Our take
It’s important to highlight the chase that human operators face, when being challenged by innovative technologies like AI and machine learning. Cloud Academy wants to confront the stance that everything will one day be machine operated, it claims human initiative and intuition is still and will be important in all aspects of computer software development. The company sets out to tackle this issue and create structured learning for companies in all cloud technologies - Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform to name a few.
Efficiency in companies is key and we’re all aware that cloud platforms are constantly evolving. This can lead to employees being caught out and lack the most updated training, hindering the confidence of the employee and the productivity of the company. Cloud Academy fills in the gaps and works with both the “students” in mind but also to help increase performance for the company through tech insights. Cloud Academy goes on to offer well designed programmes for each company to develop with the skills their specific team needs.
There is a boom for online training courses and so an opportunistic time for Cloud Academy. The importance of employee health and nurture is fundamental in companies nowadays so the demand for support like Cloud Academy is only rising. They’re a well established company now with a healthy roster of clients such as Regeneron and AXA, it’ll be interesting to see how they stay relevant as they face the challenges of the ever updating technology and need for human operators.
