Microsoft MVP Christian Buckley To Present at Microsoft Ignite

Bellevue, WA, March 31, 2015 (Newswire.com) - GTconsult, a Microsoft Gold partner in Content and Collaboration specializing in SharePoint, Office 365, Exchange, and Yammer, today has announced that Christian Buckley, a globally-recognized SharePoint expert, Office 365 MVP, and Managing Director, Americas for GTconsult, will be presenting two sessions at Microsoft Ignite, its inaugural event to combine several smaller events, such as the SharePoint Conference, TechEd, the Project Conference, and others. Buckley is highlighted on the Ignite website as a featured speaker.

Buckley joined GTconsult from Metalogix where he most recently served as Chief Evangelist, and was instrumental in the acquisitions of Axceler (by Metalogix, August 2013) and echoTechnology (by Axceler, May 2010). He previously worked at Microsoft in various program and operations management roles, including helping in the design and build out of what is now the SharePoint Online platform, and was the co-founder and CEO of a software company (QOSES Inc.) acquired by Rational Software in 2001, and East Bay Innovation Group (eBIG.org), a 501c3 non-profit acquired in 2007 by Lockheed-funded TechVentures Corporation.

For those of us who work in the space, this is THE premier event to attend this year.

"I am thrilled to be once again participating in a Microsoft event of this scale, and to be counted among some of the leading voices in the Microsoft community," stated Buckley. "For those of us who work in the space, this is THE premier event to attend this year. I am looking forward to meeting with customers, partners, and community members from around the world as they descend on Chicago. It's going to be an amazing event."

GTconsult co-founder and CEO Bradley Geldenhuys noted that Buckley's continued involvement in many of the leading Office 365 and SharePoint events around the world are helping the company add new customers. "While GTconsult is one of the fastest growing partners on the African continent, we are not yet as widely known in the US. Adding Christian to the team was our first step in expanding into the North American marketplace, where we're adding project-based and managed services customers each month. His participation in Ignite extends our visibility."

In addition to Microsoft Ignite, Buckley recently recorded sessions for the Microsoft Virtual Academy (MVA) with GTconsult co-founder and COO Craig Tarr, focusing on the topics of migrating from SharePoint on-premises to the cloud, and the differences in managing SharePoint on-premises and online. These sessions are now available to view (free) through Channel 9, Microsoft's premier educational website, and will soon be added to the MVA content catalog. The series can be found at:
