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

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.

Date: Friday February 15th, 2019

Time: 11:30a-1:00p

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.
