With well-organized and well-presented materials, I was able to gain an extensive understanding of electronic commerce and electronic data interchange. In just two days, I learned everything from fundamentals to implementation.. A great course.”
Stanley Mitchell

“DISA’s EC/EDI seminar was highly recommended to me. After attending, I too have become a strong advocate for the course, which was overall top quality. The education I gained was easily applied because the expert instructors made it a point to tailor the subject matter to the needs of the class.”

“Excellent course; much, much was covered in this short time frame.”
Lucinda Brunson
Century Technologies, Inc.
“Upon making a commitment to implement EDI, our company recognized that an effective training program was essential to the success of the plan. Logic dictated that since DISA is responsible for administering the standards, it should offer the most comprehensive training program in the industry. Several NMHG employees attended off-site training presentations, and DISA worked with us to customize an on-site program. Each of the twenty-two managers and supervisors who attended the training was impressed with the content and quality. We feel the investment in DISA training paid dividends because the result was smooth implementation.”
