Certification for Organizations

Organizations invest in certification to ensure their employees have the skills necessary to make the company more competitive and increase ROI. Certification ensures developers have the skills needed to increase productivity, reduce the risk of project failure or delay, develop robust applications, and increase customer satisfaction. Certification shows employees that a company is willing to invest in their success, which can also reduce turnover and increase employee morale.

The Benefits of Certification for Organizations

Greater Competitive Advantage

Studies have shown that organizations with certified developers have improved efficiency and productivity, enjoyed a lower risk of project failure, and increased customer satisfaction. The results are reduced costs and increased ROI.

Adoption of Uniform Corporate Development Practices

It is difficult to manage the consistent use of companywide development practices and standards. These standards address user interface design, design for code reuse, documentation, and so on. NI Certification ensures developers understand the need for high-quality development practices - from creating a part of a program to the complete application architecture.

Lower Support Costs

Internal expertise reduces the time needed to resolve issues and communicate with external support organizations. When it is necessary to communicate with technical support organizations, the increased skills possessed by certified employees enables them to clearly communicate problems and get problem resolution more quickly.

Improved Staff Retention

Organizations and managers can use NI Certification to clearly define career and skill development goals. This leads to greater recognition and promotion opportunities for individual employees. These structured development programs increase individual job satisfaction and have a positive impact on company retention rates. With increased retention, the cost of recruiting and replacing experienced developers is reduced.

Team and Community Development

Certification helps individuals identify their peers within organizations and develop informal and formal channels of communication. Certified employees can develop communities that discuss the use of good development practices and style. Other employees can take advantage of the experience of the community and develop their own skills. Companies benefit through increased communication of good development practices and productivity improvements.
