That’s why Digital Gateway has created the New User E-ssentials, Online essentials, and Advanced essentials training programs.

While not recommended we are aware that some companies will send an employee to all new user essential courses during one week. We offer a word of caution here, e-automate is simple and easy to use but the sheer volume of information is near impossible for any one employee to handle and retain in one week. We recommend different users with different responsibilities attend the appropriate courses. This is the chance for your employees to learn your e-automate system inside and out, allowing you the maximum benefits your investment has to offer. Carefully select the employees to attend each course. Companies with e-automate trained professionals operating the system are sure to see productivity — and consequently, profitability — increase dramatically and rapidly.
