Professional Services for Accelerated Mainframe Implementation - Training

As a compliment to an innovative and highly functional Shadow mainframe integration product suite, DataDirect offers a comprehensive training program for both end-users and developers. DataDirect’s training consultants have accumulated years of legacy extension and integration experience.

Training Matched To Student
Unlike traditional training delivery methods, DataDirect's programs focus on learner-centered education, where the student's learning experience is recognized as a priority. Therefore, material revolves around what is important for the student. As a result, classes incorporate various delivery techniques to address the needs of the learner.

This leads to optimum retention of the knowledge and skills presented in the classes. Consequently, students return to their organizations with:

  • The confidence to exploit more from the Shadow functionality
  • The skills to rapidly deploy new integration techniques such as Web services or Real-time event integration
  • The knowledge to accelerate new projects that rely on mainframe datasource
  • The ability to be more productive and self- sufficient

In short, the DataDirect training approach helps both the student and the DataDirect trainers to understand the intricacies of planned projects and recognize how best to apply the Shadow technology in your organization.

DataDirect's classes are designed to meet our customer needs. Courses are developed through collaboration with various DataDirect/Shadow experts and customer feedback. The course material is regularly updated to reflect the most current information available about the product. These steps ensure that the material presented is relevant, accurate, and centered on the needs of the customer.

Shadow SkillSets
To augment the training experience even further, Shadow SkillSets are a series of training programs geared to the roles that a customer's IT and management team play in planning, developing and implementing DataDirect's technology. Additionally, if more than training is required to ensure project success DataDirect offers a seasoned professional services team that provides customers with ongoing project management, development, testing, and implementation services.
