Maybe you recently rolled out Office 365. Or maybe you rolled it out a little while ago. Either way, if you feel like your team is not really using it to its full potential, then you are not alone.

Using Office 365, I mean really using it to its full potential, is more than just technical. There is also a good deal of cultural change and process change required for moving to the cloud.

I was speaking with a client recently. She had reached out to me for training on OneDrive for Business. I've worked with this woman for years and she was very excited that her business had moved to the cloud. She looked forward to leveraging Office 365 and all the awesome collaboration features.

Microsoft estimates that 5 - 10% of users are using more complex features of Excel to create business insights.

I recently spoke with an HR person at a mid-sized company, and an IT leader at a smaller non-profit organization. Both conversations were about Office 365 training for their employees.

Got a small project or a team goal where Microsoft Project seems like overkill? Or maybe some of your team members don't have (or aren't comfortable with) MS Project.

An updated version of this blog post discussing Office 365 Licensing in 2020 has been posted here.

You can’t go a week without hearing about a well-known business making the move to Office 365. Microsoft highlights many migrations on their Microsoft Office Blog. While many enterprise size clients have a direct line to licensing questions with Microsoft, the small to mid-size businesses are often times working with a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or even trying to figure out costs on their own.  This post continues to help many SME's from overspending on Office 365 Liceneses. 

Based on our extremely popular webinar on 10 Microsoft Aha Features You Need to Know, KnowledgeWave is excited to provide an online class where you can really master these top Excel tips. You’ll be able to watch, interact and apply these tips with the guidance of our expert certified instructor.

Every month, we see more organizations adopting Microsoft Office 365 and migrating their employees “to the cloud.” One thing we can confidently say from experience: successful Office 365 training focuses on user adoption and helps employees understand the benefits of working in the new ways. (See also my previous post on 4 Steps to Take Directly After Your Office 365 Migration.)

I wear several different hats. Heck, one is even writing for this blog.

In a job role where I’d have little time for a traditional full-day training class, I still run into real world challenges and like many, I have become accustomed to wanting a solution to a specific problem.

As a trusted partner, your MSP team leverages technology in such a way that it creates a long term competitive advantage for each customer.

As an MSP, software training can be an important tool in your land-and-expand tool belt. Sometimes it can be a great chance to land, offering a foot in the door when there is a clear training need. And sometimes it's just the right expansion opportunity to upsell to your current customers.

KnowledgeWave will be hosting a live session for Managing VMware vSphere 6. In this 2-day instructor-led course we focus on managing VMware vSphere® 6.

You might be wondering what classes and videos are available in a cohesive online training package. And you probably don’t want to blow your budget sending one person to class. It would be great if that money could go toward providing training opportunities for everybody on the team.
