Financial Edge NXT — Fundamentally Speaking 5592

Financial Edge NXT — Fundamentally Speaking

Published
I still remember getting my first smartphone. It was an incredible feeling to hold a minicomputer in the palm of my hand. I spent the next week figuring it out, setting up my email and social media accounts, and choosing my preferences. It was an enjoyable process to explore all the new features and get the hang of operating this tiny computer.

Fast-forward to a month ago when I broke my phone and needed a new one. I spent exactly 15 minutes setting it up. I had come far from needing a week to learn a new technology. This is partly due to my experience operating smartphones over the last 10 years, but also due to the intuitiveness of the functionality. Over the years, the interface has become easier and easier to use—making it easier and easier to learn.

That’s also one of the advantages of Financial Edge NXT web view—the intuitive nature of the user interface. Since the interface is easier to use, our courses dive right into the robust functionality of Financial Edge NXT and more quickly prepare you for advanced courses. The Financial Edge NXT web view Fundamentals courses are freshly updated to include more advanced functionality than what is covered in the more basic Financial Edge database view Fundamentals courses.

Here’s how the updated Financial Edge NXT web view courses stack up against the more basic Financial Edge database view courses. Click a course name to learn more!
