Hi Jakob,
This training sounds fantastic! Me and a few colleagues could really use the this training and is in fact exactly what we are looking for.
We are planning a new automation solution with Azure Pack/SMA at out high-tech company in the Netherlands.
The planned dates are a bit to far in the future. I was wondering if it is possible to get a training earlier somewhere this year?
The training doesn’t have to be 100% perfect, so maybe we there is an option for a try-out training? Please let me know what is possible?
Best Regards,
Max Gaulhofer
