TMO (Too Many Options) In M365?

Is the confusion of TMO (Too Many Options) in M365 getting to you?
SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Yammer, Outlook... When do we use what for communication? Collaboration?
In this session Joy will break down our Microsoft 365 options and bring clarity on how the M365 tools work better together for collaboration. We'll address leveraging our "Swiss Army Knife" of applications to be better equipped when communicating with the various audiences we interact with day in and day out.

Microsoft 365 Groups - The Force That Binds the Universe (of Apps) Together

Microsoft 365 Groups are at the heart of modern collaboration and security models. Much like the Force binds the universe together, M365 Groups binds our apps. They provide permissions management and a security service that can simplify managing access to users throughout SharePoint, Teams, Planner, and more.

Let's take a closer look at the power of Microsoft 365 Groups and how they can bring together security, collaboration, and communication. We'll learn how to use the Force... Groups to streamline modern work in the context of Microsoft 365 applications such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook, as well as how guest management works within a Group.

Teams In The Architecture

Microsoft Teams is revolutionizing how we collaborate in business. However, many organizations struggle with their Teams implementation due to complexities and misunderstandings of how Teams impacts their Architecture.
This session will cover how we can architect our intranet with Teams in mind, not only to reduce duplication of sites, but to use existing team sites with Microsoft Teams.
We'll also discuss:
• How Microsoft Teams fits into intranet architecture
• Security best practices for Teams (and SharePoint)
• Implications of private and shared channels
• Enhancing teamwork with Teams
• How tabs and connectors help us turn channels into true hubs for teamwork
