Millthree training school in Chennai

Millthree Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a training

company, has recently been opened in the city. To start with, the school

will offer courses covering Java, Corba, DHTML, ASP, Perl, SERVLETS, Java

Beans, Java Security as well as e-commerce. The training center spans an

area of 1,650 sqft, with 12 terminals available for students to work on

live projects. Each batch will comprise six students.

Around Rs 15 lakh has been invested in the venture. The e-commerce

course also includes communication skills, personality development and

leadership requirements, for which no additional fee is charged. Millthree

Solutions Director and promoter M. Rajarammohan said, "These

additional courses are essential for software professionals as many of

them lack basic communication skills, in spite of being competent in their

field."

The European method of analysis, called the `Merise' analysis, is

incorporated in the course as well. "A good project involves about

nine months of study and three months of programming. `Merise' analysis

basically involves a process of pre-study, functional procedures,

conceptual level planning, organizational level planning, etc. It is

basically for analysts and project managers to plan out their entire

project effectively," said Rajarammohan.

The company has a tie-up with Apogee Informatique, a France-based

software solutions firm. Rajarammohan, who is also Project Manager at

Apogee, France, said, "In a few months, we will be diversifying into

developing AS/400 applications in India. The investment, which will be to

the tune of around Rs 50 lakh, will be made by Apogee." The

development center for this will be coming up at the company's premises in

the next six months. "Such applications are imported by Indian

companies from South Korea mostly. We want to develop this product within

the country itself with the technical and financial collaboration with

Apogee," he added. Apogee is currently involved in developing such

applications abroad. One of the packages it has developed so far are, DISE-Dawson

Information System Europe, which is a business communication package.

"Before we diversify into AS/400 application development, we want

to study the potential markets and gauge the feasibility of starting a

center here," said the Director.
