Background

I don’t teach from a textbook.
I teach from the work.

I’m Cecil Renshaw — Microsoft Certified Trainer, M365 consultant, and founder of SharePoint Business Solutions, Inc. (SBSI). For the past 18+ years I’ve been doing one thing: helping organizations actually use the Microsoft tools they’re already paying for.

Most of what I teach is curriculum I wrote myself — built from real client work and refined through hundreds of training engagements. Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint, MS Project, Data-Driven Decisions — these frameworks came out of solving real problems for real organizations, not adapting someone else’s slides.

I work with a wide range of clients: government agencies, corporations, small businesses, and individual professionals looking to build skills that translate directly into results on the job. Whether it’s a three-day workshop for a government analytics team or a one-on-one coaching engagement for a business analyst preparing for the PL-300 exam — the goal is always the same: you leave capable, not just informed.

I’m also available for direct consulting — SharePoint architecture, Power Platform implementation, Power BI analytics buildouts, and M365 governance strategy. If your team is stuck or starting from scratch, let’s talk.

“My goal is never to make you dependent on a consultant. It’s to leave you capable enough that you don’t need one — unless you want to move faster than your team can on their own.”
— Cecil Renshaw, MCT & Founder, SharePoint Business Solutions, Inc.
