Ask Us Webinar 1–Highlights reel

We have posted the highlights reel of our first Ask Us webinar to Youtube and you can find it here:

Ask Use Webinar 1 – Highlights

In the video we cover some information on creating a SharePoint Online demo site as well as comparisons of SharePoint Online to Office 365. Unfortunately, it is limited to 10 minutes because our Cloud Business Blueprint YouTube account is yet to be verified. We’ll take care of that for our next Ask Us Webinar on the Thursday the 13th of February at 12.30pm. Cloud Business Blueprint members can view the complete highlight reel in the members forum (since we are using a different technology there with video).

You can sign up for the next Ask Us Webinar and actually any Ask Us Webinar at:

Remember, there is no cost for these webinars. Also, if you have a topic you like to see covered then by all means shoot me an email or leave a comment on this blog about the topic or question you have and we’ll do our best to answer it in the upcoming webinar.

We hope to see you there.

[VIDEO] Using a site template with a new site collection in SharePoint Online

I’ve just uploaded a new video to my YouTube channel that shows you how to take a site template from one site collection and use it as the base site in a completely new site collection. You’ll find the video at:

This is based off an earlier blog post I did on the same topic.

Now using this technique you can create and template a site (including the content if you wish) and use this as the first site in a completely different site collection with SharePoint Online.

Retro Internet Guide

I remember when the Internet was but a twinkle in Vince Cerf’s eye but looking at this retro videos of the Kids Guide to the Internet boy do I feel old.

If you remember dial up modems and Netscape then I’d advise you even to take a look at the first few minutes and reminisce about those dial up days and how far we have come (and how old we have gotten).

If you don’t remember all that stuff watch anyway as I’m sure you’ll find it highly amusing at what technology was like back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Office 365 Power BI

Here’s a nice video showing the features of Power BI (Business Intelligence) for Office 365.

In essence it allows you to easily report on large data sets. There are plenty of really good examples of this already like:

No matter how small a business they can benefit from improved data analysis. Great thing is most already have the tools like Excel and Office365.

What really impressed me in the first video is the natural language queries that were performed towards the end of the video. Honestly, take a look at that and tell me that isn’t firstly really cool and really handy, especially for those no-IT type business owners.

There is so much opportunity around BI in the market and so few resellers seeming to grab it. Even down at the SMB level, BI is huge so if you are wondering how to make money as a reseller in the cloud look at getting into BI for your clients. In simple terms, BI helps customer understand their business by allowing them to quickly analyse their data. You won’t regret it I’ll bet.

Using Feedly

My business partner, Nigel Moore, has just done a quick video on how to use Feedly.com to keep up to date with various content published via RSS. This of course includes our new Cloud Business Blueprint and this blog.

Both Nigel and I are big Feedly users because it simply works across so many difference devices. So if you haven’t see Feedly yet, take a look and of course sign up to the Cloud Business Blueprint feed for more updates on what we are doing.
