TeamLease secures alliance with iT Learning Solution

 

India’s largest and foremost people supply chain and HR services company, TeamLease signs partnership with Singapore-based IT training specialist iT Learning Solution.

Local juggernaut TeamLease, which employs 75,000 people across 800 locations at any given time, has been in the business for over a decade now, differentiating itself by providing their clients a one-stop solution for all their corporate needs. Their extensive services include HR staffing and recruitment, payroll process outsourcing, regulatory compliance and assessment services and most importantly corporate training services.

iT Learning Solution (iTLS) is an Authorized Training Partner of Cisco, NetApp and most recently Citrix. iTLS has been delivering basic to high-end Cisco training and NetApp training for many years already and has been delivering Citrix training since mid this year. In addition, iTLS is also delivering several other top-notch IT courses in cooperation with partner networks.

The partnership is merely “a positive step in TeamLease’s aspiration to be a key player in high-end vendor authorized curriculum training market with the support from iT Learning Solution. TeamLease further strengthens its ability to serve its clients’ Networking, Virtualization and Storage related training requirements.”

Sr. Vice President, Enterprise Learning Solutions, TeamLease, Davuluri.P further states “with access to state-of-the art virtual lab facilities and talented trainer pool from iTLS, TeamLease can offer cutting-edge training solutions to its clients in India.”

iT Learning Solution sees a great opportunity locking alliance with TeamLease which has a wide and strong presence in the country spanning from Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkatta, Ahmadabad and Pune.

At the onset of this year, the Singapore-based IT training provider has been crystal clear of its intention to set its footprints and make a reputable mark across Asia Pacific. And India, being an IT mega-hub is a clear and very important key market.

“We need to grow the business and the brand in the region. We understand that getting a (local) partner involved would prove to be the best, if not the only way to do just that”, says Norbert Jacobsen, Vice-President of iTLS Asia Pacific.

These two IT training providers are hopeful that the partnership will bring stronger business both ways.

iT Learning Solution adds Citrix to its growing portfolio

 

iT Learning Solution (iTLS), a Singapore-based IT training specialist has finally acquired the coveted Authorized Training Partner (ATP) status with Citrix Systems, one of the leading providers of server and desktop virtualization, networking, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and cloud computing technologies, including Xen open source products.

iTLS has been an Authorized Training Partner of Cisco and NetApp for many years now and are still continually co-operating to deliver up-to-date trainings all across Asia Pacific.

iTLS sees a good demand for Citrix technology training in the region. And this observation quickly brought iTLS in partnership with them. With Citrix now in the picture, iTLS hopes to continue the same level of success they are having with Cisco and NetApp.

“It only makes sense. As we are focusing worldwide on Multi Vendor Training,  starting on the Virtualization side, we can’t sustain without working with Citrix – the leader of Desktop Virtualization”, briefly quipped iTLS Asia Pacific Vice-President, Norbert Jacobsen.

iTLS did announce earlier this year that they plan to expand its business by getting relevant vendors and channel partners on board to make its ambition of capturing a bigger share of the market a realization. And having Citrix on its list of vendors is just one of its major strategic plans for a successful business expansion.

As an Authorized Training Partner, iTLS will be able to deliver all of Citrix course curriculum on its own. Their training schedules are currently around XenApp, XenDesktop, XenServer, Netscaler and Citrix Virtualization.

Additionally, iTLS can conduct Citrix certification trainings for IT professionals to become a Citrix Certified Administrator (CCA), Citrix Certified Advanced Administrator (CCAA), Citrix Certified Enterprise Engineer (CCEE) or Citrix Certified Integration Architect (CCIA).

iTLS consistently offers high-quality, hands-on but flexible training sessions with industry-respected and certified instructors using state-of-the-art remote and local labs.

iTLS provides several training methods such as Instructor-Led Training (ILT), Instructor-Led Online (ILO), Corporate/Private On-site Training which allows its customers to have their exact and unique needs satisfied in their own terms, and its original concept of FLEX™ Classroom wherein the class is delivered in both classroom and online and the student can choose either way.

These Citrix trainings, however, are delivered in the confinement, for now, among countries such as Singapore, India, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and New Zealand. But iTLS sets its sights to reach other regions as well if not as an ATP, then perhaps through a channel partner.

iTLS will start delivering Citrix trainings as early as June.

“We need to grow the business and the brand in the region. We understand that getting a (local) partner involved would prove to be the best, if not the only way to do just that”, says Norbert Jacobsen, Vice-President of iTLS Asia Pacific.

iTLS is an innovative IT training center with the introduction of its very own original concept of FLEX™ Classroom. Apart from the usual settings of Instructor-Led Training (ILT) and Instructor-Led Online (ILO), FLEX™ classes allow a student to attend a course either in an actual classroom or via online.
