Microsoft has launched Azure Skills – Cloud related trainings and certification offers for IT Professionals across UAE. With the aim of increasing adoption for new Cloud technologies, the Azure Skills program will help participants advance their technical acumen on Cloud; driving true digital transformation in line with UAE Vision 2021, and contributing to the country’s innovation, economic competitiveness, and smart initiatives.
“Industries are facing a bold new world with the amazing technological developments in the cloud, giving rise to unprecedented challenges and opportunities.” Said Samer Abu Ltaif, Regional General Manager, Microsoft Gulf. “Emerging technologies in the fields of hybrid cloud, mobility, data analytics and machine intelligence are changing nearly every aspect of the IT landscape, making it imperative for organizations to identify and fill the skills gap. Microsoft trainings and certifications will enable IT Professionals to address these technological challenges and develop skills crucial for embarking on this massive transformation.”
“Acquiring cloud skills has become a critical component in organisational success. Our Azure Skills courses and certifications will enable IT experts to reimagine their firm’s IT infrastructure, preparing them for a competitive digital future” added Abu Ltaif.
IDC also reported that investment in digital transformation initiatives will reach $2.2 trillion by 2019. With more than 80% of Microsoft customers having already deployed or embraced the cloud, the surging cloud momentum is real and will continue to rise. Microsoft cloud is a growing collection of integrated services — analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage, web apps and more — for moving faster, achieving more, and saving costs. Adding Azure skills to an organization’s toolbox will enable it to become more nimble and successful in a digital economy, meeting customer needs on any cloud platform.
