But you don't see as much support for the SharePoint end users. Still, this group often needs help understanding how to best use SharePoint to support their work activities.
i-Squared is offering these business users a solution. Called SharePoint InSites, it is a support Portal, based on SharePoint, that you install in your SharePoint environment or access as a hosted service.
InSites provides a number of training materials to help you understand the uses for SharePoint, including:
- A series of "how-to" and "why" podcasts based on user roles and experience levels
- Common FAQs
- SharePoint jaron wiki
You can customize your implementation based on your SharePoint plan and you can brand the portal to your company.
Now i-Squared isn't the only company to offer SharePoint training for business users. Click2Learn also has an offering called Interactive SharePoint Training Kits for End Users, and AppDev currently has a special promotion on their SharePoint end user training.
Even Microsoft offers some SharePoint 2007 eLearning courses. Even better, they also offer a free end-user training solution that you can download and install in your environment, and also customize based on your needs.
The difference between Microsoft's free solution and i-Squared's may be the support provided to get the solution installed in your environment and up and running. The hosted option is also a strong point if your SharePoint environment isn't ready yet.
Get the details on i-Squared InSites and then make your training decision. InSites will be available in October.
