See you next month.
I’m happy to announce the release of my latest course – “How to Demonstrate Office 365” which you can find here:
http://www.ciaopsacademy.com/p/how-to-demonstrate-office-365/
The course contains over 15 video lessons, including downloadable material and course notes. Importantly, it gives you a framework you can use to effectively show people what Office 365 is about. It is not designed to give them a deep dive, it is designed to give them a taste of what Office 365 can do for their business in a structured and engaging manner.
I created the course because I saw so many people struggling to annunciate what Office 365 is and how it can be used to solve business pain points. The course gives you a method you can follow to present effectively every time. It show you how to prepare and target your material and what to actually show. If you are a reseller of Office 365 this is going to improve your conversions, and that means more opportunity for you.
The secret of success is to use a system, and that is what I have created for you in this course. I have also included the option for a one on one coaching session where you can show me how you present Office 365 and I’ll provide you feedback and tips on how to improve further. All of this included for the low cost of US$99.
Sign up today and start presenting Office 365 better.
Here is the presentation deck that I use when talking to people about Azure. It is designed to provide a simple overview and includes plenty of additional resources.

I am please to announce that I have created a new free lecture series at the CIAOPS Academy which you can find here:
This is a free series of short topics that I have recorded at my face to face events. Topics include both business and technology and are mainly aimed at an IT Professionals audience. There is information in there to help you grow your cloud business as well as understand technologies like Office 365.
I’ll continue to add to this series over time as I do more events so enrol for free and ensure you check back regularly for the latest content.
I’ll shortly be once again out and about doing presentations on Azure and Office 365 for Ingram Micro. This time we’re going to places that we haven’t been before. I look forward to meeting a sea of new faces at these upcoming events. Here are the details of the upcoming roadshow:
Join us for our Cloud Elevate Bootcamp with Robert Crane, Microsoft MVP for a full day of learning around Office 365 and Azure. You’ll come away with not only technical answers but business solutions you can implement and sell to customers.
We have divided the day into two major sessions to maximise your learning:
Why Office 365 and Azure?
This session will take a technical deep dive into both Office 365 and Azure. You’ll learn about the services that constitute both products, you’ll learn how they are licenses and deployed as well as how to migrate from existing on premises environments include Small Business Server (SBS).
The session will be interactive with whiteboard tutorials and answers to your specific questions. By the end of this session you’ll have a much greater understanding about what Office 365 and Azure are and how they can be implemented within businesses.
How to sell Office 365 and Azure?
Azure and Office 365 represent a seismic shift in the way that IT providers need to think about delivering services to customers, but where do you start? This session will give you the knowledge and the tools that will allow you to take advantage of the opportunities that both Office 365 and Azure provide.
This session again is designed to be interactive with lots of practical business examples, whiteboard discussions and examination of real world SMB scenarios.
No matter what stage of your cloud journey you are current at, as an IT professional you’ll get value from attending both of these sessions.
You’ll get the chance to hear the latest product news, have your specific questions answered and learn about the opportunities that are now available to you in the Microsoft Cloud.
A day not to be missed.
