July 24-26, 2006 TCS Training Recap

Summertime in Madison, and another training session was held at the Inn on the Park. Again, we held concurrent Basic and Advanced classes. Both seminars are packed full of product updates, programming details, and live demonstrations.

In all of our training sessions, we combine individualized experience with the TCS product line and a thorough introduction to our latest software solutions.

TCS Onsite Training - Berg Inc - Shreveport, LA

Berg Inc - Shreveport, LA

On July 13th and 14th, TCS Basys Controls was privileged to take our Basic Training Seminar on the road to Berg Inc. in Shreveport, LA. The temperatures were hot, the humidity high, and the southern hospitality plentiful.

In our onsite training seminars, we tailor the curriculum to meet the specific needs of the group hosting the event. In this case, Berg Inc. has been a customer for many years. They were looking for a refresher for their veteran installers and a to bring the "new guys" up to speed. With this group in mind, we reviewed all of the TCS hardware and completed a thorough tutorial of our latest software solution, Ubiquity v3.0. We also discussed the key benefits to a TCS Basys Controls system, and the typical ROIs and operational savings achieved by our customers achieve. As in our Madison, WI based trainings, all attendees learn through supervised instruction and personal "hands-on" experience how to handle routine tasks, as well as sophisticated programming through the Ubiquity Interface.

• Controller Selection and Application
