Microsoft MVP & MCT

Approvals and Updates are two apps in Microsoft Teams you can use to customize and standardize routine business processes for your team.

For example, you might customize a project request template only your team can use. Or maybe you want to create a travel approval template the whole organization can use. And with Updates, you can automate regular requests to gather project status updates, performance reviews, and more.

In one hour, you'll learn how these two built-in Teams tools can boost your team's consistency and efficiency.

Securing Your Remote Workforce Through Azure Virtual Desktop

Hybrid workplaces are here to stay, and organizations are faced with new challenges surrounding securing their remote workforce. Businesses are invested in pivoting to a cloud-first approach, but how can you properly secure your environment when the workforce is dispersed, using their own devices, and connecting from unknown networks? Microsoft’s Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) allows organizations to quickly deploy managed workstations for a modern and flexible remote workforce. AVD enables organizations to control the workspace of its employees even in a BYOD environment; the organization controls the virtual desktop and employees can remain responsible for their own devices. This separation allows for a lower administrative overhead, a more secure environment, and a highly scalable solution for organizational growth. This session will focus on how your organization can leverage AVD to empower your remote workforce while maintaining control of your data and securing your cloud infrastructure.

Building Business Processes that Can & Will Evolve: Product-Neutral Principles

Mike Fitzmaurice

Mike Fitzmaurice

Vice President of North America at WEBCON

Far more than data management apps, workflow solutions need to factor in the need for frequent change. You should expect even the best-designed models and applications to be regularly modified -- and that's a good thing.

This has an impact on how to design processes, how to create forms and reports, how to connect to external data, and how to maintain internal data.

This session will talk about reasons why workflow solutions need to be modified so often, why you should embrace this, and strategies and tactics for addressing it.

Its advice can be applied to Microsoft Power Automate (Flow), SharePoint Designer, WEBCON BPS, FireStart, Nintex, K2, or most anything else.

Microsoft Teams is a powerful collaborative platform with a web of interconnecting components for everyday work life. To some, the interconnections might be obvious and a part of our daily practice to get the most out of the application suite. But to some of us, the "intuitive" nature of the platform is more allusive.

This session we will take a look at how to efficiently navigate Microsoft Teams to get the most out of meetings and daily communication.
