Thanks to this course, I've acquired the appropriate vocabulary and understood that I have a certain number of elements at my disposal to call on the company's SAM and achieve my compliance and cost optimisation objectives. Vincent seems passionate about his subject, his speech is lively and his vocabulary precise.... it was easy to listen to him all day.
