Happy New Year

Our Dean of Computer Information Systems passed this information along to me – and thus, I’m passing it to you! I hope you find this helpful for a step towards your career goals in Computer Information Systems.

CompTIA is looking for digital information management professionals to participate in a beta exam of our revised CDIA+ (Certified Digital Information Architect) certification. Those who pass the exam will become CDIA+ certified at the time the final exam launches in 2013.
The target participant is a records management and/or digital information solutions provider with 24 months of experience in business and workflow analysis, integration of content imaging systems with business applications, project management, and knowledge and design of secure scanning technology infrastructure and capture solutions.
Companies currently hiring CDIA+ certified:
Ricoh, Toshiba America Business Solutions, Canon, Hyland Software

Current jobs specifying CDIA+ certification:
Document Imaging Workflow Architect, Managed Services Sales Specialist, Systems Analyst or Engineer

Beta exam available now
Where: Pearson VUE testing centers
Cost: Free with promo code CDIAENG (Promo code for Japan is CDIAJP)
The exam will be available to only the first 400 people to take it (not just register, but take it). When 400 people have taken the beta exam, it will be turned off and no longer available. In order for CompTIA to get useful beta statistics, it is important that those who take the exam are at the experience level that we’re targeting. If you consider yourself qualified based on the description above, and if you have coleagues who are, we urge you to participate in this CDIA+ beta exam event.

In order to register for the beta exam, you must have an account at VUE. Instructions for setting up a test taker account are here: http://www.pearsonvue.com/reg_guide/capva.
Please Note: Study materials for the new version of the CDIA+ exam will not be available until the live exam launches in 2013.
***Results from the exam will not be available until the live exam launches, midyear 2013. Your results will be sent to you directly at that time, no exceptions.***
If you fit the profile of the target candidate for this we do hope you will consider participating in the beta event.
