RPI's "Show & Tell" is more than a demo - we take you through the navigation, the features, and critical processes - then allow for freedom of questions, so it is very effective in a multi-client environment where different people may have very different needs but also understanding of the product. It allows just about everyone from User to Systems Admin to a C-Level or Executive to get something out of the presentation. They are done on our Infor CloudSuite Sandboxes that are in the Infor Cloud on AWS. There is some PPT presentations and there are some videos to simulate processes, but these are the exception rather than the rule.
