Ignite is coming. And all sessions are currently fighting an epic battle to convince you that they are the legitimate ones that you need to attend. But how do you choose? Which sessions will you sacrifice? How will you find the dragon egg among them? You definitely don’t want to lose your head over this question – especially not if you’re new to the realm of Ignite and if you know nothing. Unfortunately, not everybody has a Three-Eyed Raven who can show them the way. So let me help you with some suggestions which sessions you should not miss as an Office 365 admin. Warning: spoilers for Ignite sessions follow Effectively manage Office 365 – what’s new in Office 365 administration If you want an overview of what is happening in the world of Office 365 management, this is your session. The demo heavy session will look both at new features and functionality and give a sneak peek into what you can expect to come in the coming months. If you don’t know yet what areas interest you most, this overview session will also be helpful as you can afterwards pick what deep dive sessions you want to attend. Understand how your users are using Office 365 – what’s new in Office 365 usage reporting For many end users, moving to Office 365 is a big change. To help your organization transform digitally, you want your end users to be able to effectively use the various services. Targeted communication and training is the key to that. That’s why usage reporting has become more and more important for Office 365 admins. This session will give you an overview of new usage reports and tools – and yes, we’ll also share news on the highly anticipated usage report about Microsoft Teams and the reporting role. Manage an evergreen service: Office 365 release policies and communication processes In this session, we’ll review the processes and policies that enable the evergreen cloud services to empower IT to further business goals rather than manage servers. Plus, we’ll unveil updates to the Message Center, clarify communication policies, and announce future capabilities. Manage SharePoint using the new Sharepoint Admin Center All SharePoint admins who live and breathe in the SharePoint admin center, know that administrating OneDrive and SharePoint Online is not a trivial task. At Ignite, we’re introducing a new SharePoint Online Admin Center that simplifies tasks like site management, settings control, and more. This session – presented by the Zohar Raz, the mastermind behind the new SharePoint admin center – is definitely a must attend for all SharePoint and OneDrive admins. Embrace Office 365 Groups: Overview and roadmap Office 365 groups is the secret source that powers modern teamwork scenarios across the suite. See how we're making it easier for admins to manage each of these services with groups and enable their employees to connect in a seamless environment. Ensure productivity for your employees and customers with disabilities with Office 365 accessibility At Microsoft, we’re passionate about designing products for all needs and abilities. In this session, IT Admins can learn how to setup Office 365 to ensure productivity for people of all abilities – including people with temporary conditions such as hand or eye strains and people with situational requirements such as working without a mouse or monitor on the go. Talk to the people behind the product – not a session, but the “Office 365 administration” booth is definitely a must “attend” in my eyes. Here, you cannot only meet the people behind the products, but you can also get your questions answered and share feedback directly with the teams that own and build the respective feature. Meet the community – Ignite is all about community! I know some folks that come to Ignite not to attend sessions – they watch them later on demand – but only to connect with other people from the community. And I can totally understand why! If you want to connect with likeminded IT Pros – what better place than Ignite where you can meet thousands of them? While I totally recommend to get together with other Office 365 admins at Ignite – especially also over a beer at one of the many parties – I also highly recommend attending the community driven sessions. My favorite are MVP led theatre sessions. Why? Theatre sessions are short – you just need to find 20 minutes – and MVPs combine industry and technology knowledge and share great customer stories and best practices. Here are a few to choose from: Microsoft Office 365 adoption: If you can't measure it, it's not happening, Five cool things you can do with Windows PowerShell on Office 365Solved9.9KViews21likes3CommentsYour Guide to Microsoft Teams @ Ignite 2020
