Novell expands Certified NetWare Engineer program
New Enterprise CNE Certification Added In Response To Customer Needs
PROVO, Utah -- Dec 2, 1991 -- Novell today announced an expanded Certified
NetWare Engineer (CNE) program that adds a new level of CNE certification
which will be known as the Enterprise Certified NetWare Engineer (ECNE).
The changes, which take effect on February 1, 1992, allow CNEs to become
experts in the specialized aspects of networking that are necessary to
manage large enterprise networking environments.
"Because today's networks have become increasingly sophisticated and
complex, CNEs need additional training to help users take full advantage of
networking services and technologies to solve their computing problems, "
said Carolyn Rose, director of education. "The new program enables CNEs to
focus on the aspects of enterprise networking that are essential to their
specific customers, while continuing to provide quality networking
support."
"We intend to keep the CNE program vital and dynamic by adding courses and
certification criteria," said Mary Burnside, executive vice president of
corporate services. "In addition, Novell will continue to help grow the
network computing industry by working with organizations such as LANDA to
provide additional education and certification that meet the needs of the
changing marketplace."
Through the new certification program, customers who employ their own staff
of CNEs will be able to choose the certification path that is best suited
to their particular business. Though it is not a channel requirement,
NetWare Platinum and Gold resellers can employ ECNEs with certification in
areas that best suit the needs of their target market. These changes will
strengthen the reseller channel, and enable resellers to provide better
support for their customers. Novell will actively promote ECNE status
through marketing support in the industry.
