Documentation, presentations, SharePoint Guide and more are here for free download.

Docs.com – http://docs.com/ciaops

Docs.com is slated to be retired in December 2017 but as of today it is up. It will therefore, more than likely disappear totally in 2018 so go and grab anything you want while it is still available.

Slideshare – https://www.slideshare.net/directorcia

This is the recommended replacement for Docs.com and is the place that I am now uploading my presentations and whitepapers for free download. At this point in time it doesn’t contain everything that I had on Docs.com simply because it would take me too long to get everything up there. I’ll continue to add new stuff and stuff that is requested. Hopefully, I’ll also get the time to upload the stuff from Docs.com there.

Documentation for SharePoint on premises, especially the free versions and those that came with SBS. Note that all of these reside on Docs.com which is technically being retired so they may not be available for long.

New Microsoft 365 courses from CIAOPS

Just in time for Christmas, I have released two new online courses focused on Microsoft 365 Business:

Introduction to Microsoft 365 Business

and

Getting Started with Microsoft 365 Business

The Introduction course is aimed at giving you an overview of the Microsoft 365 product and how the Business plan fits inside. The Getting Started course is more a step by step guide taking you through what you can actually do with the Business plan.

Both of these new courses can be found at the CIAOPS Academy where you’ll also find extensive online courses for Office 365 and Azure. You can purchase the courses individually or in annual bundle that includes every course now and for the next twelve months.

I have more courses focused in Microsoft 365 (including some focused on the Enterprise plan) coming very soon.
