Enterprise Social: Where are we now and where are we goingJasper Oosterveld
Microsoft double downed in the Enterprise Social business since the acquisition of Yammer in the summer of 2012. The acquisition was necessary due to the lacking Enterprise Social features within SharePoint and the rise of Social media. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn were adopted by millions of people and businesses became eager to implement the Social media features within their own enterprise. A lot has changed since that summer of 2012 and Yammer isn't the only Enterprise Social service for SharePoint and Office 365. During this presentation Jasper Oosterveld (Office 365 MVP) is going to explain the current state of Enterprise Social within SharePoint and Office 365. We are going to look at the latest Enterprise Social services such as Yammer, Office 365 Groups, Delve and the Video Portal.
Through numerous years of eating, drinking and sleeping SharePoint I have come to realize that there is 1 thing that has never changed. That 1 thing is a question and the answer to that question is the most important thing in all of SharePoint. That question is "What direction should my organization be going and how do we get there?". The question or a very close form of that question is asked anytime something bad happens to the current environment or software, the current environment or software is up for renewal, new technology is introduced and last but not least, during yearly budget planning. Most companies will fall into one of the following categories:
• Current application is no longer suitable due to company growth, lack of functionality or
• Current application company that created & supported it no longer exists.
• Starting from scratch and SharePoint has been chosen now deciding which way to go and where to start?
• Currently utilizing SharePoint but not exactly the way Microsoft intended
• Need to upgrade to continue support
Regardless of the current situation your organization is in the end goal for all is success and success is measured by the usage of the application. Yes folks user adoption IS more important than being on time or under budget. Otherwise, what was the point of the entire project that I am sure took months and sometimes years to plan and implement. In this session I will take you through where to start, keys to choosing the right path for your organization and most importantly implement SharePoint in a way user adoption meets your goals and of course come in on time and on par with the budget.
Productivity in an age of collaboration sps london 2019Alan Eardley
"I have so many things to do, and there are so many tools to help me "collaborate" with my colleagues. The problem is that I end up collaborating and not getting anything done."
A familiar sentiment that affects all of us when we have E-mail, Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Mobile Phones and colleagues to communicate with. We all feel the need to be accessible all of the time which means we get distracted and become less productive.
In this session I will share some best practices that could help you become more productive whilst not appearing to ignore your colleagues. All of the best practices are based on a combination of psychology and technology and even some common sense!
You will leave this session with ideas on how to use the technology effectively to allow you to balance your time between collaborating effectively and having times to focus and be more productive.
Is your organization looking to move your email to the cloud in order to get more space, better access and improved uptime? There are two big players the cloud space: Office 365 and Google Apps.

Matthew Eshleman, Director of Professional Services at Community IT Innovators, provided an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of Office 365 and Google Apps. He will also share case studies of organizations that have moved to both platforms, issues they faced in the transition, and costs involved with moving to these cloud platforms.
This webinar covered the following topics.
- Understanding the fine print in the service level agreement
- Staff training and buy-in required
- Costs involved in setting it up
- Moving data in and how to move data out in the future

Increasing Productivity With Google Apps & Gmail Tools4Good.org
Google Apps is popular communication and collaboration platform for nonprofits. Gmail is the most-used part of Google Apps. This webinar introduces a number of third-party tools and techniques that make Gmail and Google Apps even better.
From Outlook to Excel, Microsoft Office software has been essential at nonprofits for many years. With increasing competition from Google Apps, Microsoft now offers nonprofits an opportunity to apply for free licenses for using Office 365, a cloud version of Office. Should your organization make the leap to Office 365?
Johanny Torrico, Community IT’s Director of Ongoing Support, discussed the benefits of using Office 365 in your organization.
Here are some of the questions that were addressed during the webinar.
- How can my organization apply for the free nonprofit license for Office 365?
- What are the steps for a successful Office 365 migration?
- What goes into the pricing for the Office 365 migration project?
- What are the differences between the Office 365 E1 (free) and E3 ($5 per user) plans?
- What are some of the benefits of moving to Office 365 instead of hosting email in-house or through other email providers?
- What is the Service Level Agreement (SLA) for Office 365?
Sometimes when you are starting on an idea for a project you dont know where or how to start. This is a tried and tested strategy that gets you going. From inspiration to organization, tools to knowledge, all you need to know to build the next great app.
While Office365 continues to grow at a rapid rate, adoption beyond Exchange can be slow without a strategy in place. This presentation discusses: a "go to market" strategy for a successful Office 365 deployment; productivity features that will enhance adoption; strategies for keeping end users engaged; how to track usage and activity so you can measure your success; and touches on many of the productivity features (Groups, Delve, Yammer, co-editing, etc). The primary focus, however, is on the management/ongoing educational aspects of a successful deployment.

SP Fest Denver - O365 Governance: One Area Cloud May Not Be SimplerStacy Deere
Random things we all typically hear when it comes to Governance…
• Not on top of the list right now
• Not in the budget
• We’ll get to it later
• Not really seeing the need…
I have yet to hear 1 valid reason as to why Governance should not be completed, maintained, or approved in budgets. Governance really is not an option in any organization if you want your processes and procedures followed by employees. Each time I have been involved in a project where governance was put on the back burner there have been issues with not knowing what other departments processes were, building themselves into a corner, not meeting service level agreements, and the list goes on and on. If there is no one source of truth in how all the functions of the business run, how are you ever going to build a solid foundation and keep it running at the level it needs to run so that your organization can be successful? In this session we will review what governance is, how it can be useful, how you can get started, maintain it, and most importantly how to get it approved!

When To Use What In Office 365 (Enterprise User Guidance)Richard Harbridge
Your users may struggle with these questions: Should I share a message via Skype for Business instead of Yammer, Office 365 Groups, or Exchange? Should I collaborate on data using an Excel sheet or a SharePoint list? Should I share a file in Outlook, in a meeting, from OneDrive for Business, on Yammer, in a Group, or in a SharePoint site? This session is the ‘How To’ user’s guide What happens when your users can't decide what technology or feature to use? They use what they know, or what’s easy; even if better options exist. In this session, Richard and Kanwal help you maximize the value of your Office 365 investment by providing the guidance you need to help your users make better, more effective decisions on how they get work done.

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.
