Chariot Solutions Becomes Sonatype Certified Training Partner

Chariot Solutions, a leading technology consulting firm specializing in software development with Java and open source, announced today that it has become a Sonatype Certified Training Partner. Sonatype is caretaker of the Maven project and a leading provider of enterprise software development infrastructure.

Ken Rimple, Chariot Solutions’ Director of Education, believes that the agreement further strengthens the company’s strategy of providing top-notch technical training that is aligned to recognized industry standards. "We already have a strong portfolio of training courses," says Rimple, "and we’re pleased to add Sonatype and Maven to that list. Maven is one of the world’s premier software build platforms. To be one of the select group of training companies to be accredited by the developers of Maven is a real mark of distinction."

Sonatype chose Chariot Solutions partly because of its strong background and deep understanding of Java training - and software development training in general. "We have a strong track record in developer training and are pleased to add the Sonatype brand to our accreditations," says Rimple. "Being certified by Sonatype provides our clients with a greater assurance of quality and consistency."

"We are excited to have Chariot Solutions as a Certified Training partner,” said Jason van Zyl, CTO of Sonatype and creator of Maven. "Organizations can rely on Chariot Solutions to provide a quality learning experience that will help them gain the most business value from their investment in Sonatype."
