The BAG has formed a Strategic Partnership with Vertali UK Limited (Vertali), combining their expertise in providing IBM Mainframe skills and resources with our strengths in the provisioning of similar skills and experience to the local market, through our Grey Pool service offering and expanding it into the Asia Pacific Region.
Headquartered in the UK, Vertali has a long and distinctive pedigree providing IBM Mainframe skills and resources to organizations globally. Totally focused on IBM mainframe infrastructure, clients in the APAC Region will now benefit from our combined experience, expertise and resources.
We believe the callibre of the pool of IBM Mainframe consulting skills will be second to not many or none, from what you will not find anywhere else in the Region. This will include mainframe consultants, security experts and other senior practitioners vetted for their skills and ability, professionalism, integrity and communications.
With this partnership we plan to work with Clients in a range of domains including financial services, retail, utilities and government and our approach blends significant expertise with many years’ hands-on experience – delivering the focus and resources required to deal with a zSeries environment.
Vertali’s New To Z (NTZ) initiative is of particular interest to The BAG and integrating it with our Grey Pool service offering. NTZ is a 10-year program to develop the next wave of mainframe professionals: identifying potential “Old School” mainframers from our pool, 6-9 months of prep, and 12-18 months of mentoring and hands-on experience before NTZs are “released into the wild” within 3 years.
