Banyan Commerce ties
up with world leader RFID4U to offer free RFID courses in Canada.
Toronto,Canada, December
17,2007—Banyan University (Banyan U), the training
division of Banyan Commerce announced their alliance with RFID4U, the world’s
largest RFID elearning portal. Banyan U will offer RFID courses along with RFID
certification classes to the Canadian corporate and government sector. This is
the first time such classes will be available in an elearning format in Canada. The
free courses are targeted at small and medium enterprises and are comprehensive
in nature like RFID Basics and RFID compliance for DOD.
Banyan U until recently only offered courses to members of Banyan Circle– a
user group for Banyan, Integral and Tangentia Customers. This is the first
attempt to provide courses to non users of the Banyan Commerce software
platform.
Announcing the alliance Sanjiv Dua, CEO of RFID4U says ”We are
looking forward to working with Banyan U to provide courses with Canadian
content, Canadian context and possibly Canadian pricing.” All the courses
provided by RFID4U will be available in French in the near future and there is
an introductory 10% discount for Canadian organizations on all courses.
Initial course offering will be elearning courses which can also
be had on a site license basis for organizations wanting multiple users to
undergo the same training course. Classroom sessions will be arranged onsite
for larger Companies and government organizations. Regular classroom sessions
are planned for Toronto, Montreal,
Calgary and Vancouver in 2008.
Tamas Perlaky, a partner at Banyan Commerce was upbeat about the
alliance. He said “With RFID education, we think Canadian companies can take
better decisions in terms of their RFID solutions and not just get swayed by
vendor’s marketing spin. We think that educating customers and finding out that
they select a competitor’s solution is a risk worth taking”.
Banyan U also plans to open portions of Banyan Labs to the public
as a demo lab for companies to see how technology – EDI,
RFID, Bar-Coding and Data Synchronization can make B2B simpler.
