Making things happen for your organisation's digital transformation requires that individuals and teams take time to advance their skills with training and Google Cloud Platform Certifications.
Completing a virtualisation project is more than “lifting and shifting” the old IT infrastructure to the cloud. Many take this approach for cost savings and convenience, and this makes sense.
But true transformation spans the entire business and enables every person to transform - from information technology specialists to end users. Today's landscape requires continuous improvement and innovation. This is where equipping yourself and your staff with the right skills, knowledge and certifications comes in.
