2 Why Choose CMPIC? Why choose CMPIC for your CM Training? CMPIC provides high quality, cost-effective, and the most up-to-date Configuration Management (CM) training & certification. Our goal is to assure that CM and related professionals attain a complete understanding of the CM landscape; from principles and processes to effective and efficient implementation techniques. CMPIC training examines all perspectives of CM rather than focusing on a single ideology. CMPIC will give you implementation options that meet industry requirements and are considered best industry practice. What is CMPIC s view on Industry Standards? CMPIC believes that industry standards for Configuration Management (ANSI/EIA-649, ISO 10007, etc.), Quality (i.e. ISO 9001), CMMI, ITIL and others form a solid foundation for configuration management process implementation. These are all very well written standards developed by people who care about configuration management and continuous improvement. This is why we will discuss industry requirements in our courses. Class approach: (1) know the requirements of the standards; (2) identify additional requirements that may be necessary but are not in the standards (such as automation, etc.); (3) learn the various implementation options and how to make them happen. How competitive is CMPIC s pricing? CMPIC courses are designed to be thorough yet concise, reducing time away from work. Public classes are held in many smaller to mid-size cities, typically resulting in lower accommodations expenditure. Onsite classes, offered at a discounted rate, are available for groups as small as five students. Finally, a quick search of the Internet will show you that our courses are competitively priced and our CM Principles & Implementation (Courses 1-4) is completed in just eight days, meaning less travel, and less time away from work. Student Testimonials: The detail of change management really helped me understand what is lacking in my work environment. Course 3 - CM Dynamics, January 19, 2011 I ve seen a few different CM presentations, all mostly consistent with each other. This course had more information, perspective, and insight than any other. Course 1 - CM Foundations, February 7, 2012 [Instructor] has shown ways to implement better CM processes in a way that makes sense to any auidence. Course 5 - CM for Software & IT Development, November 17, 2011 All courses provided what I think will help me with my job in terms of new ways and improvements to current processes. Course 4 - CM Implementation, October 27, 2011 I always knew we could do a better job but now I am more excited about the possibilities after discussions and lessons. So many opportunities... where to begin? Course 2 - CM Structures, November 10, 2010 I enjoyed the class and see the need to be a part of this process. My thought coming into this class was that it s common sense but I understand there s more importance behind the principle/application. Course 6 - ANSI/EIA-649, March 3, CMPIC CM Courses 02
