SavvyData Sale-a-bration Offers 70% Savings on FileMaker Training

Best of Class Instruction Now an Unprecedented Best Value

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — September 1, 2010 — SavvyData is celebrating two major business milestones by slashing tuitions temporarily for their entire suite of instructor-led classroom trainings. SavvyData is observing the first anniversary of their company rebranding, as well as their 16th year since incorporating the business.

“The FileMaker community has always been generous and supportive and fun-loving, and we try to demonstrate those same values as often as we can.” says Lee Lukehart, SavvyData founder and president. “As an authorized instructor, I live for seeing a student’s enthusiastic spark when they ‘get’ some new concept or cool FileMaker technique.” Lee explains further that “The recent economic downturn has slowed investments in staff skills development, but we noticed increased interest at certain lower price points. So we’ve launched this promotion to convert interest to action. Significantly lowering pricing—even temporarily—is a calculated business risk but this feels like the right thing to do, in a good-citizen kind of way.”

The "Savvy Sale-a-bration" special pricing covers the following classes:

• Savvy FM Intro 1-day class: $89 instead of $295 (70% savings)
Entry-level course on FileMaker Pro;
