SharePoint Core Training

Overview

This 2-day class provides a grounds-up understanding for applying and using the most commonly employed features and functionality of SharePoint. While SharePoint has well over 100 unique functions, organizational use generally focuses on about 30% of capability. This course will begin with the general use, operation, and building of sites in a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 environment. Students will then learn about site navigation, collaboration, content management, and data storage/retrieval through instructor-led modules that include both demonstrations and hands on exercises in a live SharePoint environment.  Students will be briefly introduced to site administration, and the management of lists, libraries, security and rights, views, and workflows. Functional concepts and best practices are interwoven into the material, providing a framework for the topics discussed. While the course is oriented to MOSS 2007 it is also applicable to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

This is no fairy tale but is a story that keeps repeating itself. Folks, it just isn’t worth it to hire someone to plan and install SharePoint for you if you are not going to check experience and credentials.  Why would you invest the substantial money in hardware, software, and business resources to launch SharePoint and not perform due diligence on the key event – the actual install, setup, and configuration of your system? It just doesn’t pass the “good sense” test.  Now I will readily admit that just because someone has passed the MCTS test for MOSS deployment doesn’t necessarily mean they are an expert. But at least they know the basics of setting up the system properly. Do yourself a favor, ask if the person you are about to hire for a MOSS deployment has an MCTS in MOSS and WSS. Ask further if they have an MCP in Windows Server installation and maintenance.

Lastly, ask if their company is a registered Microsoft Vendor Partner who has certified in SharePoint Deployment and Planning Services (SDPS).  Microsoft has invested a lot of time and effort in providing a qualified vendor base for its products and services through its training and certifications program – use these resources. I guarantee you that if you get a yes to all the previous qualifications questions; you can be assured that you will get a properly installed and configured SharePoint System.
