Ever look at all the tools available in the Microsoft 365 suite like Teams, SharePoint, Forms, Bookings, Power Automate, etc. and wonder if they are powerful enough to handle real challenges? Well, the team at Bellarmine University used these tools to rapidly develop systems that empowered and supported their pandemic response team in their effort to keep the university community safe. In this session you’ll see how Bellarmine quickly solved real problems using Microsoft 365 and hopefully be inspired to tackle some of your challenges using these same tools.

November 2019 – The cost of chaos, or a plan for productivity?

registerNow

Date: Friday November 15th, 2019

Time: 11:30a-1:00p

Topic: The cost of chaos, or a plan for productivity?

Experience has overwhelmingly proven that many industrial verticals have lost faith in the “big bang” approach to content management and has begun to exasperate our customers. The situation in recent years has only got worse by the addition of whole new channels of content creation that is overwhelming content consumers and creating mass confusion. We’ll start simple in this discussion with a demonstration on how Office365, SharePoint Online, and lifecycle management techniques can put your customers on the clear path to content productivity.

April 2019 – Paths to Collaboration in Office 365

 

Date: Friday April 19th, 2019

Time: 11:30a-1:00p

Topic: Paths to Collaboration in Office 365

From Sites, to Groups, to Teams, to Delve and everywhere in between, Office 365 is built for collaboration. We are going to open up the toolbox, and sort through the clutter to find the right tool for the right job.  Maybe we prefer the one-stop chat-based shop of Teams, the solitary nature of OneDrive for Business, the modern web experience of SharePoint Online sites, or the Outlook based experience of Groups.  Maybe we just want to let Delve tell us what we need before we need it.  This presentation will help you understand each path a little better and decide which ones to use to get your work done more quickly and more “collaboratively.”

Topic: Achieving Teams Greatness: A Lesson in Administration & Governance

There is plenty of guidance for getting started using Microsoft Teams, but how should administrators prepare for a successful rollout? What if you’ve already started using Teams and are realizing the administrative needs?  Without proper preparation and understanding, Teams (and Office 365 Groups) can become the wild west and leave you wondering how to dig out of a mess. This session will explore a variety of administration and governance topics that will lead you on the path to a healthy environment and prevent things from getting out of control.
