SAIR, Inc. Establishes Office in
Raleigh NC to Lead East Coast Operations
Oxford, MS (Nov. 18, 1999) - Sair, Inc. announced today the opening
of an office in Raleigh, North Carolina to direct east coast operations
in response to the growing worldwide administration of Sair's Linux and
GNU training and certification program.
“We are pleased to announce the opening of our new office in Raleigh,”
said P. Tobin Maginnis, president and founder of Sair, Inc. “Our
expansion was driven by the growing demand for our Linux and GNU
certification training materials. The Research Triangle is
home to some of the best and brightest talent in the high-tech industry
and we are excited to have a presence in the area.”
Sair has selected Tammy Chin and Brent Fox to head the new East Coast
Division . “I am very confident in Ms. Chin and Mr. Fox’s ability
to set the foundation of our Raleigh office,” said Maginnis. “I
welcome them to the Sair team and look forward to their participation in
the continued development of our program and the growth of the open
source community.”
One of the initial projects Sair’s East Coast Division will be to assist
in the development of a series of Linux training materials for
Compaq Computer Corporation. Sair recently partnered with the
world’s second largest computer manufacturer to develop internal training
materials for Compaq’s key personnel worldwide.
SAIR, an acronym for Software Architecture Implementation and
Realization, is an Oxford, MS-based software development company that
produces educational and corporate training materials and certification
exams for Linux and GNU.
Sair Linux and GNU Certification is the first comprehensive, in-depth,
and objective certification program to be available world-wide.
Sair's Linux and GNU Certification exams are offered in three levels,
each consisting of four tests and is available worldwide through Sylvan
Prometric testing facilities.
As of December 1, 1999, Sylvan Prometric, the global leader in
delivery of IT certification testing, will offer four Sair Linux and GNU
Certification exams worldwide. Global publisher John Wiley &
Sons, Inc. announced its partnership with Sair, Inc., and will publish a
series of test preparation guides for the Sair Linux and GNU
Certification program which will be made available internationally.
Corporate training materials have been made available to Sair Accredited
Centers for Education (ACEs) and training is available or scheduled
throughout the U.S and in countries including Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, South Korea, China, Germany and Japan.
