Only BRI offers the full Ghost Service: Licensing - Technical Support - Training

While most Users of Symantec Ghost are familiar with its basic use for machine-to-machine cloning and imaging, few have the experience to implement the Ghost Console to provide continuous network maintenance of operating systems and applications.

We wrote the book!

Binary Research was the original developer of Ghost. Here at BRI we have been developing and delivering Ghost training since 1999.

Our latest program is a three-day workshop that will enable you to make full use of the functionality of Ghost, learn additional tips, tricks and best practices thereby increasing your return on investment (ROI) even more than using Ghost in the basic operations mode.

We offer workshops at training facilities across the United States (Open Enrollment) or we can provide the training at your location for those organizations with a number of people who require training (On-Site).

In June 2005, BRI partnered with Bang Bang LLC, who are now BRI's partner of choice for the delivery of Ghost Training.
