TMC University Division Offering IP PBX
Certification Course At INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO
Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC)
announced their TMC University
division will offer its first IP PBX Certification Course at INTERNET
TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO in Long Beach, California. The daylong course,
which includes a 30-minute certification exam, will be held Wednesday,
October 15th, day two of the three-day conference.
INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO is a targeted and innovative
three-day conference and exhibition featuring a comprehensive education
for learning to select and deploy VoIP solutions. IP telephony voice and
data products offer businesses and telecommunications service providers a
lower-cost, more feature-rich alternative to traditional telecom services.
According to TMC President and conference chairman, Rich Tehrani, the TMC
University IP PBX Certification course, the only independent program of
its kind, is a long overdue addition to the conference.
“The decision to shift to a packet-based, IP telephony system carries with
it many significant and potentially disruptive challenges for an
organization. In fact, these disruptions are one of the most cited reasons
for NOT shifting to IP telephony. This new IP PBX certification we’re
offering will help relieve some of the stress for companies considering a
VoIP deployment. By handing over the project to a certified technician,
they can have confidence all important factors are considered and the
decisions they make are the right ones – before they make them,” said TMC
president and conference co-chair, Rich Tehrani.
The IP PBX Certification course consists of sessions covering the
following topics:
- Reaping the benefits of the IP PBX
- Enterprise applications for IP PBXs
- Cost justifying the upgrade to IP telephony
- A point by point ROI roadmap
- Selecting the right IP PBX solution
- Effective deployment of IP PBXs
- Migration strategies
- “Living with your new IP PBX”
Tom Keating, TMC’s CTO and chief engineer of TMC Labs, will moderate
the course. In addition to the obvious benefit for companies seeking
competent help with their IP PBX projects, Keating recognizes the value in
the course for the individuals who attend.
“Holding the proper certifications is often the difference between landing
a job or not in the IT and telecom fields. TMC University is offering the
chance to add a very specialized certification to your resume. I’m certain
it will open doors for everyone who completes the course successfully,”
said Keating.
Registration for the course and the entire conference is now open. Anyone
interested may register by phone, 1-800-243-6002, ext. 0 or by visiting
www.itexpo.com. Limited booth space is
still available as well. Vendors interested in exhibiting at the show
