2014 is THE Biggest Year for SharePoint Business Strategy !

Here at Morgan & Wolfe we have been quiet for some time on the blog front as we have been literally inundated with requests for SharePoint business strategy from major organisations and have been getting our hands dirty! The shift away from a purely technical approach to SharePoint and a reinvigoration via business stakeholders continues in earnest and we expect this to remain so throughout 2014. We have more students than ever engaging and training as SALEM™ Practitioners as they transition from the tradition developer and architect roles into more strategic roles which is excellent for their careers and for the client community. Look out for more news soon and if you haven't commended your certification you are missing out !
