GTconsult Recognized as Key Sponsor at South African SharePoint Saturday Events
GTconsult will once again organize and sponsor the annual SharePoint Saturday events to be held in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban, and will be showcasing their Umlindi managed service offering.
Cape Town, South Africa, September 2, 2014 (Newswire.com) - GTconsult, a Microsoft Gold partner in Content and Collaboration specializing in SharePoint, Office 365, Exchange, and Yammer deployments, consulting, and managed services, has announced that they are once again organizing and sponsoring the SharePoint Saturday events to be held in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, South Africa during the month of September. SharePoint Saturday (SPS) events are free, community-driven events taking place all over the globe, bringing Microsoft SharePoint experts, vendors, developers and end users together for a single day to learn about the platform and related technologies, and to network with other professionals.
As a primary driver of SPS events in South Africa for the past 3 years, GTconsult will once again be a leading sponsor at all three events, with principals Bradley Geldenhuys, Craig Tarr, and Warren Marks presenting various sessions. According to CEO Bradley Geldenhuys, who leads the Durban office, "SharePoint Saturday is an excellent opportunity for sponsors and attendees alike. As a sponsor, it is an opportunity to meet with partners and prospective customers, and keep a finger on the pulse of the community. For attendees, it’s a chance to receive free training and mentorship from some of the leading local and international SharePoint experts."
Dates of the upcoming South Africa events are as follows:
- Johannesburg 6th of September
- Cape Town 13th of September
- Durban 20th September
Attendees can find additional information about these events, and other happening around the globe, at www.spsevents.org
"Meeting with such a large group of experts and customers helps us to better understand where to extend our existing services," stated Craig Tarr, co-founder and director of the GTconsult Cape Town office, "giving us a clearer picture of the customer experience, and where we can add value. Much of what we learn through these events can be used to improve our solutions and services, such as our Umlindi monitoring and management offering."
Umlindi, which is a Zulu word that means "protector," provides a cloud-based, remotely-managed platform with proactive monitoring and a reactive warning system for client SharePoint environments. Umlindi is a Microsoft Azure-based offering, blending internally developed tools for reporting and real-time monitoring with a dedicated team of SharePoint experts. For customers, Umlindi greatly reduces the cost of managing and developing solutions for SharePoint, whether on premises or online as part of Office 365.
GTconsult will maintain a booth at each event, and will be showcasing the Umlindi offering and other consulting services.
