Editor's Notes

  • #2 Is your organizations looking to become smarter? Attend this session to better understand the benefit of bots and how integrating them into your organization can help common tasks automated. It's the first step toward better integration between business applications together. At the end of this session, we'll demo bots and sample solutions currently available in the Office 365 space.
  • #3 A digital workplace is not just a fancy re-branding of intranets. Providing a set of services or capabilities for the organization. – ClearBox Consulting Enables new, more effective ways of working; raises employee engagement and agility; and exploits consumer-oriented styles and technologies. – Gartner Encompasses all the technologies people use to get work done in today’s workplace ... It ranges from your HR applications and core business applications to e-mail, instant messaging and enterprise social media tools and virtual meeting tools. – Deloitte
  • #8 Break down the barriers between people, Workplaces, and technologies Empower their employees to be productive and creative wherever they are... IT is a catalyst for new ways of working, but Competitive advantage increasingly comes from letting employees use technology in the way they want to. Requires a business culture that puts people first Quote from Klaus Holse (Microsoft Western Europe VP)
  • #14 Application selection has not been as straightforward. Knowing when to use what is a common question many ask. allow users to bring in their own apps, without even asking, as long as they meet some minimum pre-defined requirements (security and data backup/privacy/protection usually top the list.) IT periodically audits what's in use, looking for issues and concerns, and helps users get support if they need it, but is otherwise relatively hands off to manage cost and complexity. Azure App Discovery can help with this
  • #39 https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn722330.aspx
  • #41 helping employees to be notified about unusual events, such as meetings over lunch or during a typical commute time, and about early meetings, even setting an alarm so the employee isn’t late.
  • #43 The reason why Bots make sense is super simple. Every meeting you have in a company works in conversational manner. You ask, something, you receive some info. etc.
  • #47 Allows users to schedule a meeting within a team by syncing the calendars of all of people involved. If there is no free time, the bot will make other suggestions.
  • #59 A place where humans and systems meet to talk The real breakthrough in the conversational office era, is that office workers (AKA people) are not the only ones joining the conversation - it seems that office computerized systems and services are making themselves available through this conversational interface as well. Our bug system sends a status report over this interface, our CRM happily sends us a message when a lead is closed, our servers ask for help and send error logs in the same way a human would do.
  • #62 Clear priorities Blueprint for the roles and relationships of each department (R&D, marketing, sales, customer support, manufacturing, HR and IT). Map out how various technologies will be exploited to raise engagement levels and support the transition to a digital business.
