Coming up, let's look at the newly
expanded FastTrack
to help you successfully roll-out Microsoft solutions.
I'll show you how FastTrack helps you to
identify and prioritize your
key scenarios and stakeholders.
Build a customized success plan that you can share with others,
get assistance from our team of FastTrack engineers,
and use pre-built assets to inform and train your users.
If you're not familiar with FastTrack,
it's a service that provides resources and tools
for implementation of Microsoft technologies.
And subject to qualification, expert engineering support.
All with the goal of assisting you with a successful roll-out of Microsoft solutions.
Such as Office 365, Windows, Enterprise Mobility + Security,
Dynamic 365 and more for your organization.
Our service engineers have literally packaged up
their learnings of deploying services at scale
into a comprehensive guided experience
for planning, on-boarding and migration, and user adoption assistance.
These phases are the same, whichever Microsoft solution you choose to adopt.
And in this case, I'm going to walk you through using FastTrack
for an Office 365 implementation.
FastTrack helps you to kick off your roll-out starting by envisioning your goals and outcomes.
Here, we help you to think through important stakeholders
to sponsor a successful roll-out.
And, we also help you to identify and prioritize
key scenarios and Office 365 services that you want to adopt.
Another resource here is "Productivity Library".
What you're seeing here is a listing of business needs
which can be supported by Office 365 technologies.
And I can filter on the left by Roles, Industry, as well as Products.
Let's go ahead and select "Human Resource",
as well as "Manufacturing".
and here I'll take a look at how Office 365
capabilities can help with resolving service and repair issues faster.
When I drill in,
I get a mapping of technologies and videos to help solve business challenges,
along with real-world examples
like we see with Kennametal and how they are using Office 365 to address
resolving service and repair issues.
Now I've just shown you a small portion of the public facing site.
The next step is to create a success plan.
You'll need to sign in using your organization credentials
Once you sign in,
FastTrack enables you to build, store, and share a customized plan
for your organization and access additional assets and support.
By going to your dashboard,
you can select "Create Success Plan",
and complete a few fields.
I already have a plan underway.
So let's go ahead and take a look there.
You'll notice that there are three main sections.
Business case, Service Readiness, and Adoption.
There's a fourth section called "Onboarding".
That can be added by hovering over the gear and selecting "Activate Onboarding".
Let's start with a Business Case section.
You would have already done the prep work to identify your scenarios
which would make it easier to complete this section.
And as a bonus,
some of the subsequent tabs in this section will pre-populate.
You can see here the rest of the core elements
that you'll need to complete to generate a business case.
Next is "Service Readiness".
This helps you identify
your current technical readiness level
and the overall scope of your deployment.
Onboarding then guides you through
documenting your technical environment
and all the configurations you'll need to consider
to guide your implementation later.
This helps whether you use FastTrack engineering services,
Systems Integrators, or if you simply do it yourself.
And to ensure your users are informed and trained,
let's move to "Adoption" section,
Where you can customize your pre-launch,
launch, and post-launch activities.
And here at the end of the Adoption section
you see links to pre-built resources for your scenarios.
That will help you drive adoption.
These assets help you inform, prepare, and train your end users for adoption.
Once you have your plan in place,
and you're ready to get everything up and running.
At this stage, you can access FastTrack engineering help
by clicking "Get Started".
This takes you to the services page where you can see additional support options.
Services vary by Microsoft solutions
and your eligibility.
But if you have 50 or more Office 365 seats,
you can request FastTrack engineering remote support.
Our engineers can walk you through core steps
like Account Provisioning, Directory Services Synchronization. and more.
They'll begin by reviewing your plan
especially the Onboarding section.
So that's the core experience
and will keep adding more high-value services over time
It's worth checking back when you can.
Hopefully this brings you up-to-date on FastTrack service
and how it can help you to successfully roll-out Microsoft solutions
for your organization.
Try it for yourself at FastTrack.Microsoft.com.
And sign in for your authenticated experience.
Thanks for watching.
