Thursday, September 03, 2009 IBM has announced new and extended collaboration with three engineering and technology colleges in the state of Madhya Pradesh to provide a platform for development of software skills amongst the students. The collaboration has brought the establishment of a series of IBM Centres of Excellence (CoE), creating an opportunity for students to learn new skill sets on IBM software products – DB2, WebSphere, Lotus, Rational and Tivoli – as well as develop world-class business solutions.




The CoEs were launched at Government College Jabalpur, Shri Vaishnav Institute of Technology and Science (SVITS), Indore and Mahakal Institute of Technology (MIT), Ujjain.

IBM will follow a two-pronged approach, providing the colleges with access to technologies relevant to the market while ensuring the right skills are taught. The students can gain first-hand experience of the software products that are installed at the campus. Through this initiative, IBM will work closely with the colleges in the state of Madhya Pradesh, leveraging the selected colleges as centers of learning.

“Organisations are not looking for nuts-and-bolts programmers and easy-to-document support workers,” said Anil Menon, VP, channel, marketing and ecosystem, IBM India/South Asia. “The dynamic world of information technology requires talents to have a strong technology background supported by sharp business acumen and to be able to architect and implement IT plans to create high business value. IBM is establishing CoE to promote high-quality education by providing state-of-the-art and emerging technologies in colleges/universities with the objective of nurturing highly skilled computer professionals.”

The colleges will provide infrastructure and high-end systems while IBM will extend its entire range of software suite free of charge.
