If you are looking for *Scrum Master Certification* I would highly recommend
Scrum Master ( http://www.scrumalliance.org ), training taught by Ken
Schwaber. From November 2009 you need to appear for an exam to get
certified.
With Regards,

o Providence-based RxVantage Raises $500,000 from Slater Technology Fund
Providence, R.I. -- The Slater Technology Fund, a state-backed venture
capital fund, announced on Monday that it has invested $500,000 in
RxVantage, a Providence-based developer of software that helps healthcare,
pharmaceutical companies and medical providers exchange information and
ideas that improve patient care. RxVantage recently launched version 2.0 of
its web-based communication and scheduling service, which allows medical
offices to efficiently coordinate educational interactions with product
experts from healthcare and pharmaceutical companies. "RxVantage has brought
a thoughtfully structured process to what had been a chaotic, occasionally
dysfunctional, relationship between physicians' offices and pharmaceutical
companies' representatives," said Thorne Sparkman, managing director of the
Slater Technology Fund. After testing the product in Rhode Island and
Southern Massachusetts and attaining a 90% + acceptance rate among medical
practices approached, RxVantage has begun expansion in New England and
selected additional large and mid-sized markets across the country.
