Today more and more of us work in teams,
and more often then not,
the people that we work with may be remote
and spread across different geographies.
Think of Microsoft 365 as a universal
tool kit to enable teamwork.
Starting with tools built for teamwork
using apps designed for easy file sharing
and co-authoring experiences.
How we're making it easier for you to
collectively get work done in teams,
based on your work and communication preferences.
Spanning modern e-mail, calendar,
and a connected chat-based workspace
supporting calls, shared content, and online meetings.
Then there are the tools to make your team's work
broadly discoverable by your internet
and engage across teams in the organization
via Enterprise Social.
So, we give you a broad tool kit,
and these are all connected with a shared foundation
of built-in security and compliance controls,
discovery and intelligence via the Microsoft Graph,
and Office 365 Groups with an Azure Active Directory.
In the next few minutes, I'll cover the essentials
for how we make this possible in Microsoft 365.
We'll start in the Office 365 Pro Plus desktop apps,
and I have Word open in this case.
Here you can see I'm signed into Office 365
with all of my files linked on the left, here,
from OneDrive and SharePoint.
Now, these services are the foundation
for enterprise content management
and saving to OneDrive and SharePoint
enables the entire team to work
on the same file, at the same time.
In this case, I'm gonna go ahead and open a doc,
and you can see up here in the upper right corner,
there's a share button there and all of the office apps.
In this case, I'm gonna share with my group,
in this case the online marketing group,
and doing that will give everybody in that group
permissions to be able to edit the document.
Now, as I scroll down and start to view the document itself,
we'll see that inside the doc are a couple of co-authors.
We've got both Adele and Nester on my team
already in the doc and able to edit.
Now, let's switch to Outlook,
and here, you can see that I'm in my group inbox.
I can see a cloud attachment in the bottom
right-hand corner, and that keeps everything central
as a single source of truth.
It's also more secure, unlike normal attachments,
they can't be simply forwarded on
and when I cloud attach a file,
every recipient is automatically given access.
I can also see likes and @ mentions,
these are really great because as you type an @,
it automatically searches for context
and adds them to the 'to' line.
Now, the other thing that you're going to see here
is a shared calendar.
This allows me to stay up to date
with all of our team events,
and we can also link to our shared files and SharePoint,
and even a shared OneNote.
Microsoft Teams then provides a chat-based workspace
that brings together all of the things that you work with
on a continual basis, with your teams.
Now here, you can see all the teams
and you can see all the corresponding channels
of grouped conversations underneath each team.
As I go, and I can see all the different tabs
that I have inside of my team here,
I can see all the files stored in SharePoint,
I can see also Power BI, or my group plan.
I'm just gonna go ahead and go back
into my conversations view, because in this case,
I wanna attach a file and show how
that uses SharePoint in the back end.
I'm gonna go ahead and attach this power point,
and when we go into the files tab, we'll see that
that file is available for me to get to later.
I can even go under the file and view it,
or I can edit it all within the context of teams.
This also will enable me to be able to
co-author on the file with my team.
Now, let me show you a couple of other things here,
I can look at calls, in this case,
I can even use PSTN integration
to be able to do voice and video calling.
I can see all of my meetings here in one place
and join those meetings right directly from within Teams.
So, Teams really becomes the integrated hub for teamwork.
Now, beyond day-to-day work with the people
that you spend the most time with,
SharePoint communication sites enamor, or support,
collaboration company-wide, cross-group,
and cross-department.
In this case here, I'm at a SharePoint communication site
and you can see all of the events
that I have linked to it, all the files.
I'm gonna go onto a page, the program overview,
and here we can see how easy it is to edit this page.
Go ahead and click edit.
Now, all of these sites are composed of different web parts,
and I'm gonna go ahead and open up a web part
and show how that's built.
In this case, I've got a list of things
that I can add to the page.
You can see the different components I can do,
there, I'll expand that out.
You can see, beyond text and images,
we can do things like maps,
we can do Microsoft Forms, Twitter,
We can even do Power BI within the site itself.
As I scroll down, I can see the rest of this page,
with maps and other rich content,
and here's a Yammer conversation that's embedded
directly in my SharePoint communications site.
Now, if I open this directly in Yammer,
you'll see that this is a really great place
to communicate across my organization
and crowd-source ideas and gather feedback.
So, those were user experiences and core technologies
supporting teamwork and Microsoft 365,
but let's switch gears and cover what you,
as IT admins need to do
to be able to enable these capabilities.
Now, we'll start with planning
and use the IT roadmap for Microsoft 365
to assess which services you have configured
and the current tools and preferences that your users have
for teamwork and collaboration.
Now, to do this, we'll click on the different services
that correspond with teamwork and collab,
meaning communication, meeting services,
group collab, and internet and search.
Now here, you can see a continuum of four levels.
I'm gonna click on group collaboration services
and then into the teamwork tab.
Here we can see a continuum of the four levels
of how we can implement teamwork services,
and that's going to then let us select
our future level that we want to get to.
By doing that, we can see all the different things
that we need to work on
to be able to implement those services.
We'll then build a tailored and detailed
IT roadmap action plan for moving from what you have,
to your future state.
Now, moving to the Azure Portal,
remember that Azure Active Directory and groups
is really at the core of these teamwork experiences.
So, you're gonna want to start getting
Azure AD running, if it isn't already.
Consideration for groups and groups management
are core to the administration tasks for teamwork.
Moving into the Office 365 admin portal,
the Office 365 Pro Plus apps can be deployed
using your software distribution tools,
like system center configuration manager.
For your Windows 10 devices, you can use Azure AD join,
so that your PCs are capable of single sign-on
into your manage Microsoft 365 services,
even if they're not joined to your on-prem AD domain.
Now, back in the Office 365 portal,
you also have a number of options to configure
the settings for Microsoft Teams.
This includes options to tailor and lock down experiences,
such as how external guests contributors
work within your teams.
Here's an early look at what's coming
for Teams administration, including options
for integrated voice and telephony management.
SharePoint has a new admin center experience
to manage your sites and site collections,
security, and compliance controls.
OneDrive administration lets you configure
sharing controls and policy
as for internal and external users.
In Yammer, you might want to manage who can use Yammer.
For example, you may want to enforce
Azure AD identities and that those are used.
So, moving onto security and compliance,
the security and compliance center in Office 365
is a central place to configure shared information
protection policies,
like data loss prevention as well as governance
and compliance controls for your files.
Finally, you'll want to use Microsoft 365's usage report
and Power BI content pack
for usage analytics, to track down
how your users are leveraging tools for teamwork.
So, that was an overview of the teamwork experiences
and corresponding admin considerations with Microsoft 365.
To learn more, you can explore deeper learning experiences
and get help and guidance in our hands-on labs,
both online and the links shown,
or onsite at our Tech Summits.

Just about every tool and process I've shown here,
was explained in depth on a recent show or demo batch.
