MicroTek, the leading provider of global business training solutions, announces a partnership with Skytap, Inc., the innovator of on-demand “Environments as a Service” (EaaS), to deliver cloud-based Virtual Learning Labs to support MicroTek’s Next Generation Classroom.
Skytap was selected as a MicroTek Learning Solutions Partner (LSP) because of their best-in-class training environments that deliver superior user experience, technical performance, low cost to operate and seamless integration into traditional classroom and virtual learning scenarios. This partnership enhances MicroTek’s portfolio of training services to deliver cloud-based training environments to customers worldwide.
“The high-performance environments of our training facilities combined with the power of Skytap’s virtual lab platform enable our clients to experience the highest level of knowledge transfer within a virtual training space,” said Hugh McCullen, MicroTek President.
Virtual Learning Labs allow users to access complex software configurations in secure, cloud-based environments from any device and from any location. Users can experience a hands-in or hands-on training lab without the need to purchase hardware to run applications. End-to-end product implementation and support is what sets MicroTek apart from competitors in the market, whose offerings tend to be highly complex, and put the onus on the customer to learn and support the technology.
“This is a great solution for customers with fluctuating classroom sizes, geographically dispersed learners or for those who just want to provide students with the flexibility to take training from anywhere,” said McCullen.
MicroTek Virtual Learning Labs are offered in MicroTek’s Learning Experience Packages to further enhance the experience and success of their customer training events.
“Combining MicroTek’s deep experience delivering custom-fit training solutions with Skytap’s on-demand virtual classroom environments and powerful API for integration provides MicroTek’s customers with best-in-class, instructor-led and virtual training experiences,” said Thor Culverhouse, CEO of Skytap.
