Pluralsight and Ingram Micro Cloud team up on cloud initiative
Pluralsight has teamed with Ingram Micro Cloud to build upon cloud competence and maturity internally across their technology teams, and externally supporting partners' capabilities to offer transformation solutions.
Together, the companies are delivering a full suite of tools and strategic skills development planning and consulting services. These are designed to help organisations ensure that their technologists have the requisite cloud skills needed to enable the success of every cloud implementation.
According to a statement from the companies, the relationship enables Ingram Micro Cloud's network of partners to execute strategic and comprehensive skill development plans for all types of cloud initiatives, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and cybersecurity.
Cloud computing continues to be a top strategic imperative for organisations around the globe, contributing to the growing need for cloud skill development to fill skills gaps as organisations progress from adoption to maturity. In fact, research shows that the vast majority of IT leaders expect to expand their usage of cloud services over the next 1 - 3 years.
By offering Pluralsight Skills on the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace, channel partners can access certification courses, hands-on labs and sandboxes to upskill their technologists and build the competencies needed to ensure they are ready to support cloud-based initiatives.
Pluralsight SVP of global ecosystem solutions Ken Leonard says, "We are excited to offer Pluralsight's full suite of tech skills development solutions within the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace to help partners meet the demand for cloud skills development to solve business challenges and drive valuable outcomes.
"With access to cloud training through Pluralsight Skills in addition to customised platform services certified by Pluralsight for Ingram Micro Cloud, partners will be able to build competencies across their organisations more effectively while accelerating their cloud skill development journeys at scale.
Together, Pluralsight and Ingram Micro Cloud expect to deliver solutions that help organisations build technical expertise while accelerating profitability and growth.
