CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
SharePoint has become one of the most widely adopted enterprise platforms for collaboration, content management, and information governance. Organisations across sectors rely on SharePoint to support intranets, extranets, document and records management, enterprise search, workflow management, and business intelligence. When implemented effectively, SharePoint enables organisations to work more efficiently, securely, and in a well-structured manner.
The SharePoint Implementation Course is designed to provide professionals with a comprehensive understanding of how to plan, design, and implement SharePoint solutions using recognised best practices.
