"The pressure to perform on the balance sheet and shareholders is tremendous," commented Christine Mansfield. "Each training dollar invested returns individual dividends for increased productivity, morale and efficiencies, but ripple of continous learning commitment for the culture." "I expect companies to increase training in the next year and harness the value of so much investment in cloud and database technologies across all industries. To buy million dollar software without any training is a miss for the employees and the overall technology opportunity cost."
