Late last month, fellow writer and editor Greg Tavarez penned a great article about NinjaOne, a company that dedicates itself to automating the hardest parts of IT. By assisting IT teams with visibility, security and control over all their endpoints, NinjaOne’s solutions lead to IT automation successes (plus cost-cutting and risk-reduction measures, to boot). In Tavarez’s article, he specifically covered the expansion of the cloud-native NinjaOne Platform, mobile device management (MDM) and compliance, and how IT security and productivity can be measurably improved. Read the full story here.
Here's just a smidge more NinjaOne context: From its stealth mode emergence in 2015 to having surpassed 15,000 customers and 1,000 employees in 2023 (and an impressive $231.5 million Series C funding round earlier this year, made possible by Iconiq Growth), NinjaOne continues to hone its tightly integrated and scalable IT platform and provide what teams need for managing and fine-tuning distributed workforce capabilities.
And in further news, the company unveiled its NinjaOne Academy.
What is it, though?
In the words of Lindsay McChesney, the company’s Senior Director of Global Training and Enablement, the NinjaOne Academy “will offer a new certification program comprised of bite-sized learning modules, which have all been organized into a structured path. All content is delivered on demand so you can study at your own pace; once you’ve completed certification, you’ll get a NinjaOne Certified Technician credential you can post to your own networks, email signature and so on. This will proudly display what you’ve become certified in, and it allows you to stand out to your employer and fellow IT colleagues.”
“If you’ve always wanted to become a real IT ninja,” McChesney said, in closing, “now is your chance.”
The NinjaOne Academy is a free resource that can be tapped into to educate users on what it takes to navigate a robust endpoint management platform. According to the official announcement, this also enables teams to:
- Save Time and Resources: With a deeper knowledge of NinjaOne, IT teams become more efficient. By using the platform to its fullest (i.e. to simplify endpoint management and bolster cyber resilience), teams are freed up to prioritize more strategic projects.
- Secure a Skills Level-Up: NinjaOne providing high-quality technical training leads to improvements in employee satisfaction and retention. How? Namely, by building up their skills toolboxes, so to speak, and making them feel more valued. By equipping professionals with modules chock-full of endpoint management know-how, NinjaOne Academy also helps employees stand out and grow in their careers.
- Ensure Real IT Consistency: By training employees in endpoint management, organizations reduce back-and-forth woes and downtime, making their programs run more smoothly and delivering results more quickly.
The long-story-short of this, readers?
By completing NinjaOne Academy modules, IT professionals can expand their technical knowledge bases and learn a lot about remote monitoring, complex endpoint management, software installation, patch management and more.
“Endpoint management can be challenging and demanding, which is why we automate the hardest parts of IT so our customers can focus on their most impactful work. NinjaOne Academy is an extension of that promise,” said Michael Shelton, SVP of Strategy at NinjaOne. “We have a healthy obsession with customer success, which is why this certification comes at no cost to our customers – we want to support IT professionals not only in advancing their personal careers, but also in making their organizations run more efficiently and strategically.”
