New technical training from ihiji will run the length of August thru September, including special dates during CEDIA EXPO. Ihiji’s multi-platform technical training program seeks to address the scheduling needs of busy integrators interested in network management education. It will include cross-country live and collaborative training sessions, tradeshow educational opportunities, and intensive webinars.

The company’s VP of technology, Michael Maniscalco, will serve as an expert panelist for an upcoming CEDIA webinar on recurring revenue streams on August 27. The webinars include real-world examples, and live classroom training will be held at the upcoming CEDIA EXPO 2014 in Denver for in-depth hands-on instruction. Three different CEDIA CEU educational courses will be hosted by ihiji, and ihiji is also offering two stand-alone manufacturer training sessions. Additional training dates will be announced for the fourth quarter of 2014 and into 2015.

“Coming from the integration world ourselves, we know how incredibly busy systems integrators are. That is, in fact, a primary reason ihiji remote network management tools are so important and why they provide such a tangible benefit. That’s also why we don’t presume that those in the field can always take time away from the office or job sites to attend training sessions,” said Maniscalco. “Hence, we’ve structured our Multi-Platform Technical Training Program to provide integrators with a variety of educational opportunities that can be scheduled at a time that’s most convenient.”

In addition to the special Network Essentials webinars, ihiji will continue to conduct monthly technical training webinars, which are free of charge and open to dealers and other trade professionals looking to further their network management and/or ihiji invision skills.

Building on the several dozen ihiji educational opportunities that have already been conducted this year, integrators have access to the following ihiji training opportunities:
