Microsoft Ignite 2019 was a blast for the CloudWay MVPs. Lots of meetings, 28 shifts on the Microsoft 365 booths and 2 community blogs in addition to the 4 theater sessions held by Josh, Mårten and Ståle. CloudWay helped organize the Norwegian gathering with over 350 attendees and Josh was part of organizing CommsvNext and Teams US user group parties.
Questions asked at the Microsoft 365 booths
Helping Microsoft at their booths is an interesting experience and you get to talk to Microsoft Ignite attendees and take the pulse of the event. We asked our MVPs what the most asked question they got at the booths:
- What is the best way to manage the roll-out of private channels in Microsoft Teams?
- Is SCCM dead now and what is this Endpoint Manager?
- How do I start using Endpoint Manager, is there a new URL for the console?
- What about the private channels SharePoint site, where can I find that?
- What is the best practice for Private Channels governance?
- How do I integrate my on-premises PBX with Microsoft Teams?
- How do I bring my Cisco Video endpoints into my Teams meetings?
As you can see, the most asked questions were about news announced at Microsoft Ignite. Use our contact form to reach out for calls or workshops on these topics, as they are top of mind for CloudWay at the moment. Here are some of our MVPs in action at the Microsoft 365 booths.
