Welcome to EMC Education Services
With our continued focus on creating a simple, predictable and profitable environment for our Partners,
we have made changes to the development path for Partner individuals in 2014. Partners will enjoy a
broader scope of development courses, tools and skills programs. This improved development process
will result in a more efficient and profitable sales team.
BUSINESS PARTNER ACADEMY
New in 2014 is the Business Partner Academy; a centralized location for development resources across
Partner types. Here you will have access to training and enablement resources tailored to your specific
relationship with EMC. You will be able to access required training applicable to your partnership, as well
as optional materials designed to further develop your knowledge of EMC products, solutions, services,
and messaging. In addition, you can also explore the enablement resources for different partner types
including Federation Partners.
ON-BOARDING
For those new to their roles or partnering with EMC we offer a recommended orientation program, Fast Start,
prior to diving into product and solution training.
Fast Start
provides an introduction to EMC and the storage
industry, as well as information relating to the varying partner types within the Business Partner Program.
Leverage this tool within your first few days selling EMC to accelerate your time to productivity.
CORE DEVELOPMENT
The next step in the development process is the
EMC Technologies
Program. Students will learn foundational
knowledge of EMC products for both Sales and Technical roles, including product introductions and their
associated use cases and tools. Additionally, you are provided customer facing collateral such as white board
and messaging techniques, demos and other tools to assist in your selling motion. This program enables you
to comfortably initiate and lead a sales conversation, while speaking confidently to EMC’s portfolio of
products, ultimately ensuring that you position the right solution to your customers. There are no required
prerequisites for the EMC Technologies program.
Once you have earned your Sales or Systems Engineer (SE) credential in the EMC Technologies you can move
on to the
Converged Infrastructure
Program. This development program will provide you with an in-depth
understanding of converged infrastructure methodologies and solutions. You will start with an overview of
the three paths to the cloud, customer challenges, the market opportunity and the fundamentals of VSPEX
and Vblock. With that foundation, you’ll now choose if you want to learn more about EMC’s VSPEX or VCE’s
Vblock.
The VSPEX curriculum, which is available in a Sales and SE track, will introduce you to the VSPEX program
and business framework and will provide you with a deep understanding of VSPEX business and application
relevance. SE’s will also learn how to effectively size VSPEX solutions. Available to the VCE partners, the
Vblock curriculum will provide you with all the information you need to sell and architect Vblock solutions.
EMC Technologies credential is a required prerequisite for the Converged Infrastructure program.
At the most advanced level of core development is the
EMC Solutions
program. These intimate, interactive
virtual workshops are based on the existing sales playbooks. The workshops will guide you through specific
plays for each solution and teach you how to address your customers’ business challenges with solution
selling. The learning format for these workshops is unlike anything else in our Sales and Presales
develop-ment portfolio. You will be able to collaborate interactively with both the instructors and your peers through
virtual exercises. This will allow you to experience live workshop-like interaction without taking time out of
the field for travel. Both EMC Technologies and Converged Infrastructure credentials are required
prerequi-sites for the EMC Solutions program.

IT-as-a-Service Expert Exam (E20-918)
IT-as-a-Service Planning and Design
This expert-level course provides the knowledge and skills necessary to design cloud-based IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) solutions. Building on the skills acquired in the Virtual Data Center and Cloud Infrastructure Planning and Design specialist-level course, it focuses on business, organizational, governance, technology, and service management aspects from a design-centric perspective. By utilizing lecture, discussions, case studies, design examples, and a series of interactive problem-solving labs, students will learn to design solutions which transform business operations and virtualized data centers into ITaaS environments. The course is applicable to enterprise, service provider, and existing virtualized data center operations considering ITaaS. This course uses an ‘open’ approach focusing on core concepts, principles, and technologies rather than specific products. To provide context, the course includes EMC specific examples and case studies
5 Days 5 Days
• Describe the IT-as-a-Service business transformational model
• Perform an IT-as-a-Service assessment and propose a service delivery roadmap • Recommend and design an IT-as-a-Service service delivery model
• Design and defend an IT-as-a-Service solution Recommended pre-requisites:
• Five or more years of design experience in compute, network and storage, including the design of virtualized infrastructures in support of key cloud attributes
• Understanding of services lifecycle, cloud delivery and service models concepts. • Strongly recommend certifications or skills equivalent to VCP, CCDA and EMCDCA.
