About IMS
The course imparts knowledge, skills, competency, communication skills, troubleshooting / problem solving, professionalism and willingness to learn, adapt and be flexible.
After software services, and business processes, Infrastructure Management Services or IMS is considered the third (and probably the biggest) wave of outsourcing. Defined quite simply as managing of data, networks and security, either on-site or remotely, its net worth is pegged at over $200 billion globally. It is considered to be the world’s fastest growing multi-billion dollar IT services sector that helps companies make the most of their IT infrastructure.
IMS requires specialized professionals to operate, monitor, fault control and optimize information technology resources to increase the reliability of the IT Infrastructure of any enterprise organization.
Large IT organizations and IT consumers belonging to the US and Europe have begun outsourcing to India. The main reason behind such a move is cost-effective manpower and quality delivery of the required services.
Though seemingly simple, IMS comes with its won set of challenges: IMS needs a significant investment and skilled resources from the solution provider’s end. More than anything else, IMS is heavily people-dependent. No wonder today, there is five times the number of jobs as there as IMS professionals. The reason for this is that there are not enough IT professionals specifically trained in IMS-related skills.
