All classes are taught using Odyssey’s browser-based Web UI. Odyssey Boot Camp will be hosted: February 7^th – 8^th, May 21^st – 22^nd, August 14^th - 15^th, and November 5^th – 6^th.

In early summer, B&L will also be hosting two on-site classes aimed at helping current Odyssey users do more with their Odyssey ERP system:

• Web Transition is a two-day session hosted April 11^th – 12^th focused on helping the administrators of current Windows Odyssey companies’ transition to Odyssey’s new Web User Interface.
• Inventory Control is a one-day class hosted July 25^th with a focus on maximizing the tools within Odyssey that help with maintaining inventory records.

B&L’s annual users’ conference, Spectrum, will be in Nashville, Tennessee on September 16^th – 18th. During this conference, B&L's expert staff leads classes on a variety of Odyssey and related software topics at the largest gathering of metalcasting ERP users in the country. Designed to give users a "taste" fo different areas and functions fo the Odyssey ERP software, the Spectrum conference is planned with ample industry networking time.

New for 2018, B&L will also be hosting a special one-day Executive Conference on May 24^th. Designed for C-level management at Odyssey using companies, this event will include on-site discussions with B&L senior management and networking time at the Senior PGA Tournament.

Due to space limitations, advanced registration is required for all hands-on classes. Registration information for all B&L classes and Spectrum may be found in the Educational area of the website.
