When I first started exploring Einstein Analytics+ (otherwise known as EA+), I wasn't really sure where to start. From navigating Analytics Studio to shaping my data, I felt like I was lost in a world of dashboards! That's when I decided to attend one of our Einstein Analytics+ Academies.
An EA+ Academy is a free, hands-on, learning experience for Analytics customers. We send our seasoned EA+ experts around the world to get our customers started on their analytics journeys. An Academy can be anywhere from one to two days, covering EA+ Basic (beginner to intermediate), EA Advanced (advanced), or ED Advanced (intermediate).
After two days of a deep dive into the navigation, dashboard properties, and compare tables, I was hooked, and I know you will be too. So, here are the Top 6 Reasons to Attend an EA+ Academy this year!
1. Jumpstart your EA+ Journey
Like I said- getting started can be tough! By joining along in one of our academy courses, you are led by a seasoned, analytics expert. This means your questions are answered on the spot and any hiccups that you might run into along the way can be uncovered and solved. Analytics are intricate, but there are endless possibilities about how data can change the way your organization operates. Hear about how Analytics can transform your business this year from our very own Analytics SVP & GM- Ketan Karkhanis!
2. Learn the Latest Release
The ACE Team (Analytics Center for Excellence) is responsible for teaching and creating curriculum for our Academy program. This means, we have some of the leaders and best maintaining our learning material to reflect release updates and changes. We thoughtfully craft exercises and team activities to help you navigate the EA+ Platform, as well as updates to the Salesforce Platform. Spring '19 Release details are being shared and taught in academies all over the world!

3. Visualize Your Passions and Data
Have you ever seen your data perfectly visualized in a beautiful chart or table? Ugh. What a feeling. During my academy session, I learned how to utilize dashboard properties to build visualizations of my data. Of course, this turned into making a whole dashboard about something I love- PIE!
By collecting data on the ingredients I used and the ratings that my colleagues gave the pies, I was able to see how cost and rating combined could give me the data on which pie was the best value in terms of cost and rating!
Yum or YUM. Am I right?
4. Free Trainings, All Over the World
Did I mention that our academy sessions are FREE?! Yep, you heard it here first. We offer our customers top-of-the-line training at no cost to make sure that you are getting the absolute most out of EA+. Need we say more?
Oh, right. Swag and food provided 😉
5. Hands-On Exercises
Our Analytics documentation is AMAZING, but we are ready to dive in with you- head first! Our curriculum is packed with hands-on exercises. With a seasoned analytics expert guiding the way, you'll walk through use cases, simulations, and mini-projects to see how Einstein Analytics+ functions for you.
From updating color themes on your dashboard to perfecting your faceting skills, our learning material is jam-packed with exercises to complete in class and on your own (c'mon, we need to challenge you a bit!).
