Slow is the new broken, plan for Teams quality and monitoring with Mårten

With slow being the new broken, is it more important than ever to be on top of performance and quality in all Microsoft 365 services, and Microsoft Teams in particular. If it takes 10 seconds to join a Teams meeting, or if the audio or video is poor something is broken. This leads to frustration, productivity loss and users will turn to other tools to get their job done. Quality is king in the hybrid world, and with great monitoring comes great confidence in quality. We have the tools already available in Microsoft 365 to find and pinpoint the productivity killers, tools like Productivity score, Call quality dashboard and Teams network planner, but they don’t just do the magic out of the box.

In this session MVP Mårten Hellebro will show you how to get the tools to work for you, so that you can find the productivity killers, create awesome reports and be the hero.

Why you need to manage Microsoft Teams sprawl with Nikki

Microsoft Teams has become crucial in supporting remote and hybrid working, allowing users to work, collaborate, and learn from any location and any device. However, for many organizations, the move to Microsoft Teams was in a direct response to the COVID -19 pandemic. Often the result was a tactical rather than a strategic deployment of Teams. This has resulted in an uncontrolled growth of Teams. Leading to unforeseen challenges such as Team sprawl, stale content, duplicate content and general user confusion. This in turn increase the risks of data over exposure and the use of shadow IT by dissatisfied users.

In this session I will look at.
– Why does Teams sprawl occur?
– What are the biggest risks of Teams spawl?
– Why governance needs to extend beyond Teams and the technology?
– How to mitigate the risk of Team sprawl through managing your workload and content lifecycle.

Teams Phone System, understand your choices with Ben

If you want to add telephony to your Teams deployment then on the surface it might seem like a straightforward choice between Calling Plans, Direct Routing or Operator Connect, however the devil can be in the details.

This session will cover what the main differences are between these calling solutions for Teams and how to determine what might fit your requirements. We will also cover at a high level what a Teams voice project might look like and what you should be considering along the way to ensure a successful deployment and end up with happy users.
