The Business Technology Consumer
Network is proud to announce that we will began delivering our
professional development programs at Kent State University in
Spring Semester 2009! And we're on the schedule for Summer 2009, too!
The Consortium for Technology Portfolio
Management Excellence is an alliance unique in the world due
to its supplier-neutral and highly cost effective solutions for
common business technology asset management issues.
From Co-Founder
Alan Plastow:
“Companies are already spending
incredible—and frequently unnecessary—amounts of precious
resources in their race to establish and maintain viable and
dependable technology infrastructures. It's time to bring credible
low-cost techniques and simple-to-use business processes into
play—common sense techniques that have been proven to work in
literally any size business.
This cooperative group of academia,
government, and non profit businesses exists to help you filter out
the background noises of supplier hype and focus in on realistic
methods for sourcing, acquiring, and managing a wide range of
technology assets—without breaking the budget and without becoming
constant targets for software piracy litigation.
Our primary focus is on the business side--not the techie side--of IT and has been designed to help you extract serious bottom line
value from the existing chaos of typically out-of-control technology spending.”

This full instructor-led technology asset management program is not directly affiliated with the highly successful online knowledge programs The Network! has been delivering since 2006. However, you will receive the same--even better--training at the Kent Sessions AND you can get college credit.
