Session Abstract

In this intense session I'll show you six ways you can deliver a huge amount of business benefit to almost any organization with a moderate amount of development effort. In a series of quick-fire demos, we'll look at Office Add-ins for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, as well as extensions for SharePoint and Teams. We'll also see how we can use the Microsoft Graph and AI to take the intelligence behind the entire Microsoft 365 platform and deliver it where business users spend their working day. Wouldn't you like to be the hero that lets your users work faster, suffer less information overload, and see their families again?

Note to event organizers

This is essentially the talk I will be delivering at ECS the week prior, but I will adjust the content according to the Thrive audience.
