SharePoint Connect event

2 weeks ago at the SharePoint Connect event in Amsterdam, where JCC Consultancy and Sharegate were sponsoring this event, owner and founder Jean-Claude Chan from JCC Consultancy met Alexandre Belanger from Sharegate. We both talked about our services and ambitions and noticed both organizations could work together in serving the Microsoft SMB partners if it comes to migrating SharePoint data to the Cloud such as Office 365 and helping them to hands-on execute their plans in terms of Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Competence management

Who is Sharegate?

Why Sharegate is the right partner for JCC Consultancy?

Jean-Claude Chan explains why Sharegate is the right partner for JCC Consultancy in the field of SharePoint migration tools: ” As my organization JCC Consultancy is an unique niche-player with a 100% on only Microsoft Non/ Self-managed SMB partners, we are specialized in advicing, helping and coaching these SMB partners to hands-on execute their plans regarding Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Competence mangement.”

Microsoft SMB partners are hiring JCC Consultancy to help them to drive more revenue and profit regarding Cloud solutions and we have noticed that many Microsoft Non/Self-managed and even Managed SMB partners who have Collaboration & Content competence (SharePoint) and or Cloud competence (Office 365, Azure)  have difficulties to find the best and affordable SharePoint Online and On-premise migration & management tool/solutions for themselves to use internally or for their SMB, Corporate or Enterprise customers when working on a small or large SharePoint or Collaboration project.

As we have established a strategic alliance with Licensing specialist Actendo for the SMB Non Managed/Self-managed Partners last November, we know that we have found the right partner in Sharegate to fill the gap and to fullfill the need from our Microsoft Non/Self-managed SMB partners to find the best and affordable SharePoint Online/ On-premise migration tool you can use in small and large SharePoint migration project.

Besides, JCC Consultancy has the ambition to enter the Microsoft Canadian SMB market to serve and help out the Microsoft Canadian Non/Self-managed SMB partners if they have difficulties in hands-on executing their plans regarding Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Competence management. That is why I had a meeting with Microsoft Canada earlier in October this year to talk about the Non/Self-managed SMB Partner market. Go here to read about the superhero SMB story JCC Consultancy wrote for Microsoft Canada.

With the partnership with Microsoft Canadian Gold partner Sharegate, I am convinced that this will help JCC Consultancy to get more exposure in Canada and that eventually both organization can provide the Microsoft Canadian Non/Self-managed/ SMB partners a full range of services of Strategy, Sales, Marketing, Competence management and SharePoint/ Cloud Migration tooling/solutions advice.”

Hi everyone,

This afternoon the Executive roundtable for owners/founders from Microsoft SMB/Cloud partners took place and it was a success. The roundtable was fully packed with attendees and we had to decline new attendees.

Microsoft Non managed SMB Partner Connected Services hired JCC Consultancy, an unique nicheplayer in the Microsoft Non managed SMB partners worldwide, to help them to drive partner channel development and organized a special Executive roundtable for owners/ founders from Microsoft SMB and Cloud partners at Microsoft Netherlands HQ at Schiphol.

A market survey among Microsoft SMB partners has shown that a lot of Microsoft SMB (managed or non managed) and Cloud partners has difficulty to realize more revenue with selling Office 365.

Based on this survey, Connected Services  has decided to organize a special roundtable together with Microsoft Netherlands for ICT SMB companies.

The session was kicked off by Lisandro Antersyn from Microsoft Netherlands

Maarten Visser, founder and owner from  Connected Services presented during this interactive session how you can generate more revenue and profit with Office 365.

Different business models were highlighted in this  very interactive session and during this session we heard from the attendees which business challenges they were facing with when selling Office 365 and Azure.

Have a good one.

March 3rd 2014, Dan Holme SharePoint Conference Las Vegas

• 15.45 -17.00 : Dan Holme: The Cloud: Navigating the benefits and challenges of this disruptive innovation

This session is a Must visit for Business Decision Makers, because Dan is not only has a strong technical background and years of experiences, but he has also lots of projects which he has executed on C-level. Ofcourse I will be sharing live updates during this session via my blogsite www.jcccloud.com and website www.jccconsultancy.com

‘The cloud.’ Obviously, a significant consideration for every executive, business leader, decision maker and platform owner. As soon as the words are mentioned, there are aspirational visions of the potential for the cloud, concerns ranging from security to data sovereignty to manageability, and there is a raucous hype of promises, fears, uncertainty, and doubt. How can you align the dynamic nature of the cloud with your strategic objectives? How can you drive your business to optimize value and risk? What are the concerns of your peers and what have they done to address those concerns?  In this unique session, we will share a thoughtful, business-centric strategic approach to reimagining service delivery in this brave new hybrid world. You’ll explore the challenges and benefits of the cloud from a SharePoint perspective, but the prescriptive guidance you take away will help you manage on-premise and cloud services of any kind.

For live update follow me on @jeanclaudechan.

I will share with you the most important slides which I think is very interesting. If you want more information or the whole presentation let me know.

JCC CONSULTANCY GOES SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas

90% of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners will not attend the SPC 2014 conference

Last December and January 2014, JCC Consultancy has conducted a survey among 500 Executives/Owners of Microsoft Unmanged SMB Partners in the Netherlands and one of the questions imposed was:

Are you going to attend the SPC 2014 Conference?  

90% answered: ” No, i will not attend the SPC 2014 Conference, but I do want to be updated with the latest developments and updates during the SPC conference”.

The result was an eye opener for us, but also a very interesting opportunity for JCC Consultancy,  because this figure shows that most of the attendees at the SharePoint Conference are mostly Microsoft Managed Partners and  not Unmanaged SMB Partners.

Special platform for Business Decision Makers and owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners worldwide

So JCC Consultancy decided to launch a special platform/site (you can call it a interactive live Blogsite) called JCC Cloud , which is only focused on providing information in terms of Strategy, Sales, SharePoint, Office 365, Windows Azure, Cloud to solely Business Decision Makers or owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partner worldwide.

What can you expect from JCC Consultancy during the SPC 2014 event?

After JCC Consultancy conducted the survey and presented the figures, we were approached by Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners and they wanted to hire JCC Consultancy to collect relevant information in terms of Executive and Strategy at the SPC 2014 in Vegas.

Real live information on Strategic and Executive level
