Integrator Says D-Tools Regional Training 'Worth Its Weight in Gold'
Chuck Breaux, president of Assurance AV Solutions, praises the comprehensive three-day D-Tools regional training in Atlanta as invaluable for dramatically improving his company's use of D-Tools System Integrator software—enabling streamlined processes, cleaner purchase orders, integration of Visio drawings, and overall business advancement since adopting the software in 2020.
It’s rare when an integrator can identify a single solution that makes a dramatic impact on the bottom line, but that’s exactly what Chuck Breaux, president of Assurance AV Solutions in Mandeville, La., says about his company’s use of D-Tools System Integrator (SI).
Assurance AV Solutions first adopted D-Tools SI back in 2020 when Breaux was looking for an industry-specific software solution that would help the company streamline its systems and processes. Prior to adopting D-Tools, Assurance AV Solutions simply printed out its offers to clients from Quickbooks, which really was not a refined proposal with a description of the project.
As part of adopting D-Tools SI, the team at Assurance AV Solutions received comprehensive training on the software, even sending some of its team to a D-Tools regional training event in Atlanta.
“There was an opportunity for us to go to Atlanta for an in-person, three-day training course. That was worth its weight in gold. If we had left after the first day, we would have gotten our money’s worth. The lessons that we learned there and are still implementing today have enabled us to spring so far ahead,” exclaims Breaux.
He specifically cites the company’s use of the Packages option in the software, the ability to create cleaner purchase orders, and integrate Visio drawings on every project.
Our 3-day regional training events are designed to elevate attendee's proficiency with the D-Tools System Integrator software. This hands-on workshop is tailored for both new and experienced users seeking to enhance their skills and optimize their use of this powerful platform. Each day concludes with a group discussion, synthesizing the day's learnings into best practices.
Our regional trainings also provide training credits for users looking to complete industry certifications. CEDIA CEU provider approved course includes 10.5 CEU’s and 10.5 RUs for AVIXA CTS and CTS-D certifications.
