10 things you should do with your Office365 demo or dev tenant

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 21:57:12 +0000

In the last couple of months, I needed to create a few demo or development tenants in Office365. As I don’t want to reinvent the wheel all the time, I created a list that steers me through the process and makes sure I don’t forget an important step. As you probably know, ticking things off a todo list can be a very satisfying activity. So the next time you need to create a development or demo tenant think of this list, copy it to your todo app and enjoy the good vibes while ticking off the boxes of your own 10 things.

Series: Your Intranet as a Business Model - Key Partners

Sun, 09 Sep 2018 23:03:30 +0000

This series of blog posts introduces the idea of structuring your effort to deploy a new intranet based on the experience of startups and entrepreneurs in running their business. We will use the Business Canvas Model approach from Alex Osterwalder (http://alexosterwalder.com/) and try to apply it to our domain. The Business Model Canvas is a strategic management and lean startup template for developing new or documenting existing business models. It is a visual chart with elements describing a firm’s or product’s value proposition, infrastructure, customers, and finances. It assists firms in aligning their activities by illustrating potential trade-offs. If you think of your intranet as a service you provide for all the employees, it’s the in-house equivalent to an external 3rd party service. So why not use the ideas and methods of those services during your deployment? To pass along the train of thought of using the Business Model Canvas have a look at this short introduction video:

SharePoint Saturday Zurich 2018

Sun, 03 Jun 2018 16:52:05 +0000

Last Saturday we (Stephan Bisser and myself) had the pleasure to be part of SharePoint Saturday Zurich. Jussi Mori, Samuel Zürcher and Stefano Tempesta did a great job in organizing once more an epic event packed with the latest and greatest on SharePoint, Office365 and the relating Azure areas. In his keynote, Vesa Juvonen from Microsoft took us on a brief journey through the history of SharePoint. The screenshots from the portal landing pages of version 2007 and 2010 took some of us in the audience way back in time. Somehow later in the day or to be more precise in the evening, some of the speakers realized how long they have been around SharePoint and what conclusion can be drawn out from this fact. Sorry Maarten & Vesa ;) Stephan and I showed our 21st-century lunch bell with a live demo in Zurich. The lunch bell recognizes a special food truck daily at our driveway and notifies our users in Microsoft Teams or Skype for Business. As we use Cognitive Services for our system with pictures of our office back home it’s actually not that easy to demo the system on the go. To still be able to show the features of Azure we decided to make a mobile version. This means during the session we are trying to detect this little food truck: In terms of preparing the demo, we need to take sample pictures in the actual room of the session to train the model. That means instead of lunch break Stephan and I took the opportunity to take around 60 images of the table on the main stage to later on demo the system within the environment. This type of demo is always special and time intensive to prepare, but when the deadline gets closer and closer the fun starts, right? Thanks again to the super hero organizer of the event, you did an awesome job and we are already looking forward to next year!

Kopieren und Verschieben von Dateien in Office365

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 00:07:47 +0000

Vor einigen Wochen hat Microsoft damit begonnen das Feature “File Move in SharePoint and OneDrive” in den Targeted Release Tenants auszurollen. Damit zieht man gleich mit dem schon länger verfügbaren Kopieren von Dateien in OneDrive und SharePoint.Das vollständige Rollout ist in der Roadmap für das 1.Quartal des Kalenderjahres 2018 vorgesehen.

Das spannende an diesem Feature ist die Möglichkeit Dateien nicht nur zwischen verschiedenen Dokumentbibliotheken sondern auch von OneDrive nach SharePoint zu verschieben. Genauer gesagt von OneDrive in Richtung SharePoint Dokumentbibliotheken. Wobei mit Hilfe von Microsoft Graph gleich eine Liste an Vorschlägen angezeigt wird, wenn man auf Verschieben klickt. Dieses Feature ist in vielerlei Hinsicht interessant, den größten Vorteil jedoch, so denke ich, wird es hinsichtlich User Adoption bringen. Nicht selten kämpfen IT Verantwortliche in Office365 Rollout Projekten mit OneDrive als Tool.
