Office 365 is the best-in-class productivity platform for a modern business. It works the way you want to. It is a consistent, familiar and synced experience across your smartphone, tablet, and desktop.
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.

Migrating 3000 users and 1100 applications from Lotus Notes to Office 365Arno Flapper
A large international customer decided to move into Microsoft Office 365. Their challenge is to migrate 3000+ users, 1100 applications and 100 Tb of file share data located in 50 locations and datacenters across Europe. With this migration all datacenters must be replaced by a central datacenter in The Netherlands using Office 365 and Azure within months. And we did it! A challenging project and a perfect showcase to demonstrate the do’s and don’ts when migrating to the several components of Office 365, i.e. Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business at the speed of light.
In this session we will demonstrate how we:
- Analyzed the on-premises installations
- Cleaned up the obsolete users and data
- Prepared the Office 365-tenant to host 3000 users and over 30 domains
- Set-up the AD FS-infrastructure in Windows Azure
- Migrated 3000 users, their mail domains and aliases
- Migrated the file shares to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online
- Migrated the applications to SharePoint Online and Azure
- The PowerShell workarounds we used to fix several incompatibility issues between Office 365 and the on-premises installations…and what not to do.

Mobility with Office 365 How to make use of it (different apps) in your organ...Knut Relbe-Moe [MVP, MCT]
Mobility with Office 365 how to make use of it in your organization
Your mobile phone has so many tools that you can use with your Office 365 subscription, during my New York SharePoint Saturday session I walked trough the different tools I use in my workday, and shared some tips and tricks on the different tools.
Microsoft has been working for years to transition their popular Office suite of productivity tools to the cloud and Office 365 is the latest and most mature realization of their vision. Office 365 is a subscription-based, web-delivered version of WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT and other related applications designed to work in a collaborative environment.
In this workshop we will review the wide variety of subscription models and what features and benefits would steer you toward the best fit for your organization. Because Office 365 is tightly related to Office 2013 and Microsoft’s cloud-based storage service SkyDrive, we will explore those relationships and help you understand the total Microsoft Office ecosystem. We’ll also discuss moving Outlook e-mail from your servers to the new cloud-based hosted Exchange.
This presentation focuses on the web-based versions of popular Office applications and how to take advantage of a new world for Microsoft: multi-user editing and collaborative sharing of documents in the cloud. During this workshop we will discuss some of the key differences between Google Apps and Office 365 since Google is the key competitor in the Cloud-delivered office tool marketplace.
Learning Targets:
I can create, edit and locate files and folders in OneDrive.
I can sync my OneDrive to my computer
I can learn some cool tricks with Office365!
In our brave new cloud-supported, multi-device world, we been told that we can access our data from anywhere at any time. But the experience is a bit different than the promise – why are my contacts different on my phone from my laptop? If I send e-mail from my phone, does it end up in the SENT folder on my computer? How do I edit the spreadsheet on my tablet and see those changes on my desktop?
How do you keep e-mail, calendars, contacts and files correctly synced between all of the devices used to access that data?
Keeping your world synced properly between devices requires some planning, setup and choices. In this workshop we will explore the various software, tools and tricks that do the best job of keeping your world in synch. We will also describe the best ways to share and synch data with other people so that your family can use the one calendar and your project group can work on the one set of important documents (and vice versa!)

Protect your hybrid workforce across the attack chainDavid J Rosenthal
Security is one of the most important considerations for SMBs. In fact, 77% of SMBs in a recent survey consider security a top feature when purchasing new PCs.1
Last year alone, 67% of SMBs experienced a security breach that cost, on average, 3.3% of their revenue.1 That’s a big risk to both profitability and reputation, and it shows how critical strong security protections are for businesses.
The good news is that 69% of SMBs in a recent survey agreed that new Windows 10 Pro devices offered better security and data protection than older devices.1
Research shows that modern devices help business owners by preventing identity attacks, minimizing phishing, and reducing the risk of malware attacks. These are all common ways that bad actors steal business data, steal personal information, or hold our devices hostage in exchange for huge amounts of ransom money.
And with modern PCs, most security functions can happen in the cloud, without interrupting worker productivity.
Connections is a company branded employee app in Teams. It is a gateway to your employee experience, with personalized news, communications, tasks, people and resources. It provides a single curated employee destination that can be configured for specific roles like frontline workers. So, leaders can communicate and engage their employees, and employees can get easy access to the tools and resources they need from one place.. Connections builds on existing capabilities in Microsoft 365 like SharePoint and Yammer. And it pulls your communications together into a pre-configured app in Teams, designed for both desktop and mobile workers. It also acts as a launching pad to the other 3 Viva modules
Insights brings together Workplace Analytics, MyAnalytics and Glint into a unified insights app in Teams to provide data-driven and privacy-protected insights for individuals, managers and leaders.

Topics focuses on knowledge and expertise. Topics applies AI to identify knowledge and experts and organize them into shared topics. AI automatically creates a topic page for each topic. It’s like Wikipedia for the enterprise where AI does the first draft. And these topic pages are surfaced as Topic Cards right in the flow of work in Office and Teams.
Finally, Learning allows employees to easily discover informal and formal learning in the flow of work. It aggregates content from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and 3rd party training content and your own organizations content – all in one place. Along with providing aggregation and recommendations, it also allows managers to assign and track training, as well as report on training within and across teams.

The Java ecosystem is very broad, with different technologies including Java SE, Java EE/Jakarta EE, Spring, numerous application servers, and other frameworks. Wherever you are in Java, Azure supports your workload and process with an abundance of choice – from IaaS to fully managed services. You can run any application architecture, from monoliths, to containerized monoliths, all the way to completely microservices based apps.
We see three broad patterns for running Java applications in the cloud, depending on how much control or productivity you need.
The first is lift and shift with Virtual Machines:
Virtual machines provide the most flexibility, control and visibility while moving to the cloud, especially for initial lift and shift of Java workloads. Azure provides a variety of Java focused VM images and solutions templates in the Azure Marketplace to get you up and running quickly.
The second is modernization using containers:
Containers provide portability, flexibility, scalability, manageability, repeatability, and predictability.
Azure provides best of breed support for Docker and Kubernetes, especially through the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Red Hat OpenShift.
Finally, Azure has the most managed hosting options for Java applications of any major cloud platform with fully managed PaaS for Spring, Tomcat, and JBoss EAP:
Managed services offer ease-of-use, ease-of-management, productivity, and lower total cost of ownership.
You can focus on building your applications, not managing infrastructure.
All of this is supported by managed databases and DevOps tooling:
Use fully managed SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cosmos DB, and SQL.
Keep using the tools you love, with plugins for IntelliJ and Eclipse, integrations with a variety of DevOps tools like Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, and GitHub.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

you are—on your computer, tablet, or phone. To view your email or calendar
on your computer, you can use Outlook or Outlook Web App. To view your
email or calendar on your phone or tablet, you can use Outlook Web App or
a compatible app that’s on your device (such as an email and calendar app).
• Outlook is an application that you install on your computer.
• Outlook Web App is the browser-based version of Outlook that you can
access over the internet, on just about any device.
For more information, see Compare Outlook and Outlook Web App.

• On your phone or tablet, you use an app.
• On just about any device, you can access your email in a browser window using
Outlook Web App.
Compare Outlook and Outlook Web App
33. Outlook provides a calendar that you can use to schedule your meetings and
appointments. Your calendar will remain up to date across all your devices where you’re
using Office 365.
37. One way to put Office 365 to work for you is by adding an automatic signature to your
email. This is useful when you don’t want to type your contact information at the end of
every message. It also helps maintain consistency across the messages you send.
39. You can set up automatic replies to let people know when you’re unavailable. You can
specify a time range for your automatic replies, and even specify different messages for
different groups.
42. When you first sign into Office 365, it might look like you have no contacts at all. You do
have access to people in your organization even if you’re not sure where they are at first.
A good place to start is by finding people in your organization, then you can add them
to your contacts list. You can also add external people as contacts.
44. Use your calendar to stay organized by having your meetings and appointments in one
place, available across all your devices. In just a few clicks (or taps), you can set up a
meeting with someone or an appointment for yourself, and get reminders ahead of time
so you don't miss anything.
46. With Office 365 you can share your calendar with anyone inside or outside your
organization. When you share your calendar with someone inside your organization,
they will be able to add it directly to their calendar view in Outlook or Outlook Web App.
People outside your organization will be sent a URL that they can use to view your
calendar.
Note that Calendar sharing may not be available for your account, or may be limited to
people in your organization.
48. Others can share their calendar with you, and depending on the permission they give
you, you’ll be able to view their calendar, edit it, or act as a delegate for meeting
requests.

60. OneDrive for Business is the place where you can store, share, and sync your work files
and then get to them from anywhere on virtually any device. The first step is to drag
some files to OneDrive for Business in a browser.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Drag files to OneDrive for Business
• Upload files to OneDrive for Business
63. After you upload files to OneDrive for Business, you can see them from other devices by
just signing into your Office 365 site in your browser, and then clicking OneDrive.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• See your files from other devices
66. You can work with the files you store in OneDrive for Business right from Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, and other Office desktop apps. There's no need to go to your Office 365 site
in a browser.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Save a file
• Open a file
• Add a place to save a file
71. Sync OneDrive for Business to your computer, and then get to your files in File Explorer
instead of in a web browser. All your changes sync to OneDrive for Business whenever

for Business or site libraries to your computer.
75. After you sync your OneDrive for Business files with your computer, you can manage
your files like other files on your computer. You move, rename, and delete your files the
same way you're used to, except the changes you make to OneDrive for Business files
sync to all your other devices. So if you delete a file here, it's deleted everywhere.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Copy or move a file
• Rename a file
• Delete a file
79. When you store your files in OneDrive for Business, you can share with others from any
device by going to your Office 365 site. Or you can share right from Office without even
going to Office 365 in a separate window. Whichever way you share Office files, you can
work with others at the same time they work and see changes as people make them.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Share a file with everyone from a site
• Share a file with individuals from a site
• Share a file from an Office desktop
84. When you store and share your files in OneDrive for Business, you can work with others
at the same and avoid reconciling multiple versions of your files. Work together from
either the online or the desktop versions of Word, PowerPoint, or OneNote. For
workbooks, use Excel Online. If someone opens the workbook in the Excel desktop
application, the workbook can’t be edited in Excel Online until it’s closed again in
desktop Excel.
In this module, you’ll learn how to:
• Work with others at the same time

Scenarios highlights what we consider the 5 primary high level scenarios that are impacting end users on a daily basis.
Today, we are going to focus on what is means to _______ {
Why is this important?
Giving your employees the freedom to work when and where they need to—on their favorite devices—can increase productivity, simplify team collaboration, and enhance their work-life balance. With Office 365, anything you can do in the office, you can now do on the go.
Tips to set yourself up for success
Encourage your teams to install Office 365 on up to 5 of their devices, so that they can stay connected and work together whether they're in the office, on the road, or at home.
You can use a SharePoint teamsite to host awareness and training materials to ensure employees know how to get Office 365 setup on their devices.
Also, add a Yammer group feed to the SharePoint teamsite so that employees have a place to ask questions and share feedback about their experiences.
Benefits for the organization
Free your teams to work anywhere
Embrace the freedom to live life and work the way that’s best for both teams and individuals. Today’s business users want more intuitive technology, uninterrupted services, and the freedom to work when and where they need to. Office 365 helps take location out of the equation so that your employees can live life on their terms.
Connected people are productive people
Office 365 keeps people connected to one another, and to documents and data. Intuitive tools for online meetings, file storage and sharing, and team collaboration make it easy to connect and collaborate with colleagues whenever, wherever.
Why is this important?
Email is a natural and consistent part of your daily work life. Make sure you’re using a service that understands what you need. With the capabilities included in Office 365, you’re not only getting a service built on enterprise experience and security, but also the latest innovative and easy-to-use collaboration and communication features.
Tips to set yourself up for success
Though most may find email to be rather straightforward, there are tips you can share to help your coworkers stay organized and have better control of their inboxes.
You can organize periodic training sessions to teach your employees the best practices for using email folders, groups and message filtering, demonstrate how to easily schedule and access a Lync online meeting using Outlook calendar, and encourage coworkers to share their calendars within teams to keep better track of everyone's availability and minimize scheduling conflicts.
Benefits for the organization
Protect data in your email
Keeping messages encrypted outside of the company was a tricky endeavor—until now. Your employees can now send encrypted emails to anyone. If the recipient responds, or even if they forward the message to someone else, the encryption remains in place.
Anti-spam and anti-malware protection
Office 365 applies a layer of anti-spam and anti-malware protection across a global network of datacenters to prevent infection via email. And your employees have control over their spam-quarantined messages.
Why is this important?
When everyone is working together it can be hard to keep track of files—and even harder to work with them on the go. With one place for all your work files, you can access them anytime, from any device, and share the latest version with the rest of the team.
Tips to set yourself up for success
Start small and identify a few projects or initiatives where your team can start using OneDrive for Business to better manage their shared documents and keep track of others' edits.
When deciding which projects to start with, prioritize those that you know will be easier to implement and will have a positive impact on the business.
Ensure your teams understand the "What's in it for me?", such as reducing the amount of time spent looking for the most up to date document or allowing multiple team members to edit a document at a time.
Benefits for the organization
Cloud made easy with familiar Office tools
Embrace the cloud solutions for your work files and let your employees work with their familiar productivity tools such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Location and time are no longer blockers to finishing your projects and your work files can be accessed anywhere at any time. Use OneDrive for Business to connect, communicate, and collaborate to get work done.
Industry leading enterprise grade cloud solution
OneDrive for Business is an enterprise grade solution that includes security, management, compliance and administrative capabilities. Being part of Office 365, we meet the highest industry regulations (HIPAA, ISO 27001, EU Model Clauses, FISMA) and offer eDiscovery. Use OneDrive for Business and we will continue to innovate to meet the enterprise requirements of your organization to control and manage your valuable files while satisfying the needs of your employees.
Why is this important?
The way we work is changing; business is operating at a faster pace and frequently across time zones and locations. Teams need to be able to meet quickly and take action in the simplest way possible. With Office 365 and the capabilities in Lync, you’re able to stay connected and run meetings from anywhere, anytime and on any device.
Tips to set yourself up for success
Inspire better sharing and collaboration during your online meetings by uploading any relevant files you'll be covering, adding an instant message box so attendees can discuss topics or ask questions without disrupting the meeting, and using the Lync whiteboard for brainstorming ideas that come up.
You can also include a link to a shared OneNote to keep track of meeting minutes and ensure those who have missed the meeting can review the notes in their own time.
Benefits for the organization
Give your teams the best business communications tool
Lync enables better collaboration and meetings that are accessible from virtually anywhere. Everyone can stay connected and can have spontaneous or scheduled meetings to make business decisions quickly.
Safe time and reduce travel cost
With Lync, everyone can remain productive by using online conferencing to attend meetings. Travel costs would reduce as everyone can have meaningful conversations using HD video.
Why is this important?
The pace of business communication has increased due to online technologies, most specifically social networking. As such, Office 365 has evolved to a more social suite. For example, Yammer, an Enterprise Social Network (ESN) helps your organization listen, adapt, and grow in new ways by working like a network.
Tips to set yourself up for success
Easily embed a Yammer feed into other enterprise applications your organization is using, such as an intranet or SharePoint teamsites, so that employees can access and respond to Yammer conversations from whichever platform they're using.
You can also get your executives and leadership teams involved by incorporating Yammer into an all-company meeting or event.
Oftentimes called a "YamJam," employees can submit their questions and comments to a designated Yammer group where executives can then provide responses and updates in real-time.
Benefits for the organization
Listen to the conversations that matter
Connect your organization to boost engagement and surface important information and experts. Yammer users gain 76% more visibility into other departments or locations, and 80% are more informed with what is happening inside their organization.
Grow your business
Drive innovation, get to market faster and deliver experiences that grow customer loyalty with Yammer. Among business leaders of networked organizations, 93% agree that Enterprise Social tools stimulate innovation in their companies.
Adapt and make smarter decisions
Open collaboration is more efficient collaboration. Yammer helps teams quickly adapt to change and work together more productively. 71% of business leaders report that Enterprise Social tools increase the speed of access to knowledge.
