Thanks Lisa. Since DataWarehouse Administration & Building Custom Reports target an organization's CA PPM support staff, these are probably best left as stand alone classes - no need for CAPA content here. Advanced Reporting's Ad-Hoc capability is different. This is a feature to be used by our business users, something every organization will want all their Project Managers, Resource Managers and other Power Users to become proficient in. This needs a CAPA module the same as today's Project Management, Resource Management, Financials, etc.
During our CAPA sales cycle we were told CAPA content for Advanced Reporting's Ad Hoc capability was forthcoming & this was the deciding factor in our purchase. We knew we had this new feature coming at us & we've been banking on this module to help roll out and support the new capability. *I* sold my organization on CAPA, the Premium Content and the annual maintenance as a means to 'plug in' CA Education's Knowledge for my customers - the business users of CA PPM. If I go back to my organization and say "Sorry! You know that thing CA said they were gonna have for us? They're not - they say we should send hundreds of user through a $1000 class instead" - I'm out of a job.
It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't have to be comprehensive. It simply has to be 'good enough' that my users can find their way around the features like every other module. CA PPM doesn't manage projects - people manage projects. The CAPA Project Management module doesn't show them 'how to manage a project' - it shows them what the features do so they can manage their projects. I need the same in a CAPA module for Advanced Reporting.
We need this & we're not alone. Other will need this as well. This is a revenue opportunity - don't leave it on the table. I'll gladly make myself available to chat with whomever about whatever in order to help support this. We bought the ticket - my users are relying on CA Education to deliver this.
Let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks!
