Microsoft technology news
Microsoft is constantly developing its range of business software to ensure that new technology can be utilised across the customer base to improve the user experience, as well as remaining competitive. However, announcements can be missed or difficult to determine what the changes mean for your organisation.
By tapping into our internal expertise, we will bring you regular news to keep you up to date with any Microsoft licensing and product changes. For example, this could be new agreements for Public Sector Microsoft 365 licensing or new functionality to Teams which will require changes to internal IT and user behaviour.
Our contributors won’t simply inform you what the changes are, but will provide their expert opinions on the updates and make recommendations for you to consider.
