SharePoint Spotlight details (Saturday 27th)

SharePoint is one of the fastest growing applications from Microsoft. It is available in a variety of versions and on a variety of platforms from Small Business Server all the way up to those hosted directly from Microsoft (via Office365).

The aim of this course is to provide you with the technical and business skills to confidently install, support and maintain just about any SharePoint installation. The course is aimed at technology professionals who have responsibility for SharePoint within their organizations or for their customers. It is also aimed at the technology reseller who is looking to sharpen their skills and grow their knowledge into a technology that allows them to differentiate themselves from their competition.

We will take you from the basics of understanding what is SharePoint, to installing, migrating and customizing, all the way through to developing automated solutions. You should attend this course if your SharePoint skills range from novice to intermediate.

Attendees will walk away with a comprehensive understanding about different SharePoint technologies and the platforms they run on. They'll also learn about the fundamental management of components like SQL and IIS that SharePoint relies heavily upon. Most importantly, attendees will walk away with the confidence to not only install and troubleshoot SharePoint but also develop real world solutions for business.

Some testimonials from previous events:

"The knowledge I gained at the bootcamp will help me make a more informed decision when I make recommendations to my clients. I recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants a balanced and fair approach as to the pro's and con's of the cloud and the issues it raises for the IT professional."

"After having spent a day on a Telstra Office365 a couple of months ago I felt it was OK information as it was on this new platform but what Robert has delivered today is REALISTIC and real world experience telling nothing but the truth. There is a big opportunity for all SMB IT providers even with the cloud, Office365 should be seen as an additional service to make money from."

"This workshop was absolutely brilliant It was real hands on from a reseller perspective rather than a sales perspective I highly recommend Robert Crane for any workshops / bootcamps after having done several other training sessions."
