(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Capgemini to Certify 100 IT Consultants Under AIIM Certified Information
Professional Program
SILVER SPRING, MD and UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS--(Marketwire - June 6, 2012) -
AIIM, the global community of information professionals, today announced that
Capgemini, Europe's largest computer consultancy, and its business partners will
certify 100 information technology consultants under AIIM's Certified
Information Professional (CIP) program.
With the creation of the first global credential of its kind, AIIM is addressing
the changing role of the information professional and working closely with
leading solution providers to include CIP training and certification as part of
their employee and client education programs. For solution providers, CIP
certification provides a cost-effective way to ensure that their consulting
teams stay current with fast-changing information management trends and
technology.
As another sign of the deepening relationship between AIIM and Capgemini, AIIM's
Andrew Graham will be delivering a talk titled "The Era of Extreme Information"
at the Capgemini ECM event in The Netherlands, June 6 in Utrecht. The talk will
focus on the need to manage the volume, variety and velocity of structured and
unstructured data.
"We see the CIP program as the premier credential in the information management
segment," said Yvo Booisma, Domain Director Enterprise Content Management, of
Capgemini. "More and more of our clients are asking for consultants who hold the
CIP designation because it signifies that they have the ability to bridge the
worlds of IT and business. Information management practices are shifting
rapidly, and by working with AIIM, we are staying on top of these changes."
AIIM's CIP designation has been adopted by information professionals in more
than 17 countries and is gaining recognition from industry experts and analysts
as the designation capable of demonstrating the mastery of knowledge needed by
the new roles of information professionals.
"The convergence of social, local and mobile technologies is having a dramatic
impact on information management across Europe," said Graham, who directs AIIM's
business in Europe. "By working with leading solution providers such as
Capgemini, we are putting the CIP program to work by giving them and their
clients the knowledge and tools they need to address this shifting landscape."
AIIM Training and Certificate Programs are designed by a team of subject matter
experts and capture the best practices from more than 65,000 members of the AIIM
global community. With AIIM programs, information professionals can expand
skills and demonstrate abilities through classroom courses or online self-pace
learning and demonstrate abilities through practitioner, specialist and master
certificate programs.
AIIM's CIP program, developed in accordance with ISO Standard 17024, helps to
ensure information professionals can strategically bridge IT and business to
keep pace with today's unprecedented technological change.
