VMWare Instrastructure 3.5: Install and Configure

Virtualisation is fast becoming a necessity for the IT sections of large and small companies. Computers and servers are rarely used to capacity and these inefficiencies create systems that have excess processing and storage capacity and are energy inefficient. Virtualisation is cost-effective, makes it easier to run large systems on small servers and is good for the environment.

Certified Professionals are in demand. On March 9 - 12, Professional Training will provide the official VMWare Install and Configure course in Cork and Dublin, which is a prerequisite to taking the certification exam and becoming a VMWare Certified Professional. To book, email info@professional.ie or call 021-4319010.

Credit control – vital for survival

Average payment terms have stretched to over 60 days for many businesses. Almost a third of SMEs report payment delays of over 90 days. This is unsustainable, financially crippling and must be addressed by all enterprises.

Businesses must manage their debtors or risk a gradual (or accelerating) loss of control, due to reduced cashflow and increased incidence of bad debt.

Our training helps to establish effective credit practices and demonstrate a systematic approach to debt collection, suitable for all enterprises. We show participants how to deal effectively with slow payers, while maintaining good customer relations. We outline the best ways of using the telephone and other communication tools for business advantage and highlight the benefits of different techniques.

Managing and Leading

As organisations restructure to deal with the recession, additional demands are placed on experienced managers and newly appointed managers must deal with issues not seen during previous years of growth. Business must still be done and it is more important than ever to harness the collective abilities of employees into an efficient team.

Our courses are specifically focused on assisting new and experienced managers to monitor team and individual performance and decide which actions are required to improve effectiveness. The programmes are very practical and developed from the extensive real-life experience of our trainers.
