They faced specific challenges, given their prior expertise in other BI tools. The primary hurdles included the need for expedited training, mapping existing skills, and building Pentaho experts within their team.

Impressively, the team achieved certification in just five days. The collaboration yielded fruitful results, with Opera Solutions now boasting a skilled team of Pentaho experts ready to take on Pentaho-based projects. GrayMatter's expertise also led to their engagement in a consulting assignment with Opera Solutions. This project involved tackling intricate challenges within Pentaho, showcasing GrayMatter's deep understanding of the tool. Their partnership extends beyond training, as they collaborate on strategic initiatives to provide BI and analytics services to Opera Solutions' clients.
