Peter Carson's Session

Session: Office 365 Extranets - Unstructured and Structured

Office 365 external sharing is all about publishing or collaborating with people outside of your organization. Users will find ways to do it with or without IT support (typically through email or shadow IT), so it's important for IT to provide an easy way for them to do it effectively and securely.

Sharing can be done in a number of different ways. Unstructured sharing to a small set of external users works well with the OOTB SharePoint features. As the scale increases, structured sharing with a large number of external users needs alternatives such as Azure AD B2B, custom code or third party solutions. We'll discuss options available and what makes sense where using real world examples.

Eric Riz's Session

Session: Time Management for the IT Pro: Teams Edition

Today, time management is an elusive goal that the technical community and IT Pro's specifically long to achieve. The textbook process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities has been overtaken by Microsoft Teams and the rampant opportunities to use it.

We have lost a fundamental capability and it is costing businesses millions annually. This failure to communicate has resulted in thousands of hours lost each week, and we are all to blame, This session is designed to institute best practices for Microsoft Teams communication using time efficiently and effectively by giving each person the capability to make SMART choices on spending and managing activities at their own time and expediency.

Attendees will learn to navigate through Microsoft Teams to streamline communications and become productive again. Using SMART (specific, measurable, action-focused, realistic, time-specific) goals, users can take control and make empowered decisions.
