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

Ghost is the industry's most widely-used corporate imaging, deployment and system management solution. Ghost Solution Suite (GSS) provides imaging speed, flexibility, automated OS deployment and User migration.

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 full power of the Suite.

We wrote the book!

UPDATE: As of 1 March 2010 the BRI  Ghost Solution Suite training will focus on GSS v.2.5.1 (the latest release of GSS from Symantec) and will be a TWO day program. 

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 TWO-day workshop that trains you to make full use of the powerful functionality within the GSS v. 2.5.1. Learn how to use GSS to it's potential and increase your company's ROI.
