The founder of WorkShares, (www.workshares.co.uk), producing collaborative solutions for our clients utilising Microsoft SharePoint and associated collaborative technologies. Over the last 12 years, I have gained 'grass roots' level experience in the design, build, delivery and support of Microsoft SharePoint based solutions to a wide range of business sectors, across medium to large enterprise organisations. I am an experienced SharePoint Project Manager/Consultant/BA, having also worked for a Tier 1 consultancy in London in the past and Microsoft Gold Partners both here and abroad with Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist (MCTS) for SharePoint accreditations. What differentiates me from others in this industry is the experience of working on in excess of 100 SharePoint deployments since the SharePoint platform was released in 2001. As a SharePoint veteran, I am able to bring to the decision making process experience of what works well and crucially, not so well with the product features you are considering deploying. Combined with consulting background this allows me to bring a mature approach to helping organisations identify and implement only the most beneficial features of the Microsoft SharePoint that deliver value for money and avoid the mistakes.
