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

on
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. Parent labels will be replaced by label groups, which act as organizational containers. These groups cannot be applied to content and have no actions or scope, but they retain color and priority for visual organization.

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
