Overview SharePoint

Learn best practices for sharing and managing information on the SharePoint platform

The newly released SharePoint Certificate Program is designed from global best practices among AIIM's 65,000 associate and professional members.

AIIM has introduced a SharePoint Certificate Program based on identified best practices from its 65,000 strong community. Microsoft provides product and technical training on SharePoint, but a successful implementation requires a strategy and structure for how to share and manage information. The SharePoint Certificate Program covers global best practices for implementing SharePoint and complementary solutions.  Get the real story about what's possible with SharePoint 2007 and 2010, and learn about solutions that complement SharePoint.

The SharePoint Strategy onsite workshop is only available on request to organizations that need to brief executives or users about the expected benefits, steps and resources for implementing SharePoint.

The SharePoint Practitioner track covers concepts and technologies of SharePoint, and is available as an online or classroom training course leading to a Practitioner designation.
