Our Philosophy

Technology Transfer is an Italian company created in 1986 that operates in the field of advanced training of ICT professionals.

The motto of the company has been and remains “Invest in Know-how” and with its training proposals it has contributed to the IT cultural growth of the Italian and European computer community.

We believed from the very beginning that, if we wanted to become an international point of reference in spreading IT know-how, we had to reach some fundamental goals:

  • cooperation with world-class experts
  • the correct identification of strategic issues
  • total independence from vendors

Focus on Strategic Issues​

In the last 33 years we have always tried to identify and investigate strategic issues for IT.

We were the first in Italy and in Europe to:

  • deal with the problem of relational databases as production tools in 1986 with Dr. Codd and Chris Date
  • address Object-Oriented issues with James Odell in 1990 and then with Ed Yourdon, Ivar Jacobson and Martin Fowler
  • talk about Data Warehouse with Bill Inmon in 1992
  • believe in Function Point Analysis (1992), Software Reusability and Enterprise Web Technology
  • and so it was for the Client / Server, Business Process Re-engineering, Rapid Prototyping, Web, Agile, Security, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Architecture, Data Management, Big Data, Cloud Computing, User Experience, Artificial Intelligence and many other important issues.

Cooperation with Information Technology world-class gurus

After identifying the topics to be discussed, we have always sought the maximum know-how on the international market to be able to deal with them. Our motto has always been: “Go to the source”, and this research has brought us together over the years with key figures in the history of Information Technology.
