Marius van Wyk, Operations and Technical
director at SkyGroup Communications
S
kyGroup Communications has
been appointed by Barco, a global
leader in enterprise collaboration
technology, as an official ClickShare training
centre in South Africa. “We have seen a surge in demand for Barco
solutions as today’s businesses seek to
become more collaborative in their approach
and dealings with their own internal and
external teams.
As a result of the appointment, SkyGroup is
able to provide its resellers with customised
training sessions on how to best use, deploy
and support Barco’s ClickShare. “As a training centre we can ensure our
resellers don’t just deliver solutions but
are able to use the knowledge they have
gleaned in the training to take their
customers to the next level.”
Not only will this aid resellers and partners
to better cater for a client’s needs but will
also help reduce technical queries around
various aspects of the products, which will be
covered in the training courses.
“Our appointment as an official Barco training
centre is a further step in our positioning as a
value-added distributor for our clients, taking
us beyond just being a provider of product,”
said Marius van Wyk, Operations and Technical
director at SkyGroup Communications.

As a Barco ClickShare Certified Training
Centre, SkyGroup will be offering both
specialist and technical expert training.
The courses on offer are ideal for sales
professionals looking to develop a deeper
understanding of the technologies that
they are selling. The ClickShare Technical
Expert module now offered by SkyGroup
focuses on installation engineers, giving
them the technical wherewithal to assist
clients with installations and support
queries. Resellers can use the courses
to ensure their vendor competency
requirements are met and that they retain
and maintain their status as authorised and
certified Barco resellers.
This provides end users with peace of mind
that their partners are well versed in the inner
workings of the full Barco solution stack.
“A core area of focus is in the training is
security,” added van Wyk.
“This is something that is of paramount
importance in a digitally connected world,
where infrastructure and devices are
continually at risk when it comes to
cyberthreats. A trained and certified
professional will now be able to ensure that
the right security measures have been put in
place when using Barco technology in
their business.” n
