Pluralsight, the technology learning platform, today announced it is partnering with Microsoft to upskill Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 developers. Microsoft has further announced that all Visual Studio subscribers will receive free access to Pluralsight’s technology learning platform.
Pluralsight is an enterprise technology learning platform that delivers a unified, end-to-end learning experience for businesses across the globe. Through a subscription service, companies are empowered to move at the speed of technology, increasing proficiency, innovation and efficiency.
Expect to hear more from Pluralsight as it actively begins to promote its products to enterprises. The company has been working with Indian enterprises like Tech Mahindra and even Flipkart over the last two years but has recently initiated an aggressive plan to reach out to more enterprise clients in India.
Currently around 70 percent of their business comes from business clients and subscription prices are 40 percent less for India than they are in the US and stand at around 300 rupees a person. The company which started around the same time as Udacity, will be looking to convince their SME and larger clients that Pluralsight is just as important as it US competitive counterpart.
“Our technology learning platform enables enterprise tech teams to master the most critical technology tools and skills out there,” said Aaron Skonnard, cofounder and CEO of Pluralsight. “We’re proud to partner with Microsoft for the third consecutive year to provide the best learning experience to the Visual Studio network, empowering developers to keep up with the rapid pace of technological change and gain a true competitive advantage.”
Announced as part of the Visual Studio 2017 launch, Pluralsight will provide Microsoft Visual Studio subscribers with access to learn from industry experts on core topics like Microsoft Azure, .NET, SQL Server, Angular, SharePoint, C#, Javascript and more as part of their benefit package. Visual Studio subscribers can also take advantage of the comprehensive Pluralsight technology learning platform, designed to empower technology professionals to master key technologies and stay ahead of the curve as new technologies are introduced.
“A key part to our vision of ‘Any Developer, Any App, Any Platform’ is helping our Visual Studio subscribers and Dev Essentials members stay on the leading edge of innovations in app development technology,” said Shawn Nandi, senior director of cloud app dev and data marketing for Microsoft Corp. “Pluralsight has proven its ability to deliver high quality, up-to-date learning, and with the addition of their adaptive skill measurements and curated learning paths, partnering with them was a natural next step to best support the needs of our subscribers.”
