Visesh sinks its teeth into trainin

New Delhi-based Visesh Infotecnics, which is into end-to-end solution
providing, is now making its foray into the training business as well. To start
with, the company will offer training courses for mainframes for corporates who
want to teach their staff on these technologies. Visesh is talking to a US-based
training institute to formalize courses that can be offered to the target
clientele.

Said Sanjiv Bhavnani, MD, Visesh Infotecnics, "We realized the
opportunity in offering training in mainframes when we were deploying a project
for the Revenue Department in Thailand. Getting people trained on this
technology was very difficult and qualified personnel would ask for very high
salaries that most corporate houses could not afford." This is precisely
why Visesh will first have a test run of these courses in Thailand and based on
its success, it will then offer it to other countries as well.

Initially, the company plans to offer these training courses directly to
corporates by April 2005. Later, it will offer these to the public as well two
months after that, through training institutes. These courses will cover issues
like how to work on the IBM Rational or Java mainframe and graduate from one
technology to another seamlessly.
