As you know, Office 365 is an amazing offering by Microsoft and it has been growing leaps and bounds in the last year. Many small to large organizations around the world are taking advantage of this platform.<\/p>\n

However, there is a problem...\u00a0<\/strong>
\nAs awesome as Office 365 is, I see a lot of users struggling with making sense of it all. Not just end users, but also administrators in charge of setting up Office 365 services as well!<\/p>\n

Continue reading and I\u2019ll tell you about how our company, VisualSP, is planning to target that problem. If you don\u2019t want to read further, here\u2019s quick shortcut to the answer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Office 365 consists of many useful applications such as Mail, Tasks, SharePoint, Office Online, Planner, Yammer, OneDrive, Delve and so much more. They are all shifting and changing as time goes by and as Microsoft is adjusting to market demands and rolling out constant updates to it all. Things are starting to get complicated real fast as this offering is coming of age.<\/p>\n

So what do end users and administrators currently do when they are looking for answers?<\/p>\n

One of the following two things:<\/p>\n

1) Search for answers online and sift through results on Microsoft sites, MVP articles, Forums and YouTube videos
\nChallenge with No. 1<\/em>: There is too much information out there about certain things and it\u2019s easy to get lost or get the wrong answers. On the flip side, there is not much information about other things and you feel equally lost.<\/p>\n

2) \u00a0Click on the ?<\/strong> button at the top right of the screen. I don\u2019t see too many people having faith in this method anymore, but those that still do are presented with the following screen:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Office<\/p>\n

Challenge with No. 2<\/em>: Most users don\u2019t know what they should be looking for so this screen doesn\u2019t help them much. Even when you search for information here, the returned results are hard to make sense of.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a better way!<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m very excited to announce that our company, VisualSP, is coming close to releasing a new product which meets these challenges head on!<\/p>\n

Our new product, called VisualSP Training for Office 365<\/em>, will focus on the following:<\/p>\n
