IBM ICM: Fundamentals of Configuration (V8.0) – SPVC – 1r070gspl
Course #: 1r070gspl
Duration: 4 Days
IBM ICM: Fundamentals of Configuration (V8.0) SPVC teaches students the foundation of IBM Incentive Compensation Manager 8.0. This is a self-paced virtual classroom course, during which students will learn the basic structure of the software and its navigation, how to create tables and calculations to produce results based on common business requirements, and how to create Data Stores from their calculation results. In addition, students will learn how to use both Portal Access and Workflow Manager to make existing reports available in the Web client. At the end of this course, clients will be able to transfer knowledge learned to solve their own business requirements within IBM ICM.
