RIM Rolls Out New BlackBerry Certification Program

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Research In Motion (RIM) has announced a new BlackBerry Certification
Program that will extend a certification testing service in support of
the BlackBerry wireless platform.

The company said the new BlackBerry Certification Program is intended
to provide an empirical means of measuring and validating the real
world skills and knowledge used in planning, administering and
supporting BlackBerry product deployments.

The program, which is designed for IT professionals and consultants as
well as wireless carriers and other BlackBerry partners, will be
available in 135 countries.

"BlackBerry products and services are available from over 300 carriers
in 135 countries around the world and there is substantial demand for
qualified IT professionals that are certified to support BlackBerry
solutions," said Peter Broughall, VP of Customer Support Operations at
Research In Motion. "Staff certified under the new BlackBerry
Certification Program can use their skills in planning and managing
deployments to help organizations maximize their investment in the
BlackBerry platform."

Additional certifications for individuals planned to be available in
2009 include BlackBerry Certified Enterprise Application Developer,
BlackBerry Certified Trainer, BlackBerry Sales Expert and BlackBerry
Expert User. Organizational certifications planned for 2009 include

BlackBerry Certified Reseller and BlackBerry Certified Training Center,
the company noted.

RIM said that it is working in collaboration with two leaders in
certification testing. Alpine Testing Solutions, which provides testing
solutions with an emphasis on customer needs, service and satisfaction,
is developing and designing the certification exams. Prometric, a
provider of technology-enabled testing and assessment services, is
supplying a suite of services, including test development, test
delivery and data management capabilities to enable the BlackBerry
Certification Program to be offered as a highly controlled, proctored
testing service at over 4700 test centers in 135 countries.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
