Patrick Tisseghem

Patrick Tisseghem, Microsoft MVP for SharePoint Server 2007, has a passion for document management and collaboration technologies. He teaches and develops courseware for SharePoint Products and Technologies, and is a managing partner of U2U nv/sa, a Microsoft Certified Partner for learning solutions.

This is a one great man, and a real SharePoint Guru. I took a 3 days course under his tuition, it was the best course and the best tutor. Patrick is a dedicated instructor in U2U. I owe my experience to his intelligent and deep tuition skills.

Right after this short, but deep, course I was able to implement my first two projects. After that, within less than a year I have successfully delivered and/or worked on over than 10 MOSS 2007 projects.

Patrick has published a very nice book, that always my companion, printed by Microsoft: Inside Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007. He is also preparing to release another book that I am really waiting for: Inside the Index and Search Engines: Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007.

I advise you all Gurus, or Gurus to be, to buy his books. You surely will not regret.

Ed Marsden

Ed (Edward) Marsden is a SharePoint consultant works in Microsoft Consultancy Services - Kuwait. Ed worked with us many times before on SharePoint 2003 projects. I have the opportunity to work with Ed closely with my first SharePoint 2007 project, a big scale intranet project and he helped me a lot understanding how to collect the information from the customer and fit these requirements to a MOSS 2007 model.

After this project I was able to successfully deliver two other projects right after that projects foloowing his leads and improving the process my way. Ed is the second person I owe my present knowledge and success in MOSS 2007.

Thanks Ed.
