The Company VantagePoint Software was incorporated in 1992. While our primary focus is consulting and helping companies manage their development projects, we have also been deeply involved with developing tools and components to assist in database connectivity and application development. VantagePoint Software has leveraged its founders' technical expertise with MultiValued (Pick-based) systems by building a product to extend the useful life of MultiValue legacy code and data. This has resulted in the introduction of the mvComponents Suite of tools.

Associated with VantagePoint
Software are a number of highly trained and qualified independent
consultants and organizations that provide products and services based
on the technology and application designs first developed at
VantagePoint Software. Through this growing network of
"Vantage" based resources, more and more companies are finding
new ways to manage the challenges associated with modern software
development.
Also associated with mvComponents are a number of technologies and development environments that are part of today's client/server and Web-based development. To assist our clients in understanding and in effective use of these disparate technologies we have developed an extensive set of course material to introduce and build necessary competency. We focus on the most recent software solutions in use throughout the corporate world. We have leveraged our uncompromising quality of training with expert instructors whose training evaluations and experience in the private sector, are second to none. Our quality and delivery of training services has been used by a number of companies over the last several years. Our Training Services We provide in-house and on-site language and application development training for both Windows and Linux/UNIX environments. Our unique professional and personal approach takes advantage of courseware, client knowledge and needs, and the most modern development environments. Our staff stands ready for special assignments and requests for unique requirements. Our People Our consultants all come from consulting backgrounds, possess product implementation experience, and excel both functionally and technically. As seasoned professionals, our consultants have attained their personal and professional success by years of hands on experience and training. We have access to exclusive trainers who have averaged over 15 years of experience in state of the art software and hardware and who provide our clients with the most experienced and respected training anywhere. Our Courses The course material that we have put together is geared to those with a background in MultiValue database management systems and software development. The purpose for these courses is to build on existing "Pick" competency and add the necessary knowledge to comfortably and effectively work with modern client/server and Web-based technologies. We have broken our main training into two sessions that are a week long each. The first session is a five day beginning course on database systems, client programming environments, object-oriented programming, component development, and an overview of the components and tools associated with mvComponents. The second session is a six day advanced course that includes a review of object-oriented programming, component development environments, interface-based programming, building component servers, distributed application design and development, Web application development, and Web Services and SOAP. We also have a separate three day advanced course on the tools, utilities, and components that comprise mvComponents Suite, and a five-day course that introduces ASP Web application development. All our courses include several labs or workshops where students will have ample opportunities to practice principals learned and have hands on experience with useful programming projects. Information on Training Training is scheduled as needed and is typically held at the client’s site. Usually a month advanced notice is required in scheduling a training session. It is the responsibility of the client to provide an adequate training facility. Attending students are required to provide their own computer systems for lab exercises and hands-on programming experience. VantagePoint Software will provide a projector system and screen for course material presentation. When training is arranged for, one of our qualified consultant/trainers will be assigned to travel to the clients location. Any number of students from a client may participate. All courses include an on-line reference manual and course guide in HTML Help format for future reference. A PDF version that can provide printed hard copies is also available in addition to the on-line HTML Help format. Training fees for one of our consultant/trainers is $120.00 per hour. In addition to actual training time, there is a charge for the trainer's travel time at $60.00 per hour, plus travel expenses including airfare, car rental, hotel, and meals. Current
