IT departments naturally normalize the technology infrastructure to exclusivelyutilize a vendor’s product line. The certification you chose will reflect that choice. In a Microsoft shop, an employee will seek Microsoft certification. If the shop focuses primarily on Cisco installations, then, a Cisco certification will be sought.

Clearly, choosing a vendor-specific certification will benefit you when the business is aligned with that vendor’s product; however, vendor-neutral certifications, that focus on a technology and not a product will put you at a true advantage at your current position and in the future. And for those people looking for employment, a vendor-neutral certification keeps your skills broad enough to fit the technical needs of many industries.

In its outlook for 2010, CertMag quoted Fred Weiller of Learning@Cisco as saying, it matters how quickly you can react to different situations. Fewer people with broader knowledge can act faster.” Choosing a vendor-neutral certification means that you have more reusable knowledge that is not relegated to a specific company’s product. Vendor-neutral certifications are based on industry and international standards that not only means that the knowledge can be leveraged in more scenarios, but also that the acquired knowledge does not age into obsolescence as quickly as a vendor-specific certification. Vendor-provided certifications have also been known to evangelize their technology to the point of bias. Vendor-neutrality disabuses the certification process from certain marketing encroachments. You can search on GoCertify for vendor-neutral certifications. Consider the various certifications from CompTIA, Brainbench, or Certification Partners.

An information technology professional should never merely constrain his or her certifications to main technology vendor that their employer or industry uses, but should complement vendor-specific certifications with ones that are vendor-neutral. Having both makes you a more flexible IT professional who is able to adapt to the changing market-place. With the recent and predicted growth of IT in many diverse industries, being more well-rounded is invaluable.
