Hi. Perhaps it's leftover-turkey brain (all that tryptophan!), but I am confused by the construction of 'utilisateurs à l'usage de...' at the end of this sentence, and would like to know what you think it means. Are the training and support features being used, or is this a strange way of saying 'users using the products and services'?

"users in the use of" is a little repetitive. I'd just drop it all together and turn it round some other way, eg : users of X,Y and Z.
