2. Network Engineers Need It: Deployment of SDN is happening! The market is looking for a vendor-neutral, technology-inclusive training and an exam to validate the skills of network engineers. And vendor-specific network engineers are looking to future-proof their careers. Vendor-specific AND vendor-neutral skills are essential for success in SDN.

3. Help Organizations to Transition to SDN: The networking mindset needs to change when SDN is deployed. With training, you facilitate organizational skill-set migration.

4. Increasing respect for Vendor Neutral Certification in the Industry: Vendor-neutral certifications validate the candidate’s unbiased knowledge of technology principles. He/she is more likely to respond better in a multi-vendor environment having gone through training in a technology-inclusive program which focuses more on the methodology and technology than a specific brand or software.

5. Upselling and Cross-Selling Opportunity: Your existing learner base in networking management, development and operations will benefit from SDN training and certifications. You can develop a learning path to connect SDN with related domains of Cloud Computing, Virtualization, OpenStack and DevOps.
