Has anyone had training for the IBM SFG Product? If so, could you please provide the name of the 3rd Party Vendor who provided the training?
How would you rate the training? Thank You!

IBM is installing and we will be working with them to implement. We just got Connect:Direct about 1.5 years ago. We are getting SFG/SI, SSP, SEAS and CC. Yes, there sure are "a lot of pieces."

They will push implementation services, and you will wish you'd bought them before it's over if you go it on your own. What are you planning on doing with it? If it is just MFT, I would highly recommend taking a good hard look at MOVEit first (unless you have a bunch of Connect:Direct you have to deal with, since SI/SFG does come with CDSA; you may end up not having much choice). Keep in mind too that you won't need only SFG/SI. You will need SSP and SEAS (if you want to do SFTP; that's another joy) as well. And you probably will want CC. There are other pieces that have to be installed and configured on separate servers (SSPcm and Perimeter Server), but they are part of SSP. In short, there are a lot of pieces. One more thing, IBM just recently outsourced support and development (I think) of the suite to Syncsort, if that sways you either way.
