CloudShare Partners with Administrate to Boost Organizations’ Software Training Efficiency

CloudShare to Showcase Integration of Its Virtual Training Labs with Administrate’s Training Management System at Administrate’s EdTech Event, LITE 2017

San Francisco, CA, September 19, 2017 – CloudShare, a leading supplier of specialized cloud-based IT lab environments for software training, sales demos and PoCs (proof of concept), and development and testing, today announced that it has partnered with Administrate to enable software training organizations to increase efficiency with deep integration between the two solutions. CloudShare will be showcasing its integration with Administrate at LITE 2017, Edinburgh’s premier Edtech event, taking place on September 21 and 22 at the offices of Codebase, the UK’s largest technology incubator.

Administrate, based in Edinburgh, provides cloud-based software training platforms used by blue-chip clients such as PwC and the University of York to enable them to manage online teaching programs. By integrating with CloudShare, training organizations can create an easily scalable, complex training environment in the cloud so that students can practice their skills in a no-risk atmosphere. The integration helps organizations save time and increase accuracy when synchronizing classes, students, and instructors.

“At Administrate, our goal is to make training management simple, and when combined with CloudShare, it creates a seamless experience,” said John Peebles, CEO at Administrate. “Attendees at LITE 2017 will be able to see firsthand how our integrated solutions take care of the management and technical details so that training organizations can focus on what they do best: ensuring their students master important new skills.”

“One of the primary applications for our solution is within the training industry, and our partnership with Administrate is a natural fit,” said Zvi Guterman, Founder and CEO of CloudShare. “We make the complex task of setting up and scaling a training environment simple. Together with Administrate, we enable training organizations to spend much less time on technical and administrative details so they can spend more time creating and providing high-quality programs for their students.”

At the LITE event, Lee Berkman, Virtual Labs and Business Development expert for CloudShare and Troy Michels, Chief Product Officer for Administrate, will be co-presenting a session entitled, “A Day in the Life of a Highly Integrated Training Scenario”. Berkman will also present two other sessions on: “How to Boost Business with Virtual Training Labs” and “The Digital Nomad and Other Cases for Virtual Labs.”
