Allowing organizations to buy personalized online training and consultancy on various aspects of IT governance and information security best practice, LiveOnline, from IT Governance enables businesses to simplify the process of purchasing and managing consultancy or training. The company claims that this saves considerable travel times and, of course, cost.
Often, small and medium companies falter in getting optimum security for their companies. They are all left with vulnerable resources that are at the mercy of attackers. These companies often complain that they are helpless as they do not have the resources to pay for the consultancy and training required that could help them. Even for global companies, the travel required to acquire these capabilities may seem costly and thus, prohibitive. Keeping all these stumbling blocks in mind, IT Governance's highly-experienced compliance professionals have developed the LiveOnline service which extends existing IT Governance resources to help managers deal with these complex issues in a cost-effective manner.
With LiveOnline concept, companies can buy consultancy or training by the half-hour and use them when they want it, rather than the uncomfortable way of having it the other way around. This consultancy-as-a-utility concept works in two ways for the industry. First, it lets global organizations wanting to access these resources remotely have them. Then, it makes the services available to an untapped bunch of small companies who were not able to afford it until now.
With an instructor working live with your team, using the most up-to-date multimedia and Web conferencing facilities, the IT Governance LiveOnline Training service is available on a set of core topics. Full details of our initial menu of options are available at http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/training.aspx, and customers will be pleased to hear the first courses are part of a planned expansion to offering a whole portfolio of courses up to the expert level.
“This is a genuinely new concept in information security consultancy,” explains Alan Calder, chief executive of IT Governance. “Company leaders have, for too long, not been addressing information security because of the expense and difficulty attached to ordering and managing their training and consultancy needs. Having to engage consultants for weeks or months, or attend long drawn-out training events, is not the best way forward for perhaps the majority of companies; the small business needs maximum flexibility and cost efficiency, and the global player needs to be able to access these resources remotely.”
