The self study guide is meant for consultants who want to get trained on the CXO-Cockpit technology. The guide contains training steps for configuring and maintaining the CXO-Cockpit web application with data coming from Hyperion Financial Management. This training uses a sample data set.
Prerequisites
The scope does not include the installation of the software, because this is normally not a consultant or CXO-Cockpit Captain activity (CXO Solutions or one of its partners usually takes care of that). The CXO-Cockpit software and required 3rd party tools are installed on a VMware training drive. Having this training drive is a prerequisite for going through the self study, as well as the following points:
You have a laptop with a minimum of 2GB of internal memory (otherwise the performance will not be good enough to run the entire training environment which also includes HFM and other 3rd party tools)
You have a copy of the Training drive on your local or USB drive (we recommend to keep the original drive in tact for demonstrations and trainings for colleagues)
You have a correct version of the VMware Player (3.1.2 or higher) installed on your Host system (usually a laptop)
Your company has a valid subscription contract or partner contract
You have a valid License Key (please contact CXO Solutions if you do not have one)
