Centriq Training Offers Youth Technology Summer Camp Like No-Other
Programming instructors will teach kids to build a website in just one week.
Leawood, KS. (July 11, 2016) – Geek Week at Centriq Training isn’t your typical summer camp! There won’t be the usual activities like swimming, hiking, camp fires and ghost stories.

The high level of interest in Centriq’s inaugural Geek Week summer camps stems from the familiarity that Generation Z (the kids currently in Middle School and High School) has with technology.

This desire is what motivated Centriq to create Geek Week.Read More

Social Networks for the Enterprise
With almost every major IT supplier and a number of high-profile startups wanting a piece of the enterprise social networks market, there are many key providers companies are using or evaluating. And, since it’s been four years since Microsoft acquired Yammer and they are still working to integrate it with Office 365, the question remains, will it become the go-to social network for enterprise companies?
