The first company to give training and certification in this domain
Mumbai, 01 Aug 2007: Four Soft (4S) (NSE: "FOURSOFT", BSE: 532521), a global leader in software solutions for transportation, logistics (T&L) and supply chain management has recently launched a program to train and certify professionals in the Transportation and Logistics space. This course is aimed not only for those who have professional experience in this segment but also to assist students who aim to be a part of the T&L industry. Currently the program is being provided in Hyderabad but there are plans to conduct in other cities as well.
Books/courses on SCM offer generic information from a limited perspective of the author. B-schools do not equip the professionals with the latest knowledge and skills as very few specialized courses are targeted at this domain. FourSoft has realized that, the business dynamics within an organization coupled with the technology changes happening everyday demand and more pro-active approach is required to manage process knowledge.
Hence, 4S has come up with this training and certification course to empower a professional with necessary skills to grow in this industry.
4S a recognized leader in providing Enterprise Applications for Transportation & Logistics is playing a vital role in redefining the business processes and contributing to the evolution of the industry and this is a step towards this. Added to this is an internal force of dedicated functional experts, who are contributing to innovations every day.
Speaking about 4S certification programs, Mr. Srikanth Palem, CEO said, “The industry business practices and processes are evolving at a rapid pace driven by technology innovations. We would like to share the knowledge we gained over the years by, developing our product suite and implementing the solutions for leading players of this segment in the industry. This offering essentially fills the void in knowledge between industry and academia”.
Mr. Mahaboob Hussain, VP (Product Development & Technology) who will direct the certification programs added, “Trainings offered inside the organizations are specific to their processes and do not offer the industry best practices. We feel this is an important element in making the training effective”.
The pilot batch of the certification program has been recently completed in Hyderabad. Sunny, one of the student of the pilot batch said, “This program has helped me in gaining the process perspective of the industry, which is not offered at any academic courses in B-schools. It has been of tremendous value in learning about the emerging trends in the industry and how the same can be applied in the organization that I am presently working in”.
