“How do we operate as a multi-tenant environment while, from Microsoft’s perspective, on a single tenant? CoreView brought all of that to the table with the V-tenant capabilities. We can slice and dice administration into functional areas. We can have user managers, Teams managers, Teams administrators, or security administrators. All of those functions and feature sets are critical to the solution we have today”
Build Your First Mobile App in 1 hour with Windows App StudioNick Landry
Microsoft App Studio is an innovative new tool to design and build a starter app for Windows Phone and Windows Store without writing any code.
Whether you’re a mobile development neophyte or a savvy developer filled with great ideas but not enough time to prototype them, App Studio can help you get started by building the core of your application using multiple page templates and data sources, such as RSS feeds, YouTube videos, Flickr photos, HTML content, custom collections and more.
In this session, we’ll build a live & working mobile app for both Windows Phone and Windows Store on the fly, exploring the various options of App Studio. We’ll then generate the source code and dive into Visual Studio to understand the various parts produced by App Studio and how to extend them. We’ll discuss how to add custom features to the starter app, turning our prototype into a real-world app, such as advertising, in-app purchasing and such. Lastly we’ll go over what’s involved to get the app published, how the submission process works, and where to take your app from there. If you still haven’t published any mobile apps, it doesn’t get any easier than with App Studio.
Come learn how to get from “Idea” to “Publish” in just a few hours.
Here are some examples of live published apps I have built with App Studio, all but one created live in front of the audience in one of these sessions:

Microsoft 365 Tenant Administration: Understanding Microsoft 365 Administrati...Joel Oleson
Microsoft 365 M365 Management Made Easy
Do you struggle with administering your Microsoft 365 tenant? Have you ever wished there was an easy way to segment your tenant so you could delegate permissions more granularly to group or site admins?
Microsoft has introduced Administrative Units and they are a great start to creating boundaries within your tenant for user and group administration but are they enough? What about the other Microsoft365 services not covered by Administrative Units?
Microsoft has also announced they’ll be introducing custom roles for Microsoft 365. While currently very limited, they do promise that you’ll be able to get more granular with the permissions you want to assign.
CoreView helps you to easily manage Microsoft 365 by combining multiple Microsoft Admin Centers into a single view so you no longer need to log into multiple admin centers to complete everyday tasks.
With Virtual Tenants (like OUs for Azure AD), you can also segment your tenant by geography, department, or any other AD attribute to limit the admin scope. Virtual Tenants can be applied to any Microsoft 365 object, so they’re not just limited to users and groups.
CoreView also has very granular permissions that allow you to adhere to the least privilege access policy recommended by Microsoft. CoreView permission sets can get as granular as a single attribute without giving the delegated administrator permission to do anything else.
You’ll also see how you can easily delegate the running of PowerShell scripts so once the script is created, anyone with proper CoreView permissions can execute it.
Register now to hear MVP Joel Oleson’s take on Admin Units, and how CoreView can help take them to the next level.
This session will provide a basic overview of Microsoft 365 and will then dive into how to position its benefits for customers. You'll learn how the Microsoft 365 features help resolve many common business challenges today and how you should be speaking with customers about these.

How can Power Apps and Microsoft Flow allow your Power Users to quickly build...BizTalk360
Every organization faces constant pressure to do more with less. While technology is often the key to operating more effectively and efficiently, cost and complexity have often prevented organizations from taking maximum advantage of the potential benefits. The growth of SaaS (software as a service) has lowered barriers – no need to deploy servers or to install and configure complex software systems. Just sign up and go.
Microsoft Flow and Microsoft PowerApps will help these people (normally business users) achieve more.
We know not every business problem can be solved with off-the-shelf solutions. But developing custom solutions has traditionally been too costly and time-consuming for many of the needs teams and departments face, especially those projects that integrate across multiple data sources or require delivery across multiple devices from desktop to mobile. As a result, too many technology needs end up unsolved or under-optimized. We piece together spreadsheets, email chains, SharePoint or/and manual processes to fill in the gaps.
PowerApps and Microsoft Flow are both aimed squarely at these gaps. They give people who best understand their needs and challenges the power to quickly meet them, without the time, complexity and cost of custom software development.
In this session, we will look at these two new offering from Microsoft: PowerApps and Flow. What are they? How can I use it? But special we will walk through and create from scratch some live demos showing how to create Enterprise Mobile Application that easily connects with all your enterprise platforms like Office365, SharePoint Online, Dynamic CRM, on-premise SQL, Social Networks and much more and also how they can automate some common tasks using the new Microsoft Flow.

Cloud Computing for Nonprofits - What's Microsoft Got?George Durham
Are you wondering what the cloud has to offer your organization, and why you should care? Or maybe you’re thinking about how to more seamlessly integrate your cloud with your existing on-premise infrastructure? Or how to take advantage of software donations you may already have from Microsoft while still exploring cloud computing?
Join us to learn more about Microsoft’s vision for Software plus Services, a view that recognizes we can’t always have our mission-critical applications and data dependent on Internet access. See what’s available today and what’s around the corner. From the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) to Azure to Office 2010, Microsoft’s offerings have the potential to enable nonprofit organizations to spend less time and money running their IT infrastructure so they can spend more time delivering on their missions.
We’ll share examples from organizations already using Microsoft’s cloud services and tell you about donations and discount programs for nonprofits. Product demonstrations and overviews will include Microsoft’s Online Services (Exchange Online, Exchange Hosted Services, SharePoint Online, Office Live Meeting, Dynamics CRM Online, Office Communications Online).
The document discusses Microsoft's vision for Software + Services (S+S). It describes how S+S combines software and services, moving beyond traditional client-server models. Services allow for composition, experience, delivery and federation across organizations. The future of computing will be shaped by S+S across personal and business uses. Examples like Xbox Live and Northwind Hosting demonstrate S+S architectures.
