About Paul Kaplan

Digital transformation failure is not a tech issue—it is a people challenge. Cloud Institute focuses on the people part to enable digital transformation success. We are founded on the belief that a paradigm shift is needed in the way people acquire and master new skills. In the digital age, our focus needs to be on helping people acquire and apply skills and less focused on the memorization of content. Our Strength. Cloud Institute acknowledges that no two people and no two teams have the same needs or learn in the same way. A 1990s-style online course catalog where people can pick and choose what they ‘think’ they need is not always the most effective option for IT training. Instead, a truly custom program is what delivers results. We develop hyper-relevant, custom programs focused on your team’s outcomes. You may need one course or that “all-you-can” eat subscription. Or you may need no course at all and will benefit most from a focused Challenger Lab bundle. Our process will drive your unique outcomes faster and with less wasted resources, saving time and money. Some examples of how we have helped clients: Public Consulting - Needed to have a specific number of certified AWS Solution Architects to keep their AWS Partner Level status. The solution: They bought one online course instead of a full subscription, saving thousands of dollars. Global financial firm – They were moving to multi-cloud architecture on a critical migration and required training relevant and specific to their tech stack. Not a generic Certification Course. The solution: We delivered live instructor sessions, focused on their environment, and ensured that their entire team were project ready at the same time.
