I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot from this live virtual course - it is very well thought out / structured and presented brilliantly by Guido who reinforced the course materials with lots of real-world examples. I also found it very valuable in the sense that as a class, further real-world examples from the various students participating were also added into the mix. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone in a CM function/role and I'm really looking forward to part 2 (CM2-02).

A few years ago I asked Ray Wozny from the Institute of Configuration Management if there was a shorter training for me, because I had 15 years of CM experience at the time. Surely I don’t need to go through the full length of training to get CMII certified? He replied that there is no shortcut, as CMII is quite different from traditional CM. At that time I thought that this was a statement to sell more training, but now that I have gone through the CMII Basic training (CMII-01 ... -04), I have to say he was right. CMII is a whole different dimension from traditional CM and I am happy to have gone through the training as it is.

For us at Atos as System Integrator, we use the best-in-class processes and products that fit a company's PLM business challenges and ambitions. CMII/IPE courses gave us a common understanding on how to do match CM activities with the usage of PLM systems. We apply many of the CMII/IPE principles as a 'single point of reflection' in our day-to-day consulting work with different type of customers in the discrete manufacturing industry.

CMII helped me and my organization understand why it is important to be more in control. CMII provides a set of principles which allows you to use what is necessary for your organization within the framework of Configuration Management. It has created awareness and changed the mindset of people who work with CM in my organization; reduced corrective action and increased benefits.

In our Configuration Management we were looking for a method that would help us to improve the efficency of our processes in order to accommodate changes faster and increase transparency for our colleagues. What we learned in the CMII Courses regarding configuration and process management exactly was what we were looking for. Now our documentation is more clear, concise and valid - corrective action costs were reduced down to a minimum amount.

We now recognise the CMII training as our professional Configuration Management training, and GfKM is now established as our preferred training provider. Change Control is the area that we have primarily focussed on to begin with, as we establish the process across the company. Over 80% of change is now approved using a fast track process, with significant time savings recognised. This has been a large shift culturally, but one we continue to push forward. As our CM presence grows from within the company we continue to identify opportunities to employ CMII as the solution, gaining recognition on the way at ever increasing levels. The CMII training and continued support has proven to be an excellent starting point for us to move forward.

Perfect organized trainings for teaching the CMII philosophy. The course material is well structured and easy to understand. Instructors are very competent and are giving students enough freedom for discussion and networking. Several different CMII training modules, each with specific priorities, make it possible to plan training and education activities individual per employee.
