A Practical Guide to SharePoint 2013: Business Expert Releases New Book on Microsoft’s #1 Portal Technology

From Saifullah Shafiq, "A Practical Guide to SharePoint 2013" is a simple and effective way to learn the ins and outs of Microsoft’s popular application. Contending that many businesses could solve their issues simply by utilizing SharePoint’s myriad of capabilities, Shafiq offers his guide as a tool for getting the most from SharePoint, and for implementing its technologies into day-to-day operations.

Frederick, MD, February 14, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Saifullah Shafiq is the President of Wali Systems Inc., a company that has been providing SharePoint consulting, staffing and development services for many years. An expert on SharePoint, Shafiq is announcing the release of his latest book, "A Practical Guide to SharePoint 2013."

Spurred on by SharePoint user community requests, Shafiq decided to publish the book in order to meet the demand. “We couldn’t help but hear the constant questions, and so we answered by producing this book,” stated Shafiq. “Wali Systems has been an active member of the SharePoint community since 2006, and has been providing support and help to the community in the form of technical articles, applications, code samples, forum discussions, blogs, and books.”

Shafiq’s SharePoint blog (http://blog.walisystemsinc.com) is one of the most read blogs on SharePoint technology.

"A Practical Guide to SharePoint 2013" is Shafiq’s fifth book on the application. Offering useful tips and exercises to help readers learn SharePoint quickly, Shafiq prides himself on his ‘no-fluff’ approach to education. With his guide, companies can fully harness the power of SharePoint, since it is – as Shafiq points out – the #1 Intranet solution on the market today.

A powerful tool in itself, "A Practical Guide to SharePoint 2013" is a must read for company leaders and employees everywhere.

As the author points out, SharePoint has so many capabilities – many executives and leaders are unaware of them.

“Microsoft has invested tremendously in this product and it has evolved over the years and has become a must-have product. It provides team collaboration, document sharing and management, Search, Social integration, and so on but since it is a big product and companies usually do not have well-trained resources to perform the operations, they get into trouble and complain about the product,” says Shafiq.
