iRise Adds Advanced Concepts Center to Roster of Regional Partners
This month iRise announced a partnership with Advanced Concepts Center (ACC), a consulting and learning solutions company. ACC offers technology education services to business analysts to improve employee productivity. We’re excited about this collaboration as it’s another step in normalizing visualization software as a global standard for companies building business applications. This partnership is, in part, a response to the evolving role of the business analyst (BA) in successfully communicating business initiatives.
In this new order where usability is king, the disconnect between business and IT is no longer acceptable. For many companies, the answer to this eternal question is the savvy business analyst; that rare bird who is both business- and technical-minded. According to Gartner Research there are 600,000 business analysts in the U.S. Like it or not, the BA is fast becoming a linchpin for which the success of business initiatives hinge. For iRise, training BAs on our visualization software is a natural fit. With ACC on board, the business analyst has even more training options available. We welcome them into our growing cadre of regional partners.
