QA Delivers Training to Support Web Services Take-off
Research* from QA, the UK’s leading provider of specialist training and consulting, indicates that nearly half (42%) of IT professionals believe that Web Services is the most important technology issue for the IT industry over the coming 12 months.
In response to client requirements to better understand Web Services technology, QA has launched two new Web Services courses for Java and .NET developers who are required to assess or implement Web Services for their organisations.
Thomas Lee, Chief Technologist at QA commented, “Web Services allow developers to take advantage of their existing J2EE or .NET applications to extend their scope and reach. IT professionals need to understand how the Web Services technology and standards can add value and QA’s special place in the industry ensures that we provide insights into cutting edge developments.”
QA’s programme for IT professionals has been developed by QA’s unique cadre of Principal Technologists, technology and industry experts. Working closely with technology providers, Principal Technologist develop courses and seminars on new and emerging technology developments to meet the technical and business needs of organisations.
Lee added, “2002 saw considerable hype surrounding Web Services but the concept was slow take off. Today, many organisations feel that they should be aware of the potential benefits of Web Services – for example in improved customer service, web-enabled legacy systems and remote access to company information, but many are still struggling with the how. Our new courses and special events seek to provide the answers. ”
