Introduction to Cloud Services IT
MCC’s Cloud Services IT program is evolving as the Cloud evolves, and graduates of this holistic program are prepared for real job opportunities with competitive salaries.
The use of cloud services by IT departments large and small has exploded. While the job of IT or System Administrator will continue to exist, the fabric of the position itself is changing to one where a manager is managing services not always located in-house. In the past little or no focus had been placed on “As A Service” (aas) management, this program addresses that shortcoming.
