Configuration Training

Many utilities and consulting organizations want to to learn the details of AUD configuration so they can create, extend, and maintain their AUD implementation without outside help.

DL Consulting has been doing configuration training since 2014 for both large and small utilities as well as consulting organizations. And DL Consulting “wrote the book”, creating the first (and still only) professional guide to AUD configuration.

AUD “Quick Start”

“You don’t know what you don’t know”. So the AUD “Quick Start” will, in a few days of time, get you up to speed on how AUD can be adapted to your utility’s unique approach to design.

A Quick Start is usually done as a 3 to 5 day on-site session. During the session we work with your data, your materials, your symbiology, and your design standards, and illustrate AUD capabilities with a focus on what you need in the solution.
