I a 22 yr. IT guy with 16 yrs. HP3k and personally I
don't know why anyone would want to pursue or care
about this particular cert. Just my opinion. As much
as I hate it, the HP3k market, shops, places with it
fully running production, conferences/workshops, new
sales, new ERP on that platform, and technical
knowledge is DEAD or quickly DYING. When will folks
realize this? Turnover to other platforms and skills
is at an all time high. Universities and corporations
are de-commissioning there boxes at an astounding
rate. How do I know this, by being a contractor since
1997. I could go on and on about this trend. I
asked......who was it, I forget, but some vendor who
puts on training to become MPE cert isn't getting ANY
paying students, none. So why does the board or anyone
else lobby for something that frankly - and
realistically, just plan out isn't in "demand"? I
appreciate efforts, but really? I can think of a dozen
former and/or dwindling HP3k guys who are now pursuing
MS cert's; there is no way they'd want to spend $ or
time on certifying as MPE.
Hmmmmm.
