Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels: Sensitivity label grouping modernization coming this fall (?)

There is a change coming to Microsoft Purview Information Protection that simplifies sensitivity label architecture. The goal is to make label management easier, more scalable, and less rigid for organizations. The new model will only include standalone labels and sublabels.

CUCM 7

I've just been to a tech-update from Cisco, where they talked about CUCM 7. Though the release itself wasn't very impressing, they have implemented a few new features that will be nice to have. Since this is a pre tech-update, I can't write to much about it, but here are a few key features I found interesting:

  • Better Sip implementation and integration
  • Line state possibilities for alerting status

The tech-update also provided us with information on where the presence functionality is going, which new phone models they have in production, other unified communication products and the announcement of EOL products. If you're interested, you should attend Cisco's official tech-update track near you.
