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.

Ask us weekly webinar


I am happy to announce that we have scheduled our first Cloud Business BlueprintAsk Us” webinar for Thursday the 6th of February at 12.30pm Sydney Australia time. This is a follow up from the CIAOPS Virtual Meetings that I ran last year. You can register at:

Schedule willing, we plan to offer this webinar on a regular weekly basis, so you’ll be able to use that same URL to register for each weekly event. These may be not the same day every week but certainly we are aiming to run it regularly.
So what’s the “Ask Us” webinar all about? Well, it’s designed to allow you to ask any question you want about the cloud, business or technical it doesn’t matter. I am also happy to take questions in regards to SharePoint as well. There is no set agenda, just turn up at any time during the webinar and ask any question you want and we’ll do our best to answer it. If we can’t answer it during the webinar we’ll aim to get you the answer afterwards. We can also demonstrate anything specific on the screen.
Again, there is no obligation and the webinar is free for anyone to attend. We encourage you to attend to get all those burning cloud questions answered or just attend to see what others are asking.
Of course if you can’t attend this session look out for upcoming webinars at the same URL.
