Don’t forget that I’m aiming to build lots more value into my patron program going forward so if you are looking for the best information around Azure and Office 365 as well as being part of a community of progressive IT Pros looking to grow and share their knowledge of the Microsoft cloud, then now is the time to sign up to get the best deal.

Here is what other community members say about the value that being a CIAOPS Patron has provided their business

“Robert is a huge credit to the SMB support community, his knowledge of the Office 365 and Azure space is unsurpassed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robert’s blog, podcast, training resources and his Patreon funded tech community.” – Nick Lloyd, Active Business Communications UK

“Staying abreast of the rapid changes in the IT industry in today’s world can be a daunting and timely exercise. Since using the resources of Robert Crane from CIAOPS we have been able to better filter out the unnecessary noise of public information and better manage our time required to keep our fingers on the pulse. Robert’s informative knowledge base and CIAOPS Academy is a MUST HAVE resource for anyone seeking to better understand the changes required today to stay on top of the IT industry.” – Craig Young, Green Data IT

“I recommend Robert Crane for the wealth of experience he brings with Office 365 and Azure, with this experience he provides a vast amount of resources for sharing and learning at various levels.” – Robert Coleiro, Computer Help Sydney

I hope that you’ll join us.
