With over 4 years in the making, ARM 8 has a clean new visual style that is much friendlier for an infrequent user. It includes a multitude of new features and improvements relative to ARM 7.

On-site Training

If you have questions on how to use the current ARM version and have limited time, a one-day training session is a perfect opportunity to receive in-depth training tailored to your specific requirements.

If you are interested in hosting a training session at your location, or arranging training at our facility in Brookings, South Dakota, please contact Fran Gylling at (+1) 605-693-4150 or fran@gdmdata.com

GDM staff members are available to travel to your site to provide training in the proper use of the GDM software.  Training shall be for the purpose of educating company employees in the use of the software.  Charges for on-site training consists of the cost of transportation plus daily travel cost of $450, lodging, meals, and a daily training fee of US $975 per training day for the first trainer.

Our policy for training is to work with the company computer/research persons during training.  Many questions are not just how to use the software, but "How do I as a researcher handle this information for my reports."  Answering this type of question requires a joint effort, and also develops local expertise within each company.
