This announcement also included information about a range of commercial devices running Windows 10S starting at around $275. <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.office.com\/en-us\/2017\/09\/25\/all-workers-welcome-with-microsoft-365\/\">More information can be found in the blog post here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn Profile integration \u2013 Following the aquisition of LinkedIn by Microsoft last year, it\u2019s no surprise that we\u2019re starting to see integration between the various Microsoft services. In Office 365 this is taking the form of the new Contact cards, currently rolling out to First Release tenants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfatblog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Modern-workplace-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto; border: 0px;\" title=\"Modern-workplace-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myfatblog.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Modern-workplace-1_thumb.png\" alt=\"Modern-workplace-1\" width=\"586\" height=\"384\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No surprise to anyone who\u2019s been around social media over the last few weeks, Skype for Business is changing with Microsoft Teams providing the main focus for Unified Communications in the cloud. Teams will become the primary client for what Microsoft are dubbing \u201cIntelligent Communications\u201d in Office 365 by building on the existing Voice and Video capabilities with a healthy smattering of Cognitive and Data Services. One of the great demos was meeting recordings, with an intelligent search bar, allowing you to skip to points of the recording where a certain person is talking. (<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.office.com\/en-us\/2017\/09\/25\/a-new-vision-for-intelligent-communications-in-office-365\/\">More info can be found here.)<\/a><\/li>\n<li>The Office 365 Adoption pack is going to hit General availability in early 2018 with a name change. it will be known as \u201cOffice 365 Usage Analytics\u201d. Analytics for Microsoft Teams is also starting to appear, with a new card on the Reporting Dashboard. A full roll-out of this will take place during October. One of the big changes that will affect some of my customers, is the announcement of a new Reports Reader Role that can be assigned in the Office 365 Admin portal. Rolling out this week, this change will remove the need to make the people responsible for adoption and reporting Global or Service Admins just so they can access the analytics information in your tenant. This is a big plus and a one of the key asks from my clients that focus on using least privilege security models. (<a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/Office-365-Blog\/What-s-new-in-Office-365-Usage-Reporting-Ignite-Edition\/bc-p\/110226\">Again more information can be found in this post by Anne Michels.<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>With a big focus on GDPR in the UK and Europe, it\u2019s no surprise that Microsoft are throwing their hand in with some compliance tool announcements at Ignite, in this case with the Compliance Manager preview program. This program seeks to enable organisations to manage their compliance requirements from one place, performing real time risk assessments on cloud services, providing actionable insights to help improve capabilities and simplifying compliance processes with audit ready reporting tools. (<a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/Security-Privacy-and-Compliance\/Manage-Your-Compliance-from-One-Place-Announcing-Compliance\/ba-p\/106493\">More details and the sign-up link for the preview are here.<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Another benefit from the LinkedIn integration is access to a whole load of Office 365 ITPro and Admin training from LinkedIn Training. Links to this will start appearing in the Admin portal soon (or <a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/en-gb\/article\/Office-365-admin-and-IT-pro-courses-68cc9b95-0bdc-491e-a81f-ee70b3ec63c5?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-GB&amp;ad=GB\">by visiting support.office.com<\/a>). All you need is an active Office 365 subscription to use the benefit.<\/li>\n<li>End Users and power users shouldn\u2019t feel left out though, as there\u2019s also a bunch of training now available from the Office 365 Training Centre. These video titles cover everything from the basic of Office 365 to advance topics like templates in the Office client tools.
