Since the release of Teams in 2017, Office 365 (aka Microsoft 365) has taken the world by storm. Microsoft and Google’s G Suite hold an estimated 98% combined market share in the office suite market.
COVID has forced the hands of many organisations, who have rushed to embrace Teams and Microsoft 365. In many cases implementations were rushed.
What should be done to ensure information is managed compliantly? How can we as information management professionals add value? Can we shove the genie back in the bottle? How can we get the ear of senior management and a seat at the decision-making table?
This event consists of a series of case studies supported by expert presentations and two hour interactive workshops. At the end of the event attendees will:
• Have seen case studies on all options for records and information management in Office 365
• Understand the strategic decisions needing be made and the types of business process improvement they can achieve
• Know the key stakeholders and roles in an O365 project
• Better understand the role of the information management professional in an O365 world
This event targets:
• Senior business decision makers responsible for information strategy
• Information management staff who want to know how their role will change in an O365 world
• Solution and information architects responsible for solution design
• Change and communications managers responsible for training and messaging during an implementation project
• Project managers responsible for managing an O365 implementation project

”The basics – strategy information management planning and architecture for Microsoft 365”
Too often organisations have rushed to implement Microsoft 365 without fully considering the implications or an information architecture.

“Microsoft 365 and AvePoint Cloud Records”
For the last 2 years, Devonport City Council has been on a digital transformation journey. The transformation encompasses movement of core systems to the cloud, transitioning employees to laptops and using Microsoft 365 for collaboration. Devonport City Council implemented AvePoint Cloud Records and Microsoft 365 for records management and migrated 1.2mill TRIM records to SharePoint Online. Jeff will profile Devonport’s use of Microsoft 365 and what they did to make the transition successful.”
