HP has introduced the first comprehensive certification portfolio for IT professionals, encompassing the design and deployment of HP Cloud Solutions including business alignment, infrastructure, software and provisioning skills.

IT professionals need to extend their skills on both a technical and business level. Other industry certification programs that focus solely on specific IT segments, such as networking or storage, fall short of meeting IT’s current requirements to implement broad, multifaceted cloud or virtualization projects.

The expanded HP ExpertONE Converged Infrastructure certification portfolio enables IT professionals to gain hands-on experience and knowledge across the cloud technology spectrum. Further, the certifications develop business skills to align cloud projects with organizational goals, reducing operational risks that can result from oversights in architecture design and project execution. 

With the unique combination of business and technical training, HP certifications ensure that organizations can tap the right experts for their IT projects, removing a critical barrier to enterprise innovation, and enabling better return on IT investments.

In addition, HP ExpertONE has extended its global delivery options to include an expanded learning partner channel, a new academic program with certification curriculum, and an HP-branded line of self-study guides. Customers, partners and IT professionals worldwide can now maximize investments to develop cloud and Converged Infrastructure skills through standard or customized training, delivered where they need it, in the format they choose.
