“With the market intelligence, deep customer knowledge, geographic placement, and technical aptitude gained from years of providing Ciena solutions to our customers, we are now in a perfect position to further expand our offerings of support, which will include Ciena Learning Solutions.”

According to Vincent Morin, VP of global field systems engineering and knowledge transfer at Ciena, LightRiver will become a “valuable extension” of Ciena’s knowledge services capabilities to deliver educational programmes in support of its products and technology certifications.

“Our goal is to provide LightRiver and all users of Ciena’s solutions the knowledge and insights needed to be operationally successful,” said Morin.
