Microsoft has announced Copilot enhancements across Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint that improve scheduling, document creation, and presentation building. Here is a summary of some of the features I think can come in handy. Be aware that timelines may change as deployments progress, some of these have already been pushed back a couple of months. All of the following features requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, and will be enabled by default for users with such a license. Automatic rescheduling of 1:1 meetings Automatic rescheduling of flexible 1:1 meetings and personal events in Outlook with Copilot, helping users resolve conflicts with minimal manual effort is coming soon.

Speaking at NICCONF

on
The fifth Nordic Infrastructure Conference (NIC) is just around the corner (February 3-5 in Oslo Spektrum), and I am proud to announce I am listed as one of the speakers this year.
The NIC is probably one of the largest and best Nordic IT events of the year, and it is a perfect place to be to meet up with peers and partners form all over.

I am holding a slightly different type of session on this event. Instead of doing a lvl400 technical session, I’m doing a low level session where I want to focus and highlight on the end-user experience of a unified communication deployment.

If you have deployed a unified communications platform, or are looking at a deployment in the future, this session is for you. I’ll talk about what your goal could be, how to successfully prepare the organization, and give away some few tricks on how to prepare yourself as a user. Read the full session description on the event site.

 I might be speaking as Skype for business MVP, but the lessons lerned in this session can easily be applied to other technologies as well.

Session information: Unified Communications – Unplugged
Track: Server & Client Platform
Time: 04/02/2016, 14:40 - 15:40
Location: Room 3
