August 28 2019 - 11:00AM
Pluralsight, Inc. (NASDAQ: PS), the enterprise technology skills
platform, today announced an expansion of the company’s skill
development initiative for Microsoft Azure. This skill coverage
expansion includes the introduction of five new Role IQs, 22 new
Skill IQs and 98 courses that map to the new Role IQs, which are
designed to help customers rapidly index their teams’ skills on
Azure and help close resulting gaps.
“The rapid expansion of cloud computing in the enterprise is one
of the core drivers that power business today. However, technology
leaders must be able to ensure that their teams have the necessary
skills to take advantage of the cloud. Pluralsight is a key
enabling partner for these technology leaders to help them as they
drive toward cloud maturity,” said Nate Walkingshaw, Chief
Experience Officer, Pluralsight. “Our deep relationship with
Microsoft has enabled us to work together to give Azure customers
the tools they need to quickly assess the knowledge and skill base
of teams and develop a skill development strategy that will ensure
project success and maximize returns on their cloud
investments.”
The expansion of Pluralsight Skills for Azure will deliver newly
developed Role IQs, Skill IQs and courses designed to provide a
skill development path for many of the most in-demand skills in
tech. These new Role IQs, which are specifically tailored to key
Azure roles and Microsoft’s official role-based certifications,
include:
- Microsoft Azure AI Engineer
- Microsoft Azure Data Engineer
- Microsoft Azure Data Scientist
- Microsoft Azure DevOps Engineer
- Microsoft Azure Security Engineer
“Azure is a customer-driven cloud platform that enables
organizations to tackle their biggest technology challenges. We see
Pluralsight as a core partner to help our customers drive project
success,” said Jeff Sandquist, General Manager, Partner and
Developer Relations at Microsoft Corp. “Pluralsight provides
technology leaders the necessary means to measure skills across
their teams and to skill up people on the Azure roles needed to
successfully drive cloud adoption.”
Pluralsight’s Role IQ enables CIOs, CTOs, and other technology
leaders to determine the role proficiency of each person in their
organization and design customized path to give them the skill base
they need to ensure success in their role.
“The cloud of the next five years will be markedly different
from that of the past decade, with the focus shifting to the
‘distributed cloud’ - as the public cloud leaders’ innovative
services become deployed in enterprise datacenters; in distributed
locations like retail stores, branch offices, factories and
hospitals; and at an expanding variety of edge locations,” says IDC
analyst Frank Gens.
To help enterprises prepare for the evolving nature of cloud
computing, Pluralsight offers the largest and most robust
technology skills platform for improving cloud expertise. With a
rapidly expanding number of cloud skill development paths covered,
Pluralsight Skills delivers a comprehensive tool for IT leaders to
ensure that employee skills align with the needs of every cloud
initiative.
