The MAC Program provides IT consultants with the training and resources necessary to build profitable, value-added services for the design and deployment of distributed applications and enterprise networks.
"We are very excited about the potential of our relationship with MIL 3," said Peter Van Zant, Senior Vice President of ENTEX Information Services' Consulting Services Group. "Application responsiveness, scalability and network availability are fundamental to the ultimate success of our clients’ e-commerce offerings. MIL 3's MAC Program provides us with a sophisticated tool set to ensure the successful implementation of these business-critical solutions. The combination of ENTEX's expertise and experience and MIL 3's software capabilities creates a powerful team. It forms an integral part of ENTEX's differentiation in the e-commerce marketplace."
Tangible Benefits Create New Business Opportunities
The MAC Program offers several important benefits, starting with MIL 3’s award-winning IT DecisionGuru simulation software that provides a virtual proving ground in which consultants can experiment with countless “what if” scenarios to validate the reliability and performance of proposed network designs and application deployments. IT DecisionGuru enables consultants to create the best infrastructure solutions without high-risk, high-cost trial deployments.
In addition to the software, participating consultants gain comprehensive training to apply IT DecisionGuru to a wide array of IT scenarios, including voice-over-IP, enterprise resource planning, and e-commerce. MAC Program participants also receive sales training to help them differentiate their state-of-the-art services. Last but not least, MIL 3 accredited consultants are eligible to receive qualified sales leads from MIL 3’s worldwide customer base and ongoing, business-development campaign.
"The MAC Program is proving to be invaluable. It has enabled us to create a new business model for our network and application design services," said Larry Cromwell Vice President of Business Development at Aptia. “Many companies are anxious to jump into Internet commerce or restructure their business resources around intranets and extranets. The MAC Program helps us capitalize on this growing trend and is contributing to our overall business success.
Enrollment Information
The MAC Program is available for Gold and Platinum membership. For enrollment information, consultants should visit the MAC Program homepage or call MIL 3 at (202) 364-4700.
