If anyone is interested, there's a Windows User Group meet in Birmingham on the 18th October 2017 at 6pm. It's a very mixed environment with different skill sets, but if you make your voice heard and give lots of examples, they will feature on schools.

 

Here's the link if anyone is interested.

I was at the Leeds meet last night and it was one of the better ones and there was a lot of focus on Office365.

 

Windows User Group

If you work in IT or you are interested in how technology is shaping the way we all work, then you are invited to attend an evening of tech talk and networking with fellow IT Pros. The evening will be hosted by Andrew Bettany and Chris Rhodes, both Microsoft MVP's for Windows and Devices.

 

Topics and speakers for the evening are

Take a look at OneDrive for Business

With the sustained adoption of Office 365 over the last few years, it is about time we re-visited some of the integrated online services that Microsoft bundled with most enterprise plans.

In this session, Andrew Bettany, MVP (Windows & Devices for IT) will take a look at OneDrive for Business, what it offers, how you can administer it for your users and how it is happy to co-exist on your Windows 10 device with the consumer version.

With some new OneDrive for Business features being debuted at Microsoft Ignite this session could even deliver a few surprises!

 

Make your devices more secure by taking them out of your infrastructure - are you serious?

Microsoft MVP and Windows User Group co-founder Chris Rhodes puts the case forward for moving device management away from your own infrastructure.

A few years ago this would have sounded crazy (and maybe still does?!) but there is a compelling stack of reasons why your boss may think this is the best idea you’ve had in a long time. Be smart – move your devices to the cloud.
