Specialist IT solution areas

One of the most challenging IT-related roles is the design, development and deployment of multi-tiered enterprise applications. Large organisations rely on these systems for the most important parts of their operations - so it's vital that application architects know their tools and craft quite literally inside out.

Application development training

Today's sophisticated application development languages provide a level of programming power that is unprecedented. Organisations select programming technologies perhaps because they are best of breed, or a strategic platform or offer the most suitable framework for the required application.

Business applications training

The nervous system of today's enterprise is the network of desktop computers running the powerful business applications that undertake the organisation's daily work.

Business process and finance training

A key part of the success of any larger organisation is the use of high-end business process, line-of-business and financial applications. Tight management of the business is made possible by up-to-the-minute business intelligence and highly efficient systems.

Cloud computing training

With organisations focusing more on lowering the cost of ownership, increasing reliability/redundancy and minimising in-house infrastructure, cloud computing is a concept that is being readily embraced.

Data management and business intelligence training

One of the most compelling advantages of using information technology is the sheer wealth of information that's available at the touch of a button - information that can help steer a business with greater accuracy. And yet, this information often remains locked away - as unused transactional data, left behind from the day-to-day business.

Hardware training

Organisations select the hardware on which to run their powerful business systems with care - at every point from the desktop to the data centre.

Information security training

Perhaps one of the most important areas of investment for organisations is that of information security. As technology has become more ubiquitous and interconnected, the information processed by technology has been increasingly at risk.

Internet and Web development training

The Internet has become most organisations' key route to market - providing new and efficient ways to interact with customers and partners. But with this opportunity comes many challenges - the rapid pace of technological change, the rise of social media/Web 2.0, security and more.

Messaging and collaboration training

Electronic communications and collaboration has become so commonplace that it is almost overlooked - yet organisations rely on these technologies each and every day, communicating and collaborating internally, with customers, partners and suppliers.

Networking and data communications training

In many ways, the network is the business - it's what carries the countless thousands of pieces of important information around the organisation and enables it to communicate with customers and partners.

Operating systems and infrastructure training

At the heart of an organisation's IT infrastructure lies the operating system - either the network operating system or the desktop operating system.

Systems management training

One of the most important ongoing tasks for an IT department is the management of the organisation's desktop and server systems.

Virtualisation and storage training

With organisations keen to reduce the cost of ownership of their IT infrastructure - especially power costs - and become more environmentally responsible, virtualisation and low-footprint storage have become key cost-effective tools.
