With the rate of innovation coming from Microsoft these days, many organisations are struggling to understand which tools and capabilities to use, and when to use them. The fact is: different teams work in different ways. Within the modern digital workplace, there are many different “modalities” of collaboration — and the companies that understand and meet the evolving needs of their end users will have a competitive advantage. In this Day 2 keynote ‘Where Form Meets Function: Understanding Collaboration’s Cultural Fit’, Office Server and Services MVPs Christian Buckley from Beezy and Benjamin Niaulin from Sharegate will discuss real-world scenarios and management considerations of the three primary collaboration modalities: document and process-centric (SharePoint), email-centric (Exchange and Groups), and social-centric (Yammer, Skype for Business).

The purpose of this session is to help the audience understand the business drivers for each of these collaboration approaches by showcasing Microsoft’s roadmap around each, and by providing some guidance around the “which tool, when” confusion that many companies are experiencing. With Christian and Ben at the helm, be prepared to be entertained and informed, with takeaways that you can immediately begin to implement within your own company.
