In fact, the browser—originally developed to accompany the release of Windows 10—is celebrating its fifth birthday. It’s never been easy for Edge. Was 15 January 2020 a turning point for the browser?

Management and administrability are absolutely essential when it comes to the many, diverse Microsoft 365 services. At Microsoft Ignite, a number of exciting new features were announced that would not only simplify administration but also make overall handling easier.

That’s why Microsoft has raised the bar for security in Microsoft 365 solutions and Azure Active Directory, relying on new, AI-driven features introduced at the Ignite conference.

“Microsoft is investing in knowledge” was one of the central messages of Ignite. A look told us exactly what they meant with this. The journey to reproduce your infrastructure in the cloud has many benefits. Financial savings and optimisation of your processes, for example. But the cloud also opens the door to employ new scenarios previously not possible. With increased use of AI in Microsoft 365, it’s even easier to identify and organise “knowledge”. The focus is on deploying the right information at the right time. Productivity does not just depend on handling information more efficiently, but also being able to use it correctly. The second part of my blog is therefore about knowledge.

At Microsoft Ignite in Orlando, the company’s best and brightest met with partners and other interested parties to discuss everything from cloud infrastructure, management and Big Data to the Internet of Things and the Modern Workplace. I’ll be presenting the new developments over four blogs and will explain what they mean for our customers. I’ll kick things off with a huge topic—productivity.
