DT Group helps you retake control of your business processes by training your staff to solve their own problems.
Our approach focuses on training and mentorship. We give your "problem solvers" better tools to solve bigger problems.
Ongoing training
and mentorship
In their now role, your Citizen Developers ARE developers. They will need a support network to grow in their new role. DT Group has identified six key skills to maximize your Citizen Developers' success.
Our training program will dramatically increase the effectiveness of your Citizen Developers. We combine intensive hands-on practice with six months of membership in our mentoring program. This two-pronged approach balances immersion and ongoing support.

Security
Ensure the right people have access to appropriate applications and data
Compliance
Design policies and procedures specific to your organization, including solution reviews and periodic audits
