SharePoint Consulting & Training Services

If you have a specific question or problem, start with hourly consulting. If you’re building an intranet or fixing document storage, those are fixed-fee projects. If you’re preparing for Copilot, start with a governance audit. If you need to train people, choose live training for groups or the Academy for self-paced learning. Not sure? The free 30-minute intro call sorts it out.

Hourly consulting ($350/hour) is for focused, open-ended help – questions, troubleshooting, second opinions – with no minimum and no scope. Fixed-fee projects (intranets, document management) have a defined deliverable, timeline, and price agreed up front. Choose hourly when you need answers; choose fixed-fee when you need something built.

Yes – that’s exactly what hourly consulting is for. There’s no minimum, no retainer, and unused hours never expire. Book a single hour for a one-off question, or a couple of hours for something more involved. Many clients use hourly help once and return only when a new question comes up.

Yes. Every potential engagement starts with a free 30-minute intro call to confirm what you need and which service fits. There’s no charge and no obligation. Paid work – hourly consulting or a fixed-fee project – only begins once you’ve decided to move forward.

Hourly consulting is typically scheduled within one week of purchase. Fixed-fee projects begin after the intro call and a written proposal – most start within 2–3 weeks of first contact. Greg responds to inbound inquiries within 24 hours on business days.

Yes, and many clients do. A common path is an intranet or document management project followed by live training for the team, then occasional hourly consulting afterward. A Copilot governance audit often pairs with a document management project. Each service is priced independently, so you only pay for what you use.

Yes. Every SharePoint Maven service – consulting, intranet, document management, governance, and training – uses only native SharePoint and Microsoft 365 features. No custom code, no SharePoint Framework development, no third-party add-ons or licenses. This keeps solutions maintainable by your own team and avoids ongoing dependency.

All services are delivered remotely by web meeting – no travel, no on-site fees, no scheduling friction across time zones. This is how SharePoint Maven serves clients across six continents. Screen sharing and live configuration in your tenant make remote delivery as effective as being in the room.

No. SharePoint Maven specializes exclusively in out-of-the-box configuration. Greg believes custom development inflates budgets and creates solutions clients can’t maintain on their own. For custom development requests, he refers to trusted SharePoint colleagues elsewhere in the community.

Your team takes over – that’s the design goal. Because everything is out-of-the-box, your business users can manage content, pages, and permissions without a developer. There’s no required retainer. Many clients return for occasional hourly consulting or refresher training as their teams grow or Microsoft ships new features.
