Many businesses have come to rely on Microsoft Teams for remote collaboration, whether for small daily catch-ups or larger company-wide virtual meetings. If you are looking to run more effective online sessions, there are a few practical tips you can apply right away.
There are partnerships—and then there are strategic power moves that make you pause and think: “Okay, this is going to shake things up.” One of those just happened again: SAP and Microsoft are leveling up their cloud alliance. And as your local Microsoft Cloud nerd-in-residence, I’m here to break down why that matters, what’s new, and where we’re headed next.
Sometimes Microsoft ships a feature that makes you go, “Wait, didn’t SharePoint already do this?” And the answer is: yes, but not like this.
Let me introduce you to a new friend in your Microsoft 365 toolbox: Microsoft Lists. And the good news? It’s finally landed in Germany. 🎉
2020 has been a wild ride so far. And for many of us, Microsoft Teams has become the digital home base, whether we were ready for it or not. Overnight, virtual collaboration turned from “nice-to-have” to “absolutely essential,” thanks to a certain virus that needs no further introduction. 🦠
Sometimes it starts with a name. And sometimes… a name change unleashes confusion, support tickets, and endless “Wait—what exactly do I have now?” questions.
April 21st, 2020 marks such a moment in Microsoft Cloud history:
All Office 365 Business plans officially become Microsoft 365.
Let’s be honest: Microsoft has a long tradition of renaming things just when you’ve finally remembered what they were called. But this time, the rebranding from Office 365 Personal/Home to Microsoft 365 Single/Family isn’t just about slapping on a new label—it’s a whole new era of personal productivity.
When the world stopped spinning the usual way in early this year, the way we worked changed overnight. Suddenly, millions of people found themselves telecommuting, Zooming, Teaming, and turning their living rooms into makeshift workspaces. What felt temporary at first, quickly turned into the new normal and with it came both opportunities and chaos.
In today’s collaborative work environment, Microsoft Teams has become a central hub for communication and teamwork across many organizations. Meanwhile, Dynamics 365 CRM stands out as a key platform for managing customer relationships, sales pipelines, and support processes. The recent wave 2 release from Microsoft offers expanded integration between these two systems, enabling staff to unify their daily conversations and CRM data in a more seamless way.
When two giants of the enterprise software world shake hands, it’s worth paying attention. On October 21, 2019, SAP and Microsoft signed a three-year strategic partnership agreement, aiming to help their joint enterprise customers modernize and migrate their business processes into the cloud.
Back in the good old Skype for Business days, we had a handy little feature: the secondary ringer. You could set your PC speakers to chime even if your headset was plugged in, giving you the freedom to roam without missing a ping. When Microsoft Teams took over, that feature went missing for a while—but now it’s back, and better than ever.
If you’ve ever wished your hands could stay busy while your brain got expert help from miles away—good news! Microsoft is delivering exactly that, and it’s called Dynamics 365 Remote Assist. Powered by Microsoft Teams and enhanced by the magic of Mixed Reality, it’s reshaping how frontline workers—technicians, engineers, and support staff—get the job done.
