Agilent EEsof EDA Customer Education: Productivity Gains
Through Effective Training

Training Enhances Engineering Productivity
If your engineering workgroup is typical, the biggest single cost is people: salaries and benefits. In a group of ten engineers, "people costs" generally exceed $1 million annually, $20,000 a week.
Training saves money
This is why training can be your best money-saver, year after year. Training is an investment in people: in your people and their productivity. In a typical 10-person workgroup, even a five or ten percent increase in personal productivity can be worth thousands of dollars a year, every year.
Practical design skills
This is especially true when the focus of training is practical design skills: tips and techniques that engineers can use right away, and that they can keep on using whenever their main task is design.
Trained designers are more effective
Trained designers know many ways to solve a problem, not just one. They can and do choose the most effective solution based on the design challenge at hand. Untrained designers are lucky when they find a solution . . . any solution.
Trained designers come back to a software design tool weeks or even months later and pick up where they left off. They can do this because they have learned the underlying principles of the software. Untrained designers users must learn everything from scratch each time. Instead of principles, they only know steps, recipes that must be memorized over and over again.
Learn from experts
When you learn from experts, you become an expert yourself, able to help others in their day-to-day design tasks. Trained users return to their workgroups able to help others as well as themselves. This benefit of training is often overlooked.
Agilent EEsof EDA tailors training to your needs
Training does much more than make individuals more productive. It makes whole groups more productive. For maximum effectiveness, training must be realistic, available, and easy to come back to. Agilent EEsof EDA training meets these needs.
Agilent EEsof EDA training is available for Advanced Design System (ADS) and IC-CAP. The focus is always on practical design tasks and working examples.
