Microsoft Learning have a number of great courses covering implementing SharePoint solutions. If you or your team require some extra training in this area, go check these out!

Ok, so I have been working with several clients who are ‘interested’ in Office 365, particularly from a SharePoint perspective. During demonstrations of the platform with them, and through my own use I’ve come across several issues. So I’ve of course raised tickets with MS support and submitted discussion threads to cover, and the helpdesk are very fast to respond. However, some of the issues I am mentioning in this blog I would consider serious; and most relate to the SharePoint public facing site collection.
I’ve decided to list them here as I come across them. Please note, there have been some indicated third party fixes for some of these, however, I have not put them in unless anyone can confirm they work 100% of the time!
If you have anymore, please feel free to comment on them. Please note I am not representing Microsoft here, but, at least I can use this as an avenue to pass likewise issues directly to them concerning SharePoint Office365…. More blogs to follow!

SharePoint governance is not a hardware, software, or people resource solution. It is an organizational strategy and methodology for documenting and implementing business rules and controls related to your client’s data. It brings cross-functional teams together to identify data issues impacting the company or organization.
As we move into the land of Office365 and SharePoint in the cloud, time to look at the key areas of Administration available to site collections. It’s very important for existing SharePoint Administrators working in SharePoint 2010 in server land to understand these areas. Working on SharePoint 2010 in the cloud presents not different, but new possibilities and management potentials.
