Very intensive training with lots of tools. Now we have to put all the pieces together and work with the in-house teams (prescritpeurs) to identify the ones that best meet our needs and use them as digital purchasing tools. I've got the impression that I've got a lot of material at my disposal, and that's what I came here to find out. A big thank you to Jean-Anaël for his teaching skills, his patience, his kindness and his expertise s
