SharePoint for MSPs and IT Providers

Usually both, with a clear boundary. Dedicated IT documentation tools handle things SharePoint doesn’t – password storage, asset relationships, automated discovery – so they stay the home for technical client documentation. SharePoint is the better fit for business documents: contracts, vendor agreements, internal policies, operations, and shared resources. SharePoint Maven helps you draw that line so the two systems complement each other instead of overlapping.

Yes. The business side of an IT practice – client contracts, vendor agreements, internal policies, runbooks, and operations documents — is a natural fit for structured SharePoint libraries organized by metadata rather than scattered folders. SharePoint Maven sets up the library structure, metadata, and views so the right people reach the right documents, and anything is findable by search instead of by memory.

Yes. SharePoint Maven Academy offers on-demand courses ($60 each, with volume licensing for teams of 5+) that cover SharePoint configuration, site administration, document management, metadata, and information architecture. Many MSPs take these courses internally before offering SharePoint implementation services to their client base.

Yes, all the time. Plenty of MSPs run capable Microsoft 365 practices but don’t have deep SharePoint expertise in-house — so SharePoint Maven steps in as the SharePoint specialist. Greg can work directly with your client or jointly with your team, whichever you prefer. Both models are common; email Greg with the client and engagement details.

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.
