New clouds tools open new business opportunities

Office 365 Engage conference and expo (Haarlem, June 19-22) covered most interesting trends in #Office365 – new tools and approaches for teamwork and collaboration, adding extra functions to Microsoft Office365, migration from Google, business intelligence. Slogan of the conference “In case you haven’t realized it, change is the mantra of the cloud” nicely reflects the unique advantage of cloud as a set of constantly evolving technologies and innovations, accumulating the latest changes and providing them to business.

The most interesting presentations were “Microsoft Stream-the Future of Video”, “Migration from Google-Best Practice”, “Expanding PowerApps and Flow with Your Own Code” and “Developing New Functions for Microsoft Teams”. In general, the #Teams and #PowerApps were mentioned more often, looks like this is a growing trend in 2017, the major part of reports was devoted to these topics.

I immediately remembered a case when we visited a client who has already bought Office 365 and did not want any more development or  new services.  So we decided to show Teams features in their already deployed Office 365, just in case something will turn out. An hour later I got a call  "The client is delighted and urgently requires an invoice!!! The subject of invoice doesn’t matter, he wants to use Teams by all his employees and is ready to pay for service to make it done!! "I already forgot when I heard such words!!! Colleagues, partners, competitors and just sympathizers guests! Does anybody else want to look at the features and capabilities of Microsoft Teams ??))))??
