SharePoint Consulting by Industry

No. SharePoint Maven works across more than a dozen industries, from legal and finance to nonprofits and government. The core SharePoint and Microsoft 365 building blocks – intranets, document libraries, permissions, and Copilot governance – are the same everywhere. What changes from one industry to the next is the terminology, the compliance pressures, and the governance priorities, and Greg adapts each engagement to fit.

No. The patterns that make SharePoint work – clean information architecture, sensible metadata, disciplined permissions — are industry-agnostic. What matters more is a consultant who listens to your industry’s specific constraints, such as HIPAA in healthcare or retention rules in legal and finance, and configures around them. SharePoint Maven does that on every project, using only out-of-the-box features.

Every engagement starts with a scoping call to learn your terminology, your compliance requirements, and how your team actually works. The intranet structure, document libraries, naming conventions, and governance rules are then built to match – not dropped in from a generic template. The result fits your industry using only out-of-the-box SharePoint and Microsoft 365.

Greg has done the most work in document-heavy professional services – legal, finance, engineering, and nonprofits among them – along with education, government, healthcare, real estate, retail, project management offices, IT providers, and software firms. The sections above show how the approach applies to each, and the same methods carry over to industries not listed.

Almost certainly. The industries above are where Greg has spent the most time, not a limit on who he works with. If your organization runs on SharePoint and Microsoft 365, the same out-of-the-box approach applies. Describe what your team does and where it’s getting stuck, and Greg will tell you honestly whether he’s the right fit.

SharePoint Maven uses the same fixed-fee pricing across every industry. Hourly consulting is $350/hour with no minimum. SharePoint intranets are $4,800-$6,400, fixed-fee. Document management projects are $2,400-$4,200, fixed-fee. Live training is $950 per 2-hour session with unlimited attendees. Pricing is flat and published – no proposal negotiation cycle.

Intranet projects typically run 5–8 weeks from kickoff to delivered training. Document management projects run 3–4 weeks. Hourly consulting can start within one week of purchase. Timelines are agreed up front and don’t slip – fixed-fee means no mid-project change orders or scope additions.

Greg Zelfond does every engagement personally. There are no subcontractors, junior consultants, or offshore teams. You work directly with Greg from the first call through delivery and training. Because of that, SharePoint Maven runs roughly one engagement at a time – reach out a few weeks before your preferred start window to confirm availability.

Yes – that’s a primary design goal. Every project is built using out-of-the-box SharePoint features, with no custom code and no third-party tools, so your IT staff or site administrator can manage and extend the environment using the same admin tools that Microsoft documents publicly. Every project includes both admin training and site owner training.

Yes. Live training sessions ($950 per 2-hour session, unlimited attendees) can be booked as part of a rollout to train staff or administrators. On-demand SharePoint Maven Academy courses ($60 each, with volume licensing for teams) work well for ongoing onboarding as new people join. Both options are taught by Greg personally.
