What We Deliver
We don't deliver generic courses. Every engagement is scoped around your workflows, your tools, and your team's specific goals.
Why DTI
Most training providers deliver off-the-shelf content. We start with your business workflows and build backwards — so every session delivers measurable capability improvement.
Deep expertise across life sciences, financial services, and professional services clients throughout Ireland.
Gary has built the reporting systems your teams need to learn. That's the difference between generic and genuinely useful training.
Where appropriate, we incorporate your organisation's own reporting requirements, processes and business examples into the training
We review your reporting maturity, identify the gaps, and design a programme that addresses them with precision.
Specialist Expertise
Advanced Excel expertise for organisations that rely on spreadsheets, reports and recurring data processes. I help businesses clean, structure, model and automate their reporting using Excel, Power Query and Power Pivot, with Power BI used as an additional reporting option where appropriate.

The instructor is the best I've come across.

He has been fantastic to work with and provided excellent quality training that was customised exactly to our needs. We have received very positive feedback from all staff who participated in the training and have continued to avail of the training every year because of this. He provided a second to none post-training service replying promptly to any follow up queries. He is both highly professional and personable in his approach and we look forward to working with him for many years to come.
