SharePoint: On Premises and in the Cloud
August 9, 2011
We learned some exciting news in the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog. On July 26, 2011, Microsoft unveiled a new video learning series in “SharePoint Online Learning Materials for IT Professionals.” The focus of the information is particularly useful because the information embraces both on premises SharePoint installations and cloud deployments.
Microsoft offers a comprehensive video learning series on these subjects:
- An introduction to the five part series
- A review of the most common scenarios for on premises and cloud implementations
- A discussion of user considerations in a dual deployment set up
- A summary of the support options available to developers and licensees
- A conclusion which hits some of the highlights of previous four videos.
Microsoft has also include a narrated presentation, “Exploring SharePoint Online for IT Professionals,” which is ideal for getting up to speed when waiting for a meeting to begin or standing online at the airport.
To cap the information, Microsoft has made available a new white paper, “Microsoft SharePoint Online: An Overview for Enterprise IT Professionals.” The document is 16 pages long and covers development considerations, online administration, tips for managing sites and users, how to information about user identifies, and an excellent discussion of security for groups. The white paper also includes a group of links to relevant information, including Office 365 information.
The new administrative console is the starting point for managing sites and pages.

ACIS Shoulders into the SharePoint Search Market
August 8, 2011
According to the PRWeb article “ACIS Extends Enterprise Search Services into the Cloud — Opportunities for Cutting Costs While Increasing Quality of Search,” ACIS (ACIS Consulting Inc.) recently announced the introduction of its Cloud-based Enterprise Search Service (EsaaS). ACIS asserts that it is “one of the most experienced Microsoft Fast Enterprise Search technology developers and systems integrators.)
The new EsaaS system, according to our source:
…is a complete solution plus services package that includes a cloud-based IT infrastructure, a highly advanced enterprise search platform, professional consulting and management services that tie it all together.
Clients can look forward to reduced costs as well as a noticeable improvement in search experience which in turn improves overall their customer satisfaction. As more and more enterprises realize the importance of the cloud, ACIS believes that the cloud working side by side with their technology can better meet the needs of customers. Efrem Habteselassie, principal at ACIS Consulting made the following statement:
This is why we are launching this ESaaS service offering – to combine the benefits associated with cloud computing with our world-class experts to offer the first complete Enterprise Search as a Service package.
Seems like the beginning of a beautiful and lucrative relationship. The challenge, of course, will be differentiating the ACIS solution from Microsoft’s own solutions, industrial strength solution providers like Exalead, and the dozens of Certified Gold firms offering similar services. ACIS does have some interesting acronyms.
