MAM System Training
Asset management software is only as good as you make it. Without clear, comprehensive training users will struggle to adopt and use any solution. NSA provides superior training based on our 15 years of experience training users at some of the most demanding organizations in the world.
CatDV & Iconik Training
North Shore Automation offers professional training services for both CatDV and iconik users. Our training is designed to help teams get productive quickly, adopt best practices, and make full use of their asset management system.
We focus on real-world workflows, not theory.
Who This Training Is For
New CatDV or iconik users
Teams onboarding additional staff
Administrators and power users
Organizations that feel they’re “only using part” of their system
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to tighten up existing workflows, our training adapts to your environment.
The Process
NSA remote classroom sessions are built around a carefully developed curriculum—not the casual “click here and good luck” approach some trainers take.
We start with a focused set of 1–3 hours of instructor-led or video lessons to make sure everyone has the fundamentals down. From there, we move into one-on-one workflow training with an NSA master trainer, working directly in your real-world CatDV environment so you can get productive immediately.
Onboard new staff later? The training videos remain available at any time for refreshers or new hires.
This approach has been proven across 150+ DAM deployments.
CatDV Training
If you were left with a CatDV system after another project owner moved on, if you feel that the training you received was sub-par, if you just have shuffled your team and need to get them up to speed, or if you just feel you might not be getting all you could out of your system, North Shore can help.
