The first in our series of Love Cloud events, launched this Valentine’s Day! The event was hosted at Microsoft Paddington (London). The day consisted of 14 short, sharp focused 15 minute presentations covering topics of most concern and interest to UK cloud resellers and solution providers, interspersed with several networking opportunities throughout the day. Response was exceptional and we are looking forward to the second event taking place on the 18th May 2017.
Today, every company runs many different applications that are essential for success – both internal business applications but also external-facing applications for customers and partners (such as the company website, customer self-service portal, e-commerce sites, or mobile apps).
And then, there's data. Every user interaction with any application works with data, consumes data and generates data. Today, every business collects tremendous amounts of information - and the challenge is how to turn this data into actionable insights and intelligence to provide a superior customer experience.
Microsoft 365 provides holistic security across these four aspects of security.
By helping enterprise businesses secure corporate data and manage risk in today’s mobile-first, cloud-first world Microsoft 365 enables customers to digitally transform by unifying user productivity and enterprise security tools into a single suite that enables the modern workplace.
Identity & Access Mgmt
Secure identities to reach zero trust

Security Management
Strengthen your security posture with insights and guidance
Create a single source of truth
The starting point for building a data-driven culture is establishing a single source of truth. We make this easy with Power BI, a modern BI cloud service that connects to all of your data, wherever it lives, in the cloud or on premises, Microsoft or non-Microsoft. It delivers insights to you in any way, anywhere, from mobile to web, as well as embedded in apps, both first party and third party. Office 365 further extends this with versions that allow you to quickly look at differences, auditing and roll back, allowing you to confidently manage the single version of truth.
Analyze & visualize data
The next step is to make it easy to analyze and explore data, then share it out seamlessly. Here we deliver the industry leading analyst tool with Excel, which allows you to ask questions at the pace of your business transformation, in a tool you use daily. Sometimes it's easier for us to spot trends and outliers when data is presented visually. Power BI makes visualization simple and easy. Sometimes we want both. Power BI integrates natively with Excel, so users can easily dive deeper into visualizations from Excel and vice-versa. Together with Visio, you can visualize complex process flows directly into Power BI.
Run your business in real time with live dashboards
All of the visualizations and dashboards you create in Power BI, Excel, and Visio can be programmed to update in real-time, so that you can react to opportunities and threats as soon as they appear.
Put insights at the center of teamwork
Lastly, with the growing importance of teamwork in the modern workplace it’s critical that teams can collaborate on data in real-time. Power BI and Excel both integrate natively with Teams and Office 365, making it easier to create consensus based on data.
Conclusion
All of these capabilities add up to better, faster decision-making – a 2017 study by Forrester found that with Microsoft 365 E5 employees make decisions in 18% less time – think about how much faster your business could move with decisions made in hours or days rather than weeks.

Microsoft 365 is a platform for workplace modernization across security, compliance, productivity, and communications.
Why one platform – the best of suite approach versus best of breed
Microsoft is now best of breed is many of these capabilities as well across security, compliance, meetings, and collaboration.
A fresh new experience
Project offers a redesigned user experience that is simple and intuitive. Teams can quickly add new members and set up tasks, and then easily switch between grids, boards, or timeline (Gantt) charts to track progress. And because Project is part of the Microsoft 365 family, project teams can save time and do more with built-in connections to familiar apps like Microsoft Teams and Office.

Collaboration made easy
Designed to do much more than just track progress, Project works with Teams to support collaboration and make it easy to manage all aspects of a team project, including file sharing, chats, meetings, and much more. Team members in scattered locations can even edit tasks simultaneously, so they can get more done together, no matter where they are. To help teams stay on track, Project offers an automated scheduling engine based on effort, duration, and resources.
Sharepoint User Group Geneva - Introduction to Office 365Mark Stokes
This is an "Introduction to Office 365" session that I performed to the SharePoint User Group in Geneva in March 2014.
I cover the architecture of Office 365 (and related technologies) and focus in on SharePoint Online and the administration tools.
I also discuss a few "Cloud" based topics that are not necessarily Office 365 focused, but considerations that you should think about before engaging ANY cloud provider.
Enabling Teamwork From Anywhere - From Microsoft and Razor TechnologyDavid J Rosenthal
As we look at how Microsoft 365 cost savings can help customers achieve their goals, these are the key categories of savings.
Consolidating to a single vendor can cost much less than choosing different vendors for multiple capabilities. Microsoft 365 includes many of the capabilities for which you are currently paying other vendors.
The expectation is that every customer should be able to reduce administration effort because Microsoft will now be responsible for maintaining the hardware and software. This helps IT transition to higher-value activities and boost morale.
The security solutions within Microsoft 365 greatly reduce the number of successful end user security attacks. Attacks that are successful are usually found faster when the impact is less severe. That means easier remediation. Compliance solutions help reduce your risk by managing alerts on potential insider risk, protecting sensitive information, and quickly finding and responding to regulatory requests.
Microsoft 365 helps organizations reduce office space costs by enabling them to move on-site employees to permanent, secure and remote positions. It also allows for valuable collaboration while reducing travel costs.
Microsoft 365 helps organizations transform and streamline business processes through workflows, dashboards, AI capabilities, and more.
Any customer previously paying for Microsoft client software and CALs that would no longer be required after licensing Microsoft 365 would receive this benefit.
Compared to their on-prem peers, customers who have strongly adopted Microsoft 365 are:
66% more likely to say they are “very confident” in their org to deliver technology that’d help them manage through challenges.
57% more likely to say that end users have the technology to enable flexibility to choose where they get their jobs done
2.1x higher levels of user satisfaction with the remote work experience relative to peers less adopted on Microsoft 365.
How Using Microsoft Office 365 Can Benefit Your OrganisationBright Technology
The growth of cloud infrastructure in recent years has led to a surge in popularity of Software as a Service (SaaS) packages such as Microsoft Office 365. This popularity stems from a variety of factors, including ease of use, reduced costs, and automatic updates. Recent research by IDC demonstrates that businesses are increasingly using cloud-first procurement strategies. As
a result of this and other factors, IDC forecasts that global public revenue from IT cloud services will grow at over 19% through 2019, nearly 6 times the growth rate of IT spending growth as a whole – with spending on SaaS leading the way. Currently, almost 80% of businesses deploy or fully embrace the cloud, according to IDC. Furthermore, the percentage of companies expressing no
interest in the cloud has declined to 8% from 21% in 2014. The cloud has truly become a mainstream IT tool for most businesses, offering enhanced productivity enabling companies to improve the efficiency of their operations. This guide will explain why the cloud matters to SMEs (small and medium-size enterprises) as well as covering in detail the various features and benefits of the Microsoft Office 365 cloud bundle.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

33. Successful SharePoint projects are built on metadata
• SharePoint is a powerful document management system, but in order to get
the return on your investment you need rich metadata added to your
documents.
• Without metadata, users will struggle to find and organise their content and
organisations will be unable to govern the ever-growing store of information
within SharePoint.
• Whether you are migrating content into SharePoint, or looking to improve
your existing sites then metadata is the difference between a successful or
failed project.
34. Building taxonomies & adding metadata has always been a
tough job
• Building taxonomies from scratch is a time-consuming trial and error
prone process.
• Asking users to fill in metadata fields to save their documents to
SharePoint impacts productivity and creates user adoption problems.
• Migrated content will have no metadata.
35. Next-generation taxonomy creation and metadata tagging
TermSet uses Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to add
accurate consistent metadata to SharePoint content, without placing any
burden on end users or the IT team. No manual work, it just happens.
Taxonomy Creation
Creates and maintains SharePoint taxonomies
unique to your content
Powerful natural language processing ensures
your taxonomies are accurate and always up to
date
Cloud or On Premises
Choose from a software as a service or a local
installation
Metadata Tagging
SharePoint content is automatically tagged with
rich and consistent metadata
Tagging can be part of a migration process or as
new documents are added to a library
Packed with Powerful Features
Language analysis
Document summary generation
Pattern and phrase matching
Concept classification
36. See the following benefits to your SharePoint project
Smarter SharePoint migrations
Enrich your documents with meaningful
and consistent metadata as part of your
migration project
Improve your Information Architecture
Build your SharePoint sites to reflect the
information you store and remove the
need for folders and views
Supercharge SharePoint Search
Dramatically improve SharePoint search
by providing refinable metadata to your
users
Power Compliance & Workflows
Use metadata to drive compliance
and governance of your
documents and drive workflows.
39. GDPR
What is GDPR?
General Data Protection Regulation. A
huge change for how we all handle data,
PII (Personal Identifiable Information).
What happens if non-compliant?
Up to €20M or 4% of global turnover
(which ever is greater)
When does GDPR come into force?
25th May 2018.
Who does GDPR apply to?
Any organisation who hold PII on
any other person or organisation
