Skill Transfer and Methodology

With our highly skilled and experienced solutions delivery team, skill transfer to enable our customers to manage their IT infrastructure better is a natural transition. Skill transfer is part of every services engagement that we deliver, for it gives customers the confidence which no remote or standby support can offer.  This is done in a hands on and interactive manner, in parallel as the deployment progresses, so that we can impart as much of real world experience as possible.

Quadra also offers these skill transfer sessions as classroom courses, complete with a virtual environment, in our very own high tech labs. These enable customers not just to maintain their infrastructure, but also to better envision their needs and plan for their future IT roadmap.

The best part about all these courses is that there is less emphasis on courseware, and more focus on hands on learning, coupled with real world explanations and demonstrations from the very same team which has delivered our award winning solutions.

Session Content

Below is an partial list of skill transfer sessions, that Quadra currently offers at its Technology Labs. We also offer customized sessions, and also on technologies such as Oracle, Symantec, Linux and BusinessObjects.
