Ideate, Inc. Launches Bluebeam Revu Class

San Francisco, CA, November 7, 2016-Ideate, Inc., a Bluebeam value added reseller, announced today that it has expanded its relationship with Bluebeam, Inc. to include classroom training on Bluebeam Revu for the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner (AECO) communities. Bluebeam Revu is a powerful PDF creation, editing, markup, and collaboration software.

“We decided to offer this one-day course after hearing that some of our customers use just a fraction of the tools available in Bluebeam Revu,” said Sash Kazeminejad, an award-winning instructor with Ideate and a Bluebeam Certified Instructor. “In too many cases, field or office professionals learn just what they need to get by. This course teaches the full functionality of Revu so users can achieve greater productivity. During this course, we will walk students through hands-on activities using AECO industry-based datasets. To ensure that everyone is able to start using the tools right away, we will give them a comprehensive workbook and datasets to practice with during and after the class.”

In a progressive learning structure where each session builds on previous objectives, attendees will get an overview of the software and will learn how to save time with:

· Markup tools, Revu stamps, the Tool Chest™, and the Markups list

· PDF creation

· Documentation management and set up

· Studio Session and Projects

After completing the course, attendees who pass an online test with Bluebeam will be able to distinguish themselves as “Bluebeam Certified Users.”

“One of our goals at Ideate is to help our customers get the most out of their software investments,” says Bob Palioca, president of Ideate, Inc. “This new educational offering demonstrates our commitment to achieving that goal.”
