The Current Market Situation
1. Vendor-Specific CertificationIt is impossible to take a “neutral” position if all training programs in the market include specific technology or vendor solutions.
2. Lack of a structured learning approachAn abundance of reference material is already available, but this is not sufficient, nor appropriate, as a structured approach to build organizational capability.
3. Unknown and non-certified Cloud trainingTraining organizations may offer “non-standardized” cloud training, but the one-off trainings fragment the market and create confusion as there is no defined guideline around the training. In turn, it will slow down maturity of the cloud domain / adoption
