Kony Introduces New Base Camp Community to Bridge the Skills Gap for Digital App Developers
Kony,
Inc., the leading enterprise mobility and digital applications
company, today announced the launch of Kony
Base Camp, a curated online community designed to empower both
professional and citizen developers to gain the modern IT skills needed
to accelerate the development and delivery of omnichannel apps.
The pace and demands of today's digital business environment has
resulted in an increasing IT skills gap - one that hinders professional
opportunities for developers. The lack of skilled digital app developers
also slows overall business innovation for companies. Connecting tens of
thousands of developers, including top architects and developers from
Kony, Base Camp offers a central location for developers to access
useful tutorials, training and certification opportunities to build the
modern IT skills sought out by employers in today's highly competitive
job market. In addition, users can exchange knowledge with other
developers, download prebuilt components from the Kony
Marketplace, and contribute input for consideration into the Kony
product roadmap.
"Kony provides the best-in-class platform for digital applications, and
developers with Kony expertise and certification is in high demand. In
fact, Kony is ranked among the top 5 certifications in the industry,"
said Wayne McCulloch, executive vice president and chief customer
officer, Kony, Inc. "Kony Base Camp provides developers with access to a
comprehensive ecosystem of experts, tools and professional resources. By
bringing together the power of leading-edge technologies and best
practices, we are able to equip developers with competitive skills
needed to fully unlock the power of today's modern omnichannel
applications."
With Base Camp, Kony is removing a barrier for developers to gain
critical digital skills, by offering a number of training courses for
developers at no cost. Upon successful completion, developers are
awarded credentials that are based on the Open Badge framework. People
can display these verifiable skills and accomplishment across the web
and share them with their network and potential employers. In addition,
the Kony Base Camp community of developers and experts from around the
world offer developers support throughout the app development cycle.
