IAS Business Academy has been around for a long time, but has gone to a new structuring… Why?
We completed the restructuring process at IBA in 2019 and starting our work with this new structure in 2020. One primary motivating through this process was always the needs of our customers. Module training remains is a top priority for our customers and we continue to focus on this. Training demand has increased as we focus on continuous improvement as well as an expansion of customer portfolio and project portfolio. Another important driver for us is specialization. Education is a separate speciality and we made the decision to manage this separately and as a professional process and not as we do with other consultancy services. Our staff was developed with this goal in mind so our instructors have foreign language profeciency, instructor experience to provide global level training. In addition to the training services that we currently offer to our customers and business partners and other stakeholders, it is within the scope of IBA to meet the training needs of our employees. We are a constantly growing, developing and changing company. We are increasing our investment and opening new offices and growing our team daily. One of IBA responsibility in this new process is to promote our corporate mission, vision and values to our new members, provide orientation and effective training on our new products such as TROIA, caniasERP, caniasIQ and IASDB. These reasons were the key drivers in our restructuring
