Microsoft facilitator

on
Microsoft has been talking about agents for some time, and in the end of 2024 they made some updates to what we called "Copilot in teams meetings" by releasing the application (or agent) called Facilitator. The Facilitator requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license in addition to a Teams license.  So what is new, or what is the difference between "Copilot in teams meetings" and the new Facilitator? They both require transcription turned on, and they both create great summaries. But the Facilitator takes the feature to the next level by generating real-time AI notes and suggesting tasks on the fly in the meeting, as opposed to the previous experience of post meeting summaries.

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
