ITpreneurs have a simple, yet effective business model. They develop courseware, and their resellers package this content with their own offerings to deliver high quality training to end-users.

ITpreneurs saw a huge opportunity with cloud computing and worked with CompTIA from the start to design and develop the content for CompTIA Cloud Essentials.

During our U.K. cloud luncheon today, Brant Seethaler, regional business manager, ITpreneurs, shared his personal experience working with ING Bank where more than 1,500 members of ING’s staff have successfully been trained with the Cloud Essentials curriculum as part of their cloud transformation.

ING’s vision is to be the preferred bank for customers. Successfully adopting cloud technologies was seen as key in transforming the bank. ING worked in partnership with ITpreneurs in order to:

  • Transform a “traditional” IT department to being a next generation service provider,
  • Achieve best-in-class cost-ratio as the technology service provider of choice,
  • Reduce risk and complexity inherent in a fragmented data strategy,
  • Virtualize and future-proof platforms, and
  • Build a cloud operating model.

ITpreneurs understood that at the heart of success for ING lay a comprehensive training program to ensure all staff understood cloud technologies and how they could benefit the organization. Without this ING would never be in a position to successfully leverage cloud services for business gain. ITpreneurs created a large-scale internal awareness campaign around cloud computing and trained 1,500 people to ensure the right competencies and skills in-house.
