Workshop - 2 Days
28 & 29 September 2017 YANGON

Trainer: Sng Kok Lam
Few businesses today can succeed without the use of technology. Your IT network is a critical part of this technology.
IT networks also play an increasingly vital role in enabling the participation and development of people in nations, communities and business organisations disadvantaged by geography.
As a business leader, manager or professional, an in-depth knowledge of IT networking to support your businesses will put you in a superior competitive position instead of being handicapped by it.
To help your business to remain competitive and achieve business goals, finding the right IT network for your organisation is key.
Why this Workshop
This workshop is designed such that it is no longer a great challenge for business leaders to understand IT networking needed to support your businesses.
You will not need to remember all the technologies and the applications. The focus is to equip you with the essential understanding so that you can choose the right solution appropriate for your business.
The workshop starts with an understanding of the concepts and ends with how you may apply it to your organisation.
