Are you interested in moving to Office 365? This is my presentation from the Tech Coast Conference 2016 in Jacksonville, FL where I talk about what you need to take into consideration when looking to move to Office 365.
In this presentation from the Live!360 conference in Orlando in 2016, I presented on implementing and managing Office 365 and how to get started with Office 365
ActiveMigrate for Legal - It's Time to Move from eDocs, iManage or other Lega...Zia Consulting
For many legal organizations - from AmLaw 250 firms to Fortune 500 Corporate Legal - the "why" is clear. They are tired of expensive, complex legacy ECM systems, where "ECM avoidance" is more prevalent then user adoption. The questions that remain are "where" and "how". Specifically, whether to move to another proprietary legal ECM such as HP, OpenText or others; or whether to move to a cloud sharing technology such as NetDocs or Box.net. And then once the decision is made, "how" to get there.
During this presentation, we outline why Alfresco is the ideal "where" and then discuss the strategy and framework we've developed and termed ActiveMigrate™, greatly reducing the risk of "how" to get there. We will review why you don't have to settle for a choice between costly and complex proprietary systems vs. the security concerns and lack of enterprise functionality that comes from cloud sharing technologies.
Learn how Alfresco delivers:
-Role-Based, Dynamic Matter Management
-Simple Internal/External Collaboration
-Integration from Office/Email to Billing & HR
-Solutions for the "Paper Problem"
-Secure Enterprise Mobile
We will then detail ActiveMigrate - comprised of seven steps, our effective approach is based on 10+ years of migration experience and countless migration projects. These steps will help you define your business drivers, break down your project into critical components, and ensure that you can continue to utilize your documents throughout the migration process.
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them. They are sometimes risky and too often take longer than planned. Over the last 10 years of migrating from SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010 to the latest versions of SharePoint/Office 365 we’ve seen a consistent theme -- organizations underestimate the complexity and level of effort required for a successful, smooth migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this webinar will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
Join Jill Hannemann, Adam Levithan and our special guest Ryan Tully from Metalogix as they:
- Go through the assessment steps to understand the full landscape of your existing SharePoint environment
- Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
- Outline precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online

It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

OFFICE 365- CLOUD OR NOT, YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW IT WILL SHAPE YOUR ORGANISATIO...Waterstons Ltd
There is much debate around the virtues and pitfalls associated with cloud solutions; one thing is clear, if your organisation uses any Microsoft productivity products such as Office, cloud based or not, you should be aware of Office 365. Office 365 has been available since mid-2011 and is currently in its second major iteration; it is very clear that Microsoft sees it as a key offering and this will have wide ranging implications even for organisations that are determined to remain cloud free.
Waterstons specialist consultants will discuss the use of Office 365 and how it relates to Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, Desktops and integration with infrastructure applications. The seminar will cover the advantages, disadvantages, business benefits and potential pitfalls of using Office 365. The team will also explore what the future might look like and how this will have an impact far beyond those companies who have chosen to dip their toe in the 365 cloud…
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?

Practical Tips for Migrating SharePoint Customizations to Office 365Haniel Croitoru
When planning a migration of SharePoint on-premises environment to Office 365, the first thing that comes to mind is organizations often focus mainly on their content - all the documents and items stored across their libraries and lists. Of course, why wouldn't they? It's the reason that they started using SharePoint anyways. But in many cases, the SharePoint environment that has been well adopted and his highly use will include some level of customizations to help meet specific business needs. These may include forms and workflows, scheduled timer jobs, custom look and feel, business logic to interface with other line of business solutions, to name a few.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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).

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.
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!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Business Plans
- These were original the Small Business and Midsize Business Plans. The change to the Business Plans was launched and made available October 1, 2014, however, customers weren’t required to make the switch to the new plans until after October 1, 2015.
These plans are targeted at SMBs with less than 300 users
Enterprise
The enterprise plans are designed to target business with greater than 300 users. However, this is not a requirement. You can still be a company of as few as a single user and still purchase and use any of the Enterprise plans.
Enterprise plans can be combined with Business Plans within the same tenant.
Education
There is just a single education plan. Unless the rest of the options this isn’t a standard Business or Enterprise Plan with different pricing. This is plan designed specifically to accommodating the education sector although it is pretty comparable to an Enterprise E1 plan.
Includes:
Custom Staff and Class Notebooks for OneNote
Government
- Unlike education, this category of plans doesn’t have anything unique in terms of feature set from Business or Enterprise Plans. In fact, if you look at the plans, they are actually Business or Enterprise plans bundled under this new category. However, they do have a few unique features:
Pricing, there is reduced pricing from the normal business plans
Compliance, the way the government Office 365 tenants are hosted, they have passed additional compliance and certifications process to make them comply with government restrictions when storing data.
Nonprofit
As with government, there is nothing inherently unique about Nonprofit plans. The only difference here is that Microsoft offers discounted pricing to nonprofit organizations
Home
- The last category of Office 365 plans is home. I did want to mention them here, although this will be the only time you hear about them in this course. Microsoft does offer 2, Office 365 Home plans. However, the feature sets and use cases for these plans are significantly different that the business plans and this course does not apply to those home subscriptions.
You have the ability to mix Business and Enterprise plans within the same tenant. However, you can have no more than 300 Business users in a plan in a single tenant.
You can have 300 users on Business Essentials, 300 users on Business and 300 users on Business Premium all within the same tenant
The Education plan is the most unique in that there is only a single plan within the category with a unique features set.
U.S. Government and Nonprofit plans primarily just take a subset of Business and Enterprise plans and modify the pricing as well as, in some cases, put them in special designed data center to meet specific requirements.
CRM - The various CRM components are stand along plans/products that exist along side your existing plans.
CRM
Marketing
Social
Parature
Other Plans – Other plans are plans that can be purchased to sit along side your other plans. These aren’t tied directly to another plan, but rather are stand alone license that can be assigned to and moved around between individuals.
Exchange
SharePoint
Skype for Business
Project
Azure Rights Management Premium
Azure Active Directory Premium
Power BI
OneDrive for Business
Yammer
Visio
Enterprise Mobility Suite
Microsoft Intune
Add-Ons – Add-ons are tied directly to an existing plan. You can’t purchase an Add-On with having a plan to attach it to. Once this is attached to a plan, it can’t be transitioned to another plan or individual. It is permanently attached to plan it was added on to at the time of purchase.
Skype for Business PSTN Calling
Skype for Business PSTN Conferencing
Skype for Business PSTN International Calling
Skype for Business Cloud PBX

Advanced eDiscovery
Exchange Online Archiving
Exchange Online Advanced Threat Protection
Extra SharePoint Storage Space
There are two options you can use when getting started with Office 365. You can either start with a free trial (30 day trial) or you can purchase on of the Business or Enterprise Plans. If you are looking to get an Educational, Government or Non-Profit plan, you must start with a trial. Once you have validated your organization you can convert that trial to a full license without loosing any data.
For Business and Enterprise Trials you can choose any of the three Business Plans; Essentials, Business or Premium. For the Enterprise plans you can choose either an E3 or and E5.
The prerequisites for a plan are minimal, an email address (you can use the same email address for multiple trials) and a domain name that hasn’t been used previously. Again, it doesn’t have to be a domain you own as you can create a trial just using username@domain.onmicorosoft.com. It’s only if you want username@domain.com that you’ll have to actually purchase the domain name. You can always start your tenant with domain.onmicrosoft.com as well and add your own customer domain later.
Hosting all your services in the cloud, SharePoint, Exchange, Skype for Business, Office Deployments, etc. bring about an entirely new set of challenges when ensuring your users can perform their daily duties. Instead of just being able to connect to local servers within your organization, they now need constant connectivity to the Internet and to Microsoft’s Cloud.
Proxy Servers, Firewalls, Bandwidth Usage, Internet Connectivity and the Desktop Setup Deployment are all key aspects in making sure you users have the optimal Office 365 and can connect to all the services offered. While Proxy Servers, Firewalls and Bandwidth usage can all be configured and “tweaked” to help achieve maximum performance, you still need to insure that your Internet connection is fast enough and reliable enough to handle the peak load that may occur once everyone is connect to Office 365.
Due to the high importance of each of these topics, Microsoft has published extensive articles and white papers on how to best achieve the high quality experience for your end users and how you can configure your network in such a way to insure you get the highest performance when connecting to Office 365.
SharePoint DNS is hosted by Microsoft, you can’t change the URL of SharePoint to anything other than [tenant].sharepoint.com
Before a user can login to Office 365 they must have two things:
A user account
A license assigned to their account
The user account can either be a user account that was created within the Office 365 environment or a user that was synced up to Office 365 from your on premises AD server. However, regardless of how the user was added to your Office 365 environment, once there user account is in your tenant, you must assign a license to that account. This can either be plan license (such as E1, E5, etc) or just a single service license (such as Exchange Plan 1 or Skype for Business Plan 2). Based on the license assigned to the user will dictate what service they can log into and use.
This is slightly different from the typical on premises licensing where you can add a user to AD and they can access your on premises services immediately and your are responsible for “truing up” with Microsoft for number of users leveraging on-premises services.
All user management in Office 365 can be done within the “Active Users” section in the Office 365 Admin Portal.
Clicking on the Add subscription will take you to the purchasing page. Here you’ll have 5 categories of services to purchase:
Enterprise Suite: This is your E1, E3, E5 plans
Small Business Suite: This is Business, Business Essentials, Business Premium
Dynamics CRM Suite: The name pretty much tells you, these are all your various CRM options
Other plans: This includes plans such as stand alone Exchange, SharePoint, Skype for Business, Project, Azure AD, Power BI, OneDrive, Yammer, Visio and Mobile Device Management
Add-on subscriptions: PSTN Calling, Extra Storage, Exchange Archiving, and other plans that can’t stand alone, but must be used in conjunction with one of the first 4 categories of plans.
Also, as you scroll through the plans, you will see plans you have already purchased marked as such (seen in the middle screen shot) as well as all the other plans available for purchase. As you look through the available subscriptions and hover over the ellipses at the bottom of each plan you’ll see the two different options shown above for plans you’ve already purchased vs. brand new plans.
Purchased Plans
Switch plans allows you the ability to switch from an E1 to say an E3. It essentially cancels your current plan, creates a new plan and make sure all your information get’s associated with the new plan
Change licenses quantity is what you want if you need more (or less) licenses of the specific plan. It will all you to set the total quantity of licenses you need and adjust your monthly bill accordingly.
View Bill allows you to view current and past bills. If you go back too far you can’t view the bill in the browser, but are given an option to download a PDF of the bill. In my case I was able to go all the way back to when I signed up for my first subscription in 2011.
Edit payment method gives you the option to switched to an existing credit card that you have on file or add a new credit card
More subscription payment tasks actually takes you back to the original billing page within your tenant that you started at.
New Plans
For new plans you have the option to either buy the plan or learn more.
Buy now we’ll cover in the next slide
Learn more takes you to the plan site on Microsoft’s website so you can learn more about what’s included in the plan as well as access FAQs and comparison charts.
Monthly vs. Yearly
Pay monthly or Pay for the year: This is purely for budgeting and how you like to pay for things. There is now cost benefit or saving to choosing one options versus the other. If you choose to pay for the year the price will simple by the cost/month x 12.
There are some price breaks based on quantity purchases. Cost goes down $0.60/user at: 250, 2500, 6000, 15000
Add Ons
To purchase an add-on for a license, you can either purchase it in the Add-On Section at the bottom of the ”Add subscription page” or you can purchase the with the Buy add-on’s link under a specific subscription.
Add-Ons can’t be purchased/added on to a trial tenant
If you choose to buy add-ons from the second link, only add-ons will be show on the purchasing page.
One important thing to note is that an add-on is associated with a specific subscription. When you proceed to purchase the add-on, you’ll be asked to select a base subscription for the add-on you are purchasing. There isn’t a way to to transfer an add-on from one subscription to the next. If you wish to do this, you must purchase the add-on for the subscription you want to transfer to and then cancel the add-on from the subscription you want to transfer from.
