PnP Weekly - Episode 98 - 28th of September 2020

In this weekly discussion of latest news and topics around Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft), Waldek Mastykarz (Rencore), are joined by Vesa Nopanen - principle consultant at Finland-based Sulava and MVP for Office Apps and Services focusing on Microsoft Teams. The group delves into why Teams is a passion for Vesa, as well as into topics like working asynchronously, guiding customers to Teams adoption, how digital transformation has been accelerated by the pandemic, a partner’s responsibility to show value in customers context and more. Additionally, 17 recently released articles from Microsoft and the PnP Community are highlighted - many post Ignite summaries and an announcement on the newest Cloud Developer Advocate for Microsoft 365.

As always, if you need help on an issue, want to share a discovery, or just want to say: “Job well done”, please reach out to Vesa, to Waldek or to your PnP Community.
