Documentation allows them to reference all system functions offered by the platform. This is a combination of technical documentation for developers, and narrative-driven documentation for citizen-developers, this ensures that everyone, regardless of experience, can get up speed quickly. Secondly, we offer a follow up live training session which is carefully tailored applying the concepts in to a simple, business-relevant, use case. Finally, we run“Hyper-Support” sessions after the initial training session to iron-out any challenges that our clients face as they begin to develop.
