Why should I invest in training ?

1) Why should I invest in Virtualisation Training ?

• Businesses are demanding a better return from their investments in computing systems, whilst still delivering secure and continuous business operations.

• Virtualisation technologies are being implemented across all layers of system architecture.

• Implementation of Virtualisation technologies can reduce overall IT costs by 50% - 70%.

• The virtualisation courses provided by Advance IQ are the official VMware courses and so not only will you gain the knowledge, you can also qualify as a VCP (VMware Certified Professional), by taking the official VMware examination after participating in the course.

2) Why should I invest in IT Security Training ?

• "If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked."               - White House Cybersecurity Advisor, Richard Clarke

• If your staff do not know or understand how to maintain confidentiality of information, or how to secure it appropriately, not only do you risk having one of your most valuable business assets (information) mishandled, inappropriately used, or obtained by unauthorized persons, but you also risk being in non-compliance of a growing number of laws and regulations that require certain types of information security and privacy awareness and training activities. You also risk damaging another valuable asset, corporate reputation.
