      <description><![CDATA[<div class=ExternalClassDF10E9CE1E3F49E8B1A764D6FD58BB23><div><font size=3>We provide Remote Consulting and Remote Collaborative Training for SharePoint!<br></font>One of the great benefits of the Internet is that we can leverage it to provide you with Remote SharePoint Consulting and Remote SharePoint Collaborative Training!  Using web-based technologies we can deliver a consultant or a trainer directly to your desktop.  This makes it very practical to engage a skilled consultant for those pesky small projects as well as the bigger ones.  At the same time, you can engage an experienced trainer to help you sharpen skills in a specific area or to help you scale-out your overall SharePoint knowledge.  And, best of all, all you need is an Internet connection and a browser as we provide the necessary tools to interact with you and your desktop in real time.  With our Remote service there is no need to spend hours in a classroom or go without a consultant when you really need one.</div>
<div><br>Our service can help you with invaluable guidance on SharePoint strategies, best practices, and third-party products.  We can help you with your configuration and build-out and we can help you polish your knowledge of SharePoint.  Most importantly, we can help you with <strong>no-code SharePoint solutions </strong>using tips and tricks we have learned over the years as well as third-party solutions that make SharePoint shine.</div>

<div class=ExternalClass4F1C0676E4BD4163983E10FD3133343D>I have a real problem with the term <em>'SharePoint Expert'</em>, as I believe it to be a term nobody really should use to refer to themselves. The product is too broad, too far reaching and important, for anyone person to know it all.  So instead, I like to refer myself as a '<strong><em>SharePoint Specialist</em></strong>' or if I'm looking for a laugh (or pity), as a '<strong><em><a href="http://www.sharepointjedi.com/">SharePoint Jedi</a></em></strong>' - i.e. I am knowledgeable of the 'living force that is SharePoint, but I'm constantly learning (and yearning) for more.</div>
