University of Canterbury, Christchurch

April 2014 – Current

Employed by the Univerity of Canterbury to provide SharePoint consultancy and administration​.

SharePoint Administration Strategy

My approach to the administration and maintenance of UC’s environment consisted of:

• developing a plan to maintain the SharePoint server Farm ensure appropriate availability and performance of the Farm.
• engaged vendors to support the server environment when needed
• training and mentoring the Information Records Management Team (IRM)  to create and manage SharePoint sites
• training business unit representatives to give them the skills and confidence to administer and maintain their sites independent of myself and IRM.
• I supported Site admins and provided resources (directly and through vendors) where more technical improvements were needed.
