Tech Data Launches 30 Days to Cloud Analytics Training

“Many organizations are leveraging cloud analytics as a way to reduce operational costs and gain better insights into their business,” said Colin Blair, vice president, Data Analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) at Tech Data. “Our 30 Days to Cloud Analytics offering lowers capital barriers and time-to-ROI for partners by providing a proven, repeatable cloud data migration and integration framework for their clients. By adding this tool to our partners’ arsenals, Tech Data provides them with the best solutions for cloud analytics and a way to accelerate their deployments.”

According to industry analyst firm IDC, cloud will be a preferred delivery mechanism for analytics by 2018.[1] This will partly be driven by new cloud pricing models, which are expected to contribute to five times higher growth in spending on cloud versus on-premise analytics solutions.[2]With Tech Data’s 30 Days to Cloud Analytics program, partners can develop in-house expertise for this opportunity. Additionally, Tech Data delivers a wide variety of cloud and analytics vendors that work in conjunction with the offering.
