Rooman Technologies forays into Mysore

Bangalore-based Rooman Technologies, a pioneer in computer hardware, networking and security training, is foraying into Mysore with the opening of its 40th centre on October 12.

Rooman Technologies has launched its centres in major locations at Bangalore, Mangalore, Hubli, Belgaum, Dharwad, Gadag and Gulbarga in Karnataka.

Belgaum centre has been receiving a good response with 400 trainees Belgaum is followed by Hubli 350 and Mangalore 250 students.

However, the response in Gulbarga has been poor, may be due to a lack of awareness, Rooman's network manager I G Samudri told Business Standard.

According to a survey by Ernst & Young, the number of hardware and networking professionals is set to rise from 2.4 lakh now to grow ten fold. ATM, mobile, landline and a host of other technology needed networking. Similarly, the security of network in areas like banking and internet was critical. Ethical hacking has assumed importance. Hence, job opportunities will grow tremendously.

Claiming Rooman as a world leader, he said that it has been consistently delivering training to corporate clienteles like Infosys and Wipro since its inception in 1999. It has trained around a lakh professionals, including about 30,000 at the higher end.

It had authorisation from over 10 IT gians like Comptia, Checkpoint, ISS, Prosoft, Microsoft, RED Hat, Symantec, Watchguard, Trend Micro and Ec-Council.

It has captured a major share of some 30-40 per cent of the training offered for international certifications and has set up branches in Canada, Colombo and Dar-es-Salaam, director Naganand added.
