Our IT 360 Training
This training does not tell you the history of IT or any interesting stories about it. We will provide you a focused technical insight into the different dedicated parts of a modern IT company. The goal of this training is to give you a better understanding of the roles, the needs, the challenges in modern IT while also building up knowledge about topics like software development, development processes, process management in IT, business intelligence, networking, hardware, software architecture, cloud & platform differences.
We will also make sure that you understand on-going discussions in IT like open-source vs. closed source, Unix vs. Windows, cloud vs. on premise, etc.
