Borland, Pragati Software launch training program for IT professionals

Bangalore: Borland India, a subsidiary of Borland Software

Corporation, announced that it is partnering with

Pragati Software to offer training programs to IT professionals and students on

optimizing software development and delivery through better processes and

technology. As a Borland Learning Partner (BLP), Pragati Software will run

extensive training programs in several cities across India including Bangalore,

Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mysore, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram.

Course offerings span the entire lifecycle of software development, helping

IT professionals learn the processes and technology required for successful

project delivery and automation. Borland products that automate and enforce

these processes such as the company's CaliberRM requirements management

system and together visual modeling tool will be used to train students.

Courses on Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Lifecycle Quality Management

(LQM), and Borland Tempo IT Management and Governance system will be part of

the training

program. Specific modules will be designed in partnership with

Borland.

“The importance of process improvement and automation has increased

dramatically in the effort to improve the predictability and manageability of

software projects. We selected Pragati as partners in our endeavor towards

making process management a required discipline in the IT industry as they have

the experienced faculty and facilities to support such an advanced curriculum.

Educating the developer network is critical to our vision of transforming the

software delivery process for customers. As a leading player in the focused

corporate IT training sector, Pragati is ideally qualified to partner with us in

this initiative,” said Satyen Parikh, Managing Director, Borland India.

“In line with other Borland University offerings, these courses are

organized by role, process, project stage or product, and leverage a broad array

of customizable formats to address an individual's specific learning style or

team arrangement. This allows people to develop the right knowledge and skills

in a fast and familiar way, with faster time-to-benefit, and the flexibility to

incorporate specialized and/or proprietary material into a training program.

Borland University emphasizes “lifecycle learning” where expertise in one

area is complemented by concepts and skills in adjacent areas, helping create

stronger teams and reducing the communication gaps between software delivery

phases.”

“This initiative is an important step towards a strong knowledge-based

partnership with Borland. Through this program, we can train software

professionals on better software development practices and smoother, more

efficient processes that will improve their productivity. The end-to-end

training programs begin with a complete skills assessment conducted by experts.

Then, we work with the customer to create a training program optimized to his

role and underlying skills as well as the overarching development process and

technologies or products being deployed at his company,” said P. Sharma,

Director and Chief Executive Officer, Pragati Software. 

The Borland Learning Partner (BLP) program is aimed at providing knowledge

dissemination, technical evaluation and training activities to support and

encourage Borland's business vision of aligning people, process and technology

for software delivery optimization.
