onDemand, a leading Business Intelligence and data warehousing consultancy has announced plans for a new DataStage project preparation course that will prepare qualified technical consultants for the rigors of intensive ETL projects while screening candidates who require additional training.

 In response to the many IBM InfoSphere/DataStage clients who have expressed concern over the ease and speed of finding qualified DataStage practitioners to contribute to critical data integration projects, onDemand is leveraging it's extensive experience in screening and mentoring high-performance consultants to help it's clients prepare their own teams for optimal delivery. 

Tight budgets and stringent procurement rules have forced many companies to leverage mass production staffing sources. One drawback has been the difficulty in locating, screening and on-boarding qualified practitioners that can make a rapid and positive impact on critical projects.  "We get hundreds of resumes and spend hours screening and interviewing candidates only to find 3 weeks into the project that we have made a mistake"  admits one manager of a large data warehouse project.   "Being able to leverage the keen eye and pragmatic knowledge of an expert consulting group will give us the confidence that we are fielding the right team for our these critical deliverables."

 onDemand's course offering will make use of real-world ETL problem sets using the latest InfoSphere software and will evaluate technical skills, problem solving, business acumen, and ability to work under pressure.  Pricing for the course will be available later this fall.
