If you have been following our site or newsletters, you know that our commitment is to train, empower and support SharePoint users at all levels. I would like to focus on exactly how our corporate offerings help accomplish that goal.
Our SharePoint Content
- 100 SharePoint 2007 video tutorials
- 250 SharePoint 2010 video tutorials (growing at a rate of about 4 to 6 additional tutorials every month)
Video tutorial average length: 10 minutes (with the exception of end user videos)
Type of content: Tutorials discussing the ‘why and how’ to accomplish various tasks and functionalities related to SharePoint (using minimal or no PowerPoint slides)
Target audience:
- End Users
- Power Users
- Developers
- Administrators
Content categories:
SharePoint Fundamentals, SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, Workflows, Branding, Business Connectivity Services, Access Services, Project Management, Reporting Services, Records Management and more in the works…
Direct competition covering the breadth of content we offer: None that we are aware of!
Corporate Licensing of Videos
To facilitate training and supporting all SharePoint users, we offer two options:
Option 1) Deploy our end user videos in your environment
It is best for end users of SharePoint to get the help they need directly within the SharePoint environment they are working in without the need to hunt for the information on the web. In addition, there are many ‘bad practices’ that you want to steer your users away from and teach them the ‘best practices’ for interacting with SharePoint (working with documents, pages, list items, subsite settings etc).
To support you with your end users’ training needs, we ship you 105 end user videos that offer on-demand help to SharePoint end users. These are short, to the point, tutorials of 2 minutes or less with full voice narration and visual cues to help the user understand why you do certain tasks in SharePoint and how to do them.
Option 2) Online access at SharePoint-Videos.com for all SharePoint Administrators and Developers
Our list of videos targeting SharePoint administrators, developers and power users has been and will continue to grow on the site. The best way for us to provide you access to all of that information is to setup a corporate log-in id for your organization that your SharePoint personnel can use at anytime to view the tutorials on the site.
Depending on your need, either option 1 or 2 or even a combination of both options would serve your organization best! I am a big believer in the phrase ‘seeing is believing’. If you are like me and would like to visualize how the process would work, check out these short 3 minutes videos on SharePoint End User and SharePoint Admin and Developer training.
We have been serving our corporate clients for many years now. Read our testimonials and check out the list of some of the companies we currently serve.
So what’s the next step?
Get in contact with us through either simply replying to this email, filling out the form on our corporate licensing page or by calling us directly (630) 786-7026. Whatever works best for You. We can help to qualify if your organization is the right fit for the solutions that we offer. Let us know how we can help your SharePoint needs!

SharePoint is not a typical Microsoft product. Do you agree? What I mean to say is that it’s not like Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. which you can learn by trial and error (quite the contrary: there could be severe penalties you will pay for errors or not following best practices when working with or building solutions on SharePoint). In fact, it’s not a product at all – it’s a platform, like Windows, on which you can build the solutions and applications You need!
One major advantage of SharePoint: You can build almost anything you want to build without using programming since we now have tools and built in services such as SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, Access Services, Reporting Services, Term Store, automating processes using SharePoint Designer Workflows, Branding sites and much much more.
Our main goal has been and continues to be to support SharePoint end users, designers, developers, administrators and also SharePoint consultants worldwide through the following services we offer:
We are hoping to enhance our services even further this year by committing to the following:
- Adding Lots of new videos to the site (current video count is 348) – plans are to still keep releasing at least a couple of new videos every other week
- Enhancing the site functionality with better filtering and sorting of videos as our collection grows
- Hiring new personnel to support our site subscribers and visitors
- Adding additional benefits for being a subscriber to SharePoint-Videos.com
- Continue to provide no-cost webinars that will enhance your knowledge of areas within SharePoint
Want to chat about how we can help you? Send me an email directly and we can chat through email or phone to see how/if we can help you. If not, I’ll refer you to another company or provider who can help.
Looking forward to year 2012! Best wishes to you in all your endeavors!
