Why create a fake company and band?
It’s cooler than “Contoso”
Boredom
We’ve always wanted to be in a band
We wanted our faces on a t-shirt
We already had the sticker layout, so….

The greatest fake band the SharePoint space has ever seen

Interesting Facts
Only 17.5% of bands are currently utilizing SharePoint
Surprisingly, 42% of all indie bands
Over 95% of polka bands in the Cincinnati area
49.8% of bands would see productivity increases of 250% or more if they would start using SharePoint
67.3% of all facts are made up on the spot

Backstory
Hoffman Ruler Supply of South-East North Dakota (HRSSEND) is expanding SharePoint
Geoff “The Pooch” Varosky runs the engineering team in Nortonville, ND and is tasked with onboarding new users
Christian “Buck Bucks” Buckley runs an operations team in Fort Ransom, ND and wants to help his team to be productive, quickly
Geoff and Christian also realize that they can organize their band materials using SharePoint

It’s also a Backup Plan
In case we have to keep the day jobs
And maybe need to get some productivity out of our teams
