Web-based training accommodates lean corporate budgets and tight travel schedules.
Vision Solutions has announced its Vision Solutions University education program now offers Web-based training for its numerous solutions, making it more convenient and less costly for IT professionals to learn how to plan, implement, monitor, audit, manage or troubleshoot their HA tools.
"Vision Solutions' online training enables customers and business partners to get product education without incurring travel costs associated with offsite training," Peter Sa, vice president of services for Vision Solutions, says. "In addition to the comprehensive Web-based curriculum, we focus on specific topics and allow customers to review course material at their own pace."
According to Sa, students who enroll in Vision Solutions University's Web-based classes receive high-quality training similar to those who participate in the company's traditional classroom settings.
The web-based courses range from basic principles to in-depth knowledge and are offered as a series of modules. Customers can purchase individual courses or bundle several within each product classification. Additional online courses will be added soon featuring high availability software implementation, administration and general IBM i high availability optimization.
