Microsoft technology is moving at a rapid pace. New ways to work are being developed rapidly as well. A few such new tools are Office 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams. These look powerful and promising but they seem similar. Also, where do they fit with SharePoint? In this session, we will look at what each is, what their differences are, and when is the best time to use each.

SharePoint is one of the most popular web services offered by Microsoft.
It is a web application that supports collaboration, data storage, and secure document management across the intranet platforms.
This is the slide deck which was used for my webinar on Digital Transformation and Microsoft 365. In this session I've given a detailed overview of Digital Transformation and how it has been disrupting the organizations across the globe. I've also explained how Microsoft 365 can help in planning your organization's Digital Transformation.
It doesn't get any sweeter than this. As of September 1st, Microsoft started offering huge incentives to encourage organizations to move to the cloud. So if you are already kicking the tires on Office 365 or perhaps just migrated Exchange to Office 365, these new features and unprecedented incentives recently announced now make a pretty compelling case to make the move to Office 365.
You may have heard that Microsoft NextGen Portals are coming. And maybe you are already using tools like Delve that are the first generation of these NextGen Portals. But many questions around NextGen Portals have gone unanswered.
Get the answers you need to better understand and use Microsoft NextGen Portals.
In this webinar, Portal Solutions’ Daniel Cohen-Dumani and Josh Steiner discuss the most frequently asked questions about NextGen Portals.
- What are NextGen Portals anyway?
- Why are NextGen Portals important?
- When are NextGen Portals coming?

Have you heard of Intelligent Process Automation (IPA) yet? It may be viewed as a simple equation, IPA = BPA (Business Process Automation) + RPA (Robotics Process Automation) .
BPA represents the long standing traditional way of automating processes over the years using technology to streamline activities and tasks and RPA being the emerging technology that seeks to employ Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract repetitive and mundane handled by human actors to that of ro-“bots” who’s job it is to improve efficiencies and reduce potential errors and omissions.
In this webinar, we show you various cross sections of approaches especially around the Microsoft Stack and Independent Software Vendors (ISV’s) like K2, on how you can achieve rapid success within your organization with a combination of what you may already own and what you can easily acquire to take your work processes to the next level.
You’re all in. Whether you just have Office 365 – or the whole suite of Microsoft 365: Windows 10, Office 365, Enterprise Mobility + Security, you’re likely using an intranet built on Office 365, or are planning on it. Over the last 15 years we’ve seen what employees MUST HAVE to continually rely on a corporate Intranet.
In this session, Microsoft MVP, Adam Levithan, discusses the most important pieces that your Intranet can have to build culture, centralize knowledge and help employees be productive.
Are you one of the 200,000+ organizations that have rolled out Microsoft Teams? Microsoft Teams has been Microsoft's fastest growing business applications in company history, and for good reason! The power of teamwork and real time collaboration in the digital workplace using Microsoft Teams has been making a huge impact on productivity. In this session we discuss what Microsoft Teams is and how to use it, as well as how organizations are saving time and improving collaboration and communication using the product.
Microsoft Teams just appeared for many Office 365 subscribers. Since then, it’s been “On,” but has not been officially rolled out. Many are lacking the enterprise plan for how Teams should be used, and as a result, users have gone rogue and started creating Teams and using it without any formal policy.
In this webinar, Jill Hannemann goes over Administration policies you should care about, how to rein in existing Teams, and set forth communication on governance moving forward.
This is your governance guide to enterprise roll outs for Microsoft Teams!
Every project manager seeks organization, engagement with their team, timeliness of work completion, and success for their project.
Some projects are very complex and need to use some of the heavy project management tools such as Microsoft Project. Others are less complex and can easily be managed with Microsoft Teams and Planner integration. The ease of communication and collaboration in Microsoft Teams combined with the time saved getting work done quickly make it a powerful toolkit for project managers.
In this webinar, we talked about:
- Ideas for how you can use Microsoft Teams to manage you projects successfully
- How to use Planner right within Microsoft Teams
- Information about other project management related third party apps that can be leveraged within Microsoft Teams

This year Office 365 turns 5. Has it really been that long? Never before in our technical language has one word "Modern" taken on so many different meanings!
Starting in 2013, Office 365 took on the basic form we know today. Through these 5 years Office 365 has seen many changes, with one of the latest being Modern pages, sites, framework etc. Yes, Modern is not only about look and feel but how Office 365 is being built and how it can simplify how your employees collaborate and communicate.
In this webinar, Microsoft MVP, Adam Levithan looks at:
- Major differences between Classic vs. Modern experiences
- What modern means to an everyday employee
- Future roadmap of Office 365 features
Organizations are changing. People want to work in a more efficient and digitalized way allowing them to be successful at their day to day job.
Business users want to be involved in the decision around the systems and platforms that are being implemented. However, the pace of change that IT is able to handle might not be in sync with that the business users are asking for. When the IT strategy ignores this movement, shadow IT and employee retention can be impacted negatively.
In this webinar, Withum's Fabian Williams, MVP and Jethro Seghers of SkySync, discuss how workforce modernization can help you avoid the issues that might rise with this movement.
In this webinar we cover:
- How do you make content transparently available for the right users within the right tools?
- How do you enable content integration between the different platforms without having to recreate content?
- How to implement automation over these disparate data sources into your line of business processes and/or employee interactions
- How organizations can embrace change without sacrificing corporate culture & policies.
Whether you’re new to Office 365 or looking to refine your approach, this webinar focuses on document management and ways to leverage Office 365. There are many different apps within Office 365 that can provide document storage, but which one is right for the different stages of a document’s development?
Planning how to roll out Office 365 for electronic files doesn’t have to be hard, and having a little help is never a bad thing. We share some of our best tips to rolling out document management with tools from Office 365.
You will get a better understanding of:
- Navigating the different apps within Office 365 that provide document storage
- Creating a simple document lifecycle that maps to governance and document management
- Setting up document management within Office 365, learn what should be turned on
The pressure to be more competitive is constant. Organizations must battle hard for every percentage point of growth. Yet most organizations have untapped potential within their reach. IT optimization through ERP deployment improves the top and the bottom line of the P&L.
In this webinar, Walter Merkas and Rene Theberge of Withum, explain how spending too little on Business Management Systems ends up costing much more than desired. Managing a business through an ERP is less costly than one may think.
They cover the anticipated need, costs and benefits of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software.
Some say the changes that will occur in the business world in the next five years will have more of an impact than the changes that have occurred over the last 30! To NOT adapt to change is to get left behind.
Investing in change can be difficult. Simply identifying what needs to be changed can be overwhelming. Executing and driving change can appear impossible.
Transformation is possible. By looking at what both exists in terms of current circumstances as well as possibilities, businesses can develop manageable, successful strategies that make the path forward exciting and tactical.
Whether you are aiming to enhance revenue, increase efficiency, innovate, or plan for what lies ahead – in this webinar we discuss driving sustainability and success through operational transformation.
Topics include:
· Breaking down barriers and aligning operations with your future
· Identifying opportunities for growth and success
· Leveraging technology to enhance productivity
· Prioritizing initiatives and next steps
As the European Union (EU) has enacted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is easy to perceive this regulation would apply to only multinational or European companies. GDPR will certainly impact businesses in EU; but it will extend its applicability for international businesses, even those based in the United States.
In this webinar, Daniel Cohen-Dumani and Anupam Goradia of Withum cover what exactly GDPR is and why it is important to your business. We also share practical tips and best practice on how to ensure your compliance.
With more than 85 million people actively using Office 365, enterprises are looking to the platform to provide underlying technology to support knowledge management efforts.
In this webinar, Withum's Jill Hannemann, Principal, discusses fundamentals of a knowledge management strategy and areas where the technology of Office 365 aligns with process and people.
Jill focuses on how different workloads within Office 365 support functions such as sharing, organizing, finding, and retaining valuable, unstructured knowledge.
In this webnar, Withum's Melissa Hubbard, MVP, teams up with CardioLog Analytics and Matthew Bailey, MCT to talk about everything you need to know about the latest Microsoft capability, Microsoft Teams.
This in-depth session covers what teams is, how it can benefit you and how to use Teams successfully in your organization.
In this webinar, we talk about how Microsoft Office 365 can be integrated into the healthcare industry to create a powerful and secure space for your staff to collaborate in.
The overwhelming amount of announcements we heard at Microsoft Ignite this year provided us with so much exciting content to share, we've decided to do a couple of break out webinar sessions on what matters most to organizations.
In this webinar, Daniel and Chris for this webinar talk about the latest news in SharePoint and OneDrive. They review new features, where each of these workloads are headed and what it means for your organization.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
