Today, Vantage is announcing the relaunch of Vantage University with enhanced learning experiences, including updated role-based tracks, hands-on interactive demos, and updated video content. This relaunch provides users with tailored learning paths and practical, interactive experiences to help them get the most out of Vantage.

Access hands-on demos directly from each track

Since the initial launch of Vantage University in 2024, users have relied on its video training and guides to get up and running quickly with Vantage. Thousands have used the content to accelerate onboarding and become power users, scaling Vantage across their entire organization. However, users across different roles, from FinOps analysts to developers to finance managers, often relied on the same training modules, even though each role benefits most from guidance tailored to its unique use cases and workflows. Additionally, many users learn best through hands-on experience, benefiting from a safe, non-destructive environment with mock data where they can explore Vantage without impacting their own accounts.

Now, with the relaunched Vantage University, users follow a structured, hands-on learning path designed around real roles and workflows. They start with updated feature video lessons that introduce core concepts, like creating cost reports and navigating workspaces, then move into a guided, non-destructive demo where they build multiple Vantage reports that culminate in an executive dashboard. From there, users can specialize with role-based tracks that now combine video instruction and hands-on demos tailored to their specific responsibilities. These interactive demos are powered by Navattic, enabling users to click through the Vantage console as if they were actually using it, exploring features and completing tasks in a guided, realistic environment, all without the risk of making changes to live data.

The relaunched Vantage University is now available on the Vantage product documentation site. To get started, navigate to the Vantage University homepage, view featured video content, or explore individual feature lessons and the DIY demo.
