We interrupt the “Moving to Lync Server 2013″ series for a special post!
At the end of last year, we were approached by a Microsoft vendor in Washington State. The vendor was contacting Lync subject matter experts (SMEs) to assist in developing the next Lync certification exam: Exam 74-338—Lync 2013 Depth Support Engineer.
Would we be interested in participating in this process? Well…sure!
I’m reporting on this now, because Robert, head of PlanetMagpie, is in Washington State this week, helping to create this Lync certification exam.
From what I understand, the exam will be given to individuals who support troubleshooting of Lync Server 2013 environments. Candidates are IT support consultants or telecommunications support pros, who provide support services for Unified Communications (UC) solutions.
Robert is drawing on expertise gained from years of working with Microsoft’s OCS/Lync software and on our latest Lync Server 2013 installs. The goal: Exam questions that have real-world applicability, and direct relevance to actual IT server environments.
Everyone taking this Lync exam in the future will need to study up. Robert’s scrutiny won’t make it any easier!
Thank you to everyone who reads and enjoys this blog. And a big thank you to the vendor who asked us to participate in creating the next Microsoft Lync certification exam!
I’ll try to post Part 4 of “Moving to Lync Server 2013″ later this week.
