“SharePoint is a powerful platform that can support our organisation to be more productive.”
3grow is specialised in helping organisations leverage SharePoint to shift from the statements of intent to statements of success.
By properly understanding SharePoint, and what SharePoint means to your organisation, 3grow can work with you to identify, grow, and maintain the skills and capabilities your organisation needs to leverage the power of SharePoint.
The SharePoint Shift
For many years the focus of software solutions has been on the requirements, the features, and the development centred project that delivers the solution. With the emergence of Microsoft’s commoditised products and platforms such as SharePoint, Office, Dynamics CRM, Navision, this focus needs to shift to ensure that organisations achieve the best return on investment in Information Technology and reduce their total cost of ownership for delivering software solutions.
The new focus needs to be on empowering an organisation to leverage and extend the technology platforms and products that they have invested in.
As the demands and expectations from business users on Information Technology groups grow, and the demands and expectations from customers on businesses grow, organisations need to do more with less. This ultimately means making everyone more productive!
SharePoint Server, the Office suite, and the wider Microsoft ecosystem in which SharePoint and Office exist, require a shifting of focus and approach across Information Technology and Information Management within todays organisations. The traditional skills and capabilities focus within the Microsoft technology domain has been on software developers, and systems engineers (called IT Pros by Microsoft) and while these remain important they do not cover the breadth of skills now needed to ensure both the initial success and the on-going success of SharePoint Server. Organisations need skills and capabilities in SharePoint server administration, SharePoint site administration, information architecture, SharePoint composites, and end user adoption (usability, training, and support).
Through leveraging in house people and external SharePoint specialists organisations can have the right skills and capabilities available to leverage the SharePoint platform and ultimately make everyone more productive.
We are not just another ‘training’ company – our trainers are recognised practitioners with experience working within similar organisations such as yours to coach and mentor users to empower them with the right skills. We offer individually tailored training options to suit your needs rather than standard ‘course’ type training.
Our Team
We feel that it is important that all of the trainers and instructors can take their real-world experiences into the classroom, in order to ensure that they are well equipped to respond to any queries and questions which may be put their way, as well as give accurate and relevant guidance in the most appropriate methods to leverage the technology which SharePoint and its related tools provide.
Locations
3grow have regional offices in Wellington & Auckland, New Zealand and in Melbourne, Australia. As well as the ability to provide a mobile training room at your organisation’s site, we have additional training venues allowing us to offer our training services throughout the Asia Pacific region.
