PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., March 25, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Strategies to help technology solution providers position themselves for growth in cloud computing, consulting services and other recurring revenue business opportunities are among the new educational options available from CompTIA, the IT industry association.

CompTIA this week released its IT Channel Training Guide for Spring 2015 in conjunction with its Annual Member Meeting.

Business transformation is a recurring theme across the IT channel, as companies look for ways to become less reliant on transactional product sales and more proficient at selling services that deliver a continuing stream of revenue. CompTIA research indicates that nearly 80 percent of U.S. channel firms have experienced some transformative activity in their business model.

"Even with this level of activity, 'business transformation' can be a mysterious and potentially scary concept for some channel partners," said Kelly Ricker, senior vice president, events and education, CompTIA. "We're taking away the fear factor about business transformation through new educational offerings based on proven, successful transformation strategies channel companies have used."

Three new courses have been created around the business transformation theme.

The Quick Start Session to Business Agility gives attendees the tools they need to stay relevant in a rapidly-changing industry. They'll gain a better understanding of IT market dynamics, learn how to evaluate market developments and assess how those dynamics can affect their business strategy.

The Quick Start Session to Understanding Your Balance Sheet explains how balance sheet information can help business owners make more informed decisions.

The CompTIA Executive Certificate in Financial Management helps solutions providers strengthen their businesses by sharpening their financial acumen. Attendees learn how to mine common business reports for business intelligence, implement best practices to maximize profitability and develop strategies for healthy, sustainable growth.

CompTIA's Spring 2015 training catalog also includes a number of Quick Start Sessions and Quick Start Guides on how to sell technology solutions into vertical markets.

Since 2011 CompTIA has created more than 300 channel training products. These resources are available to CompTIA Premier Members, Registered Users, partners and the broader IT industry. Visit https://www.comptia.org/events and https://www.comptia.org/insight-tools to learn more.
