Asynchrony Solutions

Training & Workshops

To paraphrase the old adage, we’d much rather teach people to catch their own fish.

Learn Tomorrow’s Skills, Today

Asynchrony believes in sharing our wealth of expertise to help organizations meet both immediate and future needs. From XML and Java to leading-edge approaches like agile development and Web Ontology Language, we provide advanced training to enterprise IT staffs in search of high-level applied knowledge.

Our training services offer individual curricula with the scope and content tailored to the client’s aims. Every program is completely customized and related to specific issues. We understand that canned courses and rote exercises cannot meaningfully address the unique needs of any enterprise, and our deep reservoir of expertise enables us to present instruction that simply isn’t available in any prepackaged training program.

We don’t want to set up a permanent encampment in any organization, so we instead teach our clients to apply technology and programming methodology to their own real-world scenarios. To paraphrase the old adage, we’d much rather teach people to catch their own fish.

This knowledge transfer can take a variety of forms, depending on the client’s needs. In some cases, we literally sit shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients and walk them through the process of writing code, line by line. Other times, a workshop in a classroom setting may be more appropriate. Training can take place at our offices or the client’s and can last as long as necessary (but, we hope, not a minute longer). Through all these variables, one constant remains: helping our clients attain the understanding they need to meet the particular challenges they face.

Agile Training

One area of training that Asynchrony has come to specialize in is helping organizations employ agile development methods. This doesn’t refer to a programming language or any particular piece of technology; agile development is a methodology, a disciplined process of software development. In contrast to more rigid earlier methodologies, agile development emphasizes adaptation to change rather than resistance to it, and people rather than processes.

Our Agile Training has been provided to development teams of all sizes in a variety of settings – from small teams embedded with our own developers to learn agile methods in conjunction with a specific development project, to large IT organizations who seek onsite training and instruction. The expertise of our course instructors is in high demand among organizations that seek to gain competitive advantage and enterprise efficiency by producing better software.

A key differentiator for Asynchrony’s Agile instructors is that they do much more than simply conduct our training programs. They are experienced software developers who live and work on agile teams every day, implementing and refining the processes they teach to others. They share a unique combination of technical skills and training capabilities not often found among other Agile consultants. Additionally, we are software agnostic and can offer objective consulting related to tools that will best suit each client’s organization and infrastructure.
