LinkAhead: Support and Training

Support for LinkAhead and beyond

Reliable software and workflows are essential for an efficient working environment. We will support your data management workflows based on LinkAhead to Service Level Agreements of your choice. This involves priority support via email and phone, as well as regular video calls to keep in touch with you and your user experience.

Training: LinkAhead and data management

You and your team will get to know the LinkAhead environment step by step in one-day training sessions (beginner & advanced). Our experts guide you through relevant use cases and you train in practical lessons how to get the most out of LinkAhead. We get you ready for routine use in daily practice.

Depending on your use cases, we suggest training sessions for:

  • Everyday use of LinkAhead: Learn about data models, how to efficiently use the web interface, about LinkAhead’s simple yet powerful searching possibilities, and how to import and export data.
  • Dive into your data: LinkAhead is more than just data and a web site. Learn how to automate your data management tasks with Python, integrate data sources automatically with the crawler framework and how to extend LinkAheads capabilities.
  • Behind the scenes: Setting up user authentication, file system integration and automatic backup strategies will make you and your system administrators fit for common and rare challenges.

If you want to go more into the depths of data management, our Structured Data workshop combines generic data management topics with an hands-on introduction to LinkAhead.
