Satyam, Microsoft initiative

Satyam Computer Services Ltd and Microsoft Corp have announced an industry enterprise readiness initiative, called EDGE, which is aimed at training and certifying Satyam's engineering workforce on Microsoft technologies.

Managed by Satyam's Microsoft Global Alliance and Satyam Learning Centre, EDGE will train up to 3,000 Microsoft certified professionals each year to enable execution excellence on the Microsoft .NET technology for enterprise solutions.

The EDGE programme will enable Satyam's global workforce, including campus recruits, designers and architects, to access instructor-led training on Microsoft Official Curriculum courseware at the application and infrastructure level.

It will also be supported by key Microsoft eLearning Library assets, MSDN Universal, and other dedicated certification assets.

Further, the programme will integrate with other Satyam and Microsoft alliance assets, such as Microsoft's architectural patterns and practices programme and adaptive solutions centres to create a unified approach to delivering productivity benefits to its global enterprise customers, a media statement said.
