Generic IT Certifications 58.
Disaster recovery is, to use a conscious oxymoron, a generic specialization.
Such specializations are similar to those in academic fields. The key tie, in this case, is Java. Microsoft, for example, waives its networking examination requirement for those who are already certified by Novell, Banyan, or Sun as network engineers, specialists, or administrators. In the new Certification Initiative for Enterprise Development, the Sun Certified Programmer for the Java Platform examination is recognized by all corporate participants. In a way, these developments suggest that IT certifications ultimately prove to be generic.
