DesignMerge® Training Packages
Professional software training and services
Package 1— Web-based TrainingOne-on-one training! A DesignMerge® expert leads an online training session that covers common features while offering insights and tips for the selected output driver. The trainee actually “drives” the software while the instructor guides the process (the online meeting software provides this capability). A single trainee receives the focus of the training, thereby creating an “in-house DesignMerge expert”. The training is based on the tutorials that are included in the DesignMerge software package |

Package 2— Web-based Training + First-job Setup
Building on Package 1, Package 2 adds a measure of confidence for the client’s first application of the DesignMerge software. Following initial training (as described in Package 1), the client provides Meadows Publishing Solutions all of the elements for a variable data printing job. (These files can be uploaded to the Meadows FTP site.) Within a minimum of two business days of receiving the required files, Meadows will return the document, linked and processed by DesignMerge, along with the DesignMerge DDF (Database Definition) for the database file and a PDF proof of 25 merged data records. The final merge will be executed by the client. Additionally, a DesignMerge expert will schedule a second online training session based upon this job. The scope of training is defined by the job, with a maximum online instruction time of two hours.
Package 3— One-day On-site Installation & Training
Instruction is held on-site at the client’s premises with particular emphasis on integrating DesignMerge into the client’s production workflow. A DesignMerge expert leads a training session that covers all available features while offering insights and tips for the selected output driver. This training has been designed to create one or two “in-house DesignMerge experts”. The training is based on the DesignMerge tutorials and manuals, with a maximum instruction time of eight hours. Time remaining past the standard training can be dedicated to customer job preparation and related questions.
Travel and expenses are billed separately.
Additional days on-site available at a discounted rate.
Web Refresher Course & Consulting
This package is designed to assist users who have not worked with DesignMerge in a while, or who wish to discuss DesignMerge issues that fall outside of their standard support coverage. The user may elect for the basic refresher course, or simply utilize the session to “pick the brain” of a DesignMerge expert. The sessions is conducted on-line and via tele-conference, with a maximum session time of one hour.
