ITE have signed an MOU with HP to collaborate on the setup of the ITE-HP Business Continuity Technologies Center on 4 Aug 2009. As part of the MOU, Vendpoint has been appointed by HP to work with us on developing a total of 180 hours (80T/100P) of curriculum materials for two modules - Storage Networking and Business Continuity Technologies.

In order for our staff to be able to deliver the module effectively, Vendpoint was also requested to provide a total of 80 hours of training for teaching staff from both College West and College East. Through the engagement process, we found the staff from Vendpoint (Chris TAN) to be very knowlegeable in the technical contents and he stayed flexible in meeting the busy schedules of our staff from the 2 colleges.

Other than the training and assisting us in the curriculum development process, the staff also played a key role in helping us prepare a BC/DR demonstration on the day of the MOU signing ceremony, where the top management of both ITE and HP, plus the journalists from Channel News Asia and LianHe ZaoBao.

Overall, we find Vendpoint to be very professional in their work and is always ready to go the extra mile for us.

Vendpoint was asked to deliver a specialized sales training course in each of the main cities of New Zealand over a 2 week period specifically for Gen-i, who through mergers and acquisition had recently become the largest ICT and HP Reseller in our country.

Establishing HP's credibility with this new entity and creating a competitive advantage for HP and the client from these events was crucial to both HP and the partner’s senior management who sponsored the event for over 120 sales professionals.

Both HP and our client were delighted with the high quality, relevance and professionalism of this sales training experience measured both in terms of management and student feedback and also the number of accreditations received from students passing their formal exams after the event.

The Vendpoint instructor was very knowledgeable, was an excellent instructor and with very good English language and interpersonal skills quickly built rapport with his audience and won their full confidence.

Despite the course being condensed into 1 day at our request (this course would normally have taken 2 days) all but 3 of the 120 students who sat the exams passed and received their HP Accredited Sales Professional (ASP) certification.

As a result of this very positive experience HP New Zealand has subsequently engaged Vendpoint on two further training assignments in New Zealand and they are now our training delivery organisation of choice.

We were rolling out a new Marketing Planning System across the region and needed to conduct effective user training to many users in many countries in a short timeframe. VendPoint was able to quickly come up to speed on the system usage as well as understand the business processes in order to provide an effective learning experience for the new users. The trainers received high ratings for their delivery, helpfulness, and knowledge. Thanks to the help of VendPoint we were able to quickly implement this new initiative in order to enhance our Marketing planning and effectiveness.
