“[With] a combination of the network, the device and some application, there’s going to need to be some ‘wow factor’ that happens with WiMAX,” Alcorn said. “[Cognizant is] of the opinion that if it is more of the same of what we have today, it may struggle to get to a point where people make an economic decision to buy additional service.” Sprint’s Stroberg agreed with Alcorn: “We don’t have the exact combination yet, [but] it’s not just incumbent on [Sprint to come up with the ‘wow factor’].” The company has been encouraging other companies to take part in building WiMAX and the embedded devices it would support through its partnerships. Recognizing the challenges, “we’re coming anyway,” said Stroberg. Program Updates Cisco has unveiled the redesign of its CCVP professional-level voice certification program. The integration of more hands-on labs is the most sig- nificant change in the CCVP coursework. Students practice on live networks at Cisco learning partner sites and engage in lab activities that model the challenges of the real world. Other enhancements to the CCVP curriculum include the elimination of a course in gateways and gatekeepers. Instead, this information is integrated throughout the program’s courses, which frees up time to add more complex network exercises. Also, the curriculum now covers single-site, centralized and multi-site configurations. To gain CCVP certification, students must pass five qualifying exams, including three that are new to the program: CVOICE 6.0/624-436 Exam, CIPT1 6.0/642-446 Exam and CIPT2 6.0/642-456 Exam. There are two paths to the CCVP certification: the Cisco Unified CallManager v4.1 and the Cisco Unified Communications Manager v6.0. 8 – Meagan Polakowski, meaganp@certmag.com SERVING IT GOVERNANCE PROFESSIONALS ISACA Now Offering a New Certification in IT Governance Certified in the Governance of Enterprise ITTM (CGEITTM) recognizes IT professionals who have the knowledge, personal skill and business experience to maximize IT’s contribution to enterprise success while managing and mitigating the risks posed by IT. • Supports the growing business demands related to IT governance • Increases the awareness and importance of IT governance good practices and issues • Defines the roles and responsibilities of the professionals performing IT governance work Final Registration: 24 September 2008 First Exam: 13 December 2008 Grandfathering Program Now Available!
