Microsoft 365: Where is Office 365 Headed?

I didn’t make Microsoft Build 2018 last year. In hindsight, maybe I should have. Whilst I am not a developer, I do believe that it’s important as someone who uses and works with Microsoft’s services to know how Microsoft is developing those services and empowering its wider development community. The goal of development is, after all, maturation and progress. It’s to do with things such as the direction we are headed, the directions that are open to us and the surmounting of obstacles blocking the direction we want to go.

Microsoft 365: Fundamentals (MS-900) Exam Prep Guide

I’ve always liked and recommended Microsoft Fundamentals exams. Last year, before this new generation was created, I went back to gap fill my Office 365 MCSA with the Cloud, Mobility and Security Fundamental MTA’s (98-367, 368, 369). And even though these new generation MCF’s - like MTA’s - are optional (they don’t count towards the associate workloads) I don’t personally believe in bypassing them. No shortcuts. But Others may disagree. I respect that.

Microsoft 365: The Road to E5

Microsoft 365 E5. I have heard it colloquially referred to as the ‘All In’ SKU, the ‘Nirvana’ SKU - but I have never heard it referred to as an easy SKU to sell or deploy in full; nor one that has generated any great deal of demand when compared to Business and E3. Objections that I have personally encountered since it was released include it’s too difficult to articulate, that it contains too many workloads to deploy in a reasonable timeframe, that customers aren’t looking to engage in that degree of change, that it contains applications that they don’t want or need due to existing solutions (I.e. Hosted PBX) and that it’s too much of a jump in price from Microsoft 365 E3.
