The
Fitzgerald Group opens new
Training Center at Brockton location
BROCKTON, MA, ISSUED FEBRUARY 25, 2002…If you have been wondering
about “getting a little more” out of your business or accounting
software, The Fitzgerald Group has the solution for you.
The
Fitzgerald Group, the region’s leading reseller and training/technical
support organization for MAS 90 and MAS 200 accounting and business
software, has opened a new Training Center.
The
all-new center offers state-of-the-art computer workstations and is
staffed by trained, certified instructors who are qualified to teach a
number of industry-specific software programs. In particular, the
Training Center will host a series of classes for MAS 90 and MAS 200,
the market leader in software for accounting, distribution,
manufacturing and business management applications for mid-sized
businesses.
The new
center will offer a series of classes to train businesses on how to
use the MAS 90 and MAS 200 software provided by Best. In addition to
these specific programs, instruction will be offered on a number of
other programs. To learn if a particular software program is included
in the Training Center schedule, call 508-583-9589. The Training
Center is located at 2 Commercial St., Sharon, MA 02067.
Michael
Fitzgerald, President of The Fitzgerald Group, said that the opening
of the Training Center came from increased demand for instruction.
“For many years, we have provided instruction at clients’ sites. Yet,
increasingly, many believe that there are advantages to sending a
group of their key staffers to training at the same time, and that is
a function better served by a training center.” He added, “With the
sophistication of today’s computers and software programs, it makes
sense to have the very best training possible to obtain maximum
efficiency from these programs.”
