Microsoft 365 PnP Weekly - Episode 134 – 13th of September 2021
Tuesday Sep 14, 2021
Tuesday Sep 14, 2021
In this installment of the weekly discussion revolving around the latest news and topics on Microsoft 365, hosts – Vesa Juvonen (Microsoft) | @vesajuvonen, Waldek Mastykarz (Microsoft) | @waldekm are joined by Boston-based MVP and founder of Sympraxis Consulting - Marc D Anderson | @sympmarc.
Topics discussed in this session include: hearing about how Sympraxis is focused on helping organizations function at higher levels. Differences in expectations between IT and non-IT customers. Non-IT is more interested in creating solutions people want to use and appreciate. This is due in part to customers who use many great consumer technologies and they expect the same in their workplace. Solution implementation options for architects have grown immensely. On a continuum of Code – Middle Area – No code, the activity for consulting firms today are greatest in the middle area. User and IT education remains as important as ever. And finally, a discussion positioning Intranet and collaboration tools in organizations today - it's the tools for how we get work done that are rapidly evolving in the most interesting ways today.
Covering also 13 articles by Microsoft and the community from last week.
