RE: The State of the CCIE Training Industry

GS isn't really that bad...until Darby comes back around with his baseless
rumors, vague accusations, inability to understand basic business and
general high school drama.

Just ignore. He'll go back to the internatweb he "saved". It will pass.

You guys are crazy if you think Brian Dennis has been "tucked away"
for the past 8 months working on CCNP material....their (INE) CCIE
material (like ours) is their "bread and butter" - and their products
aren't even fully updated yet (as ours aren't). I highly doubt they
would have someone with his talent NOT answering email, NOT posting on
his blog, NOT working on their CCIE products but instead - working on
a CCNP boot camp product...come on people - think logically.

Also, regarding us (IPexpert) - we have been moving forward, fullspeed
ahead. We've got a great jumpstart with all of our new hardware
implemented (for CCIE Security and Voice), we've been working on - and
releasing our Workbooks, VOD / Audio, Course Content, have already
released a 4.0 R&S product and more...we've invested in, and hired, an
experienced VP (former Intense School CEO) who has 20+ years in the
boot camp / IT industry - he took Intense to 11+ MM in sales from
startup. We've already completed CCNA, CCNA, CISSP, CEH, Forensics
and MCITP course content - and have the instructors on board to teach
the classes (new website to launch in 2 weeks). So, the rumors that
Cisco 360 is hurting us is absolutely absurd. In fact, we'll flourish
now that some of our competitors are now locked in to selling the same
360 material - and we can continue to design ours so it's more
thorough, can be taken to market quicker and more cost-effective (it
will always be more proven and cost-effective regardless of how Cisco
decides to sell it).

Gesh....this is one thing about the "awesome Groupstudy community" -
half of the posts are rumors and flat out BS...I guess now that MJ
died people need a new source of rumors! ;-)
