The verdict is in. IT Training is critical for organizations who want to achieve tangible benefits from a software-defined data center (SDDC). In the new VMware-sponsored IDC whitepaper “Software-Defined Datacenter: Evolving Datacenter Management and IT Skills”, IDC Analyst Cushing Anderson discusses the link between IT training and recognizing the business benefits of an SDDC including:
- Accelerated time to value
- Higher system resiliency
- Optimized IT and staffing spend
- Increased IT staff focus on innovation
Here’s a sample of what else you’ll find:
“With a properly designed and deployed SDDC managed and optimized by well-skilled staff, organizations can realize a range of performance benefits.” (p. 9)
“These benefits can be realized only by accelerating the evolution of the datacenter, which involves transforming technology, transforming processes to manage the datacenter, and transforming the IT staff with increased and ongoing training.” (p. 10)
Cushing Anderson, IDC Program Vice President Project-based Services, speaks on a variety of topics including business consulting drivers, talent and the impact of certification on organizational performance. He has authored a number of IDC publications on IT Training and Certification including the “Worldwide and U.S. IT Education and Training Services 2014–2018 Forecast.”
