Technical Direction
KMA is technically focused on two platforms and two vendors, the iSeries 400/ IBM and Windows/Microsoft.  We intend to leverage our existing skills to continue growth and to position ourselves to take increasing advantage of prevalent and emerging technology trends (i.e. database technology, multi-tier architecture, the Internet and e-business). 

Objectives
The objectives of this program are:

As a demonstration to our consultants, clients and prospects, we are committed to the ongoing development and improvement of our consultants' skills and our services.

Strengthen our core technical competencies and support our current technical direction.

Enhance our consulting skills on our target platforms for the purpose of supporting the sales process and to increase our “presence” while on assignment.

Enable an easier transition of resources and/or focus by raising, broadening, and, to some degree, “homogenizing” the base level of skills within our company.

This program is not intended as a replacement or impediment to additional initiatives to develop value-offerings, partnerships with package vendors, or any other activity.  It is a fundamental component for our personnel and the company that will assist them.

Incentive Program
The program is open to employees only. Please contact KMA for specifics of our incentive program.

The steps of any path must be completed in order to receive the financial incentive.

KMA will support these training efforts primarily through the use of self-study materials, including book purchases, CBT materials, study-time, etc. Formal classroom training will be used sparingly, in instances where a train-the-trainer situation can be constructed, or where client requirements dictate.

All training plans need to be pre-approved by your manager. Circumstances may alter requirements. Programs are subject to change (with due consideration for those underway), either by KMA, or by the vendors, with the intention of keeping the targeted skills as relevant and current as possible.
