Custom Video: SharePoint in Plain English
By leelefever on August 17, 2009 - 7:42am
While licensing our videos is still the focus of our business, we have taken on a few custom projects this summer. The first to be published is a video we were hired to produce called "SharePoint in Plain English," about Microsoft's enterprise collaboration tool. The focus of the video is to introduce Sharepoint and illustrate the old way (project info exists on multiple computers) vs. new way (project info lives in SharePoint).
Updated: Microsoft has made this video available for download so you can share it easily on Intranets, presentations, etc.
One of the things that attracted us to this project was the potential to expose our work to SharePoint users. We were so happy to work with the SharePoint team, who was flexible and very open to our interpretations. It was one of the smoothest projects we've completed to date and we appreciate their focus and dedication. Plus, it's always nice to work with local organizations.


is there a flash version
We are prohibited from installing Silverlight. is there a flash version of the video?
Changed To You Tube
Hi Craig. I've changed the video to the You Tube version. Hope this one works better for you and others.
Sharepoint
Thank you, Lee, for a most valuable explanation.
I tried to follow your post link to Microsoft, but they wanted me to download something else to watch the video. Had to search it our here.

Licensing
Hi Lee...Another fine piece of work from CommonCraft. Congratulations. Is this something that will be available for licensing? I'm sure there will be many organizations like mine that would like to share this with their employees.
Licensing
Hi Steve,
This video was a custom project, so it is the property of Microsoft. So we won't be licensing this one.
Translate?
Hi. Can i translate this (to Dutch)? I did not find info on whether i can & whether you have a preferred way ... I believe you work with DotSub?
Nice job!
Thanks, Lee and Sachi. Well done, again.

Sharepoint
Nice article!
We have sharepoint installed within our environment but it doesn't get used enough. This is a great collaboration tool if used correctly.
