A Clean Inbox with Quick Steps and Search Folders

I recently challenged myself to change how I manage my inbox. Previously, I would leave messages in my inbox and rely on tools like Search to find what I was looking for. I believed this was a good way to go because: I didn’t have to fish through folders trying to find what I was …

Building the ideal SharePoint Team

It takes a village team to plan, manage, implement, teach and deliver SharePoint and we’ve been carefully crafting our team and sharing knowledge within it for years.  Matt made a pretty pie chart outlining the members of our team and the specific skills we all bring to the table.  Just wanted to take a moment …

itgroove’s Cloud Position Statement

I asked Uncle Rob to clearly articulate our Cloud Position Statement.  We felt it was important to clarify once again that while we are “Cloud Friendly and Office 365 Ready”, we don’t push the cloud (or warrant it for that matter – the SLA of Office 365 is direct with Microsoft).  There is no argument …

Yammer now included in Office 365 Kiosk Sku – Kind of a big deal

I think THIS is a big deal. Yammer is now included (effective today) in K (Kiosk) plans too.
