The case for a Cooperative Certification Program

Whether you are a self-commissioning end user, a multi-site integrator or a smaller reseller, your time is important and needs to be spent on what keeps your business going. Why would our industry require multiple certifications on different products that are similar and share a basic skillset for deployment?

Each manufacturer would like the opportunity to tell their story in front of these key influencers, and then train on the nuances of product deployment and adjustment. I'm thinking that on one hand manufacturers might find the comparison less fruitful, but on the other there's an opportunity to meet end users and resellers they would not have.

Why end user's? There are a number of multi-site, large end users that will always use integrators for product purchase and commissioning, but need an understanding of the system deployment for planning, design and maintenance.

Stayed tuned; we may just be making history on this, yet!

There are so many power silos proliferating (and that's in every industry). But it would be productive and wonderful to get people to partner.
