Testimonials to the benefits of SPTO Some of the typical complimentary comments we have received from our students:

“

SharePoint Training Online is great. Both the tutors and my fellow-students were all very helpful.

However, I would stress that students need to be open-minded to fully benefit from the SharePoint online experience

“

“

It was a splendid learning process through SharePoint certified tutors. The classes are delivered through a web-based enterprise portal - which I could access as and when it suited me. This meant I could adopt a flexible schedule which was very important to me. Already, my knowledge of using SharePoint has greatly improved...

“

My experience of SPTO has certainly helped prepare me for the ‘real world’. The layout and web part skills which I have learned will prove invaluable for all the facets of my job as a departmental administrator and as a web designer. The tutors have been excellent instructors and good communicators whom, while adopting a very professional manner, have always remained approachable and friendly.

SPTO has ensured that my newly-acquired understanding and application of Sharepoint has been easy and readily attainable. As I am somewhat intimidated by computer-based classes, I found it a relief to be able to choose when it was convenient for me to go online.

I was able to carry out the projects at my leisure and interact with other non-traditional students on a regular basis. Don’t get me wrong: with online classes you have to be dedicated, disciplined, taskorientated and hard-working. However, as long as you keep yourself on track, you can make your own decisions as to when to go online and when to work on your projects.

The business needs for SharePoint 2007 Microsoft Office SharePoint is a marvellously flexible tool for sharing documents, calendars and other data between users in different locations. It can be used, for example, to create internal websites known as ‘intranets’ - using a SharePoint server to store commonly requested documents for human resources, sales, marketing and other departments to be easily accessed by authorised internal users.

SharePoint assembles an array of supporting tools which are used effectively in a team environment document libraries, lists, alerts, RSS Feeds, wikis and blogs.

It allows you to: • Deploy intranet portal solutions which can be easily customised to serve your company, departments, and teams, and, your clients and partners • Improve document authoring, review, and publication practices

SharePoint is used within government agencies, schools, colleges, and universities, associations (nonprofit/profit), private organisations, engineering and oil and gas sectors. It can be used in many, many ways for companies of any size and in any industry.

High expectations for SharePoint 2010 It is a platform that due to its diverse range of uses can be used by different organisations in different ways. For example, a SharePoint user focusing on document and records management will need a completely different skills set to a user looking at server-administration or development.

Businesses have high expectations for the current SharePoint 2007 and the new SharePoint 2010 version, and are pushing forward with enterprisewide rollouts of it for collaboration and intranet - using this universal access to provide single signon portals into existing document and records repositories, thus opening them up for better knowledge sharing.

We offer you industry-specific on-line training designed to meet your needs as an end-user to expand your knowledge and improve your productivity – and enjoy a career-enhancing learning curve.

Its capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence.

• Improving team productivity - Using a site to store routine information for a single department or short-term information for a special project that spans several departments.

• Managing projects more efficiently - Using a site to manage projects and co-ordinate tasks and deadlines among team members - involving shared calendars, alerts, and notifications.

• Create, review, and publish documents Groups can create, review, and edit documents collaboratively on SharePoint. And you can use document libraries to store and manage important documents.

• Portals - You can use portal sites to work collaboratively and access the people, information, and business applications that you need to do your job.

Enterprise Content Management
