As consultants, we all chase the same dream: a perfect, repeatable, "Golden Configuration" that we can deploy to any client with the push of a button. With Microsoft’s new Unified Tenant Configuration Management (UTCM) APIs, that dream is finally becoming code. Join Dennis and me as we open the hood on the new UTCM capabilities. We won't just read the documentation; we will show you how we built a scalable "Purview Fast Track" engine for our own clients. In this session, we will cover: The Signal vs. The Noise: How to extract tenant data and identify which settings are actually useful for your templates. The Blueprint: A step-by-step guide to building a "Golden" configuration template. The Deployment: Practical strategies for pushing these configs to new (and existing) clients. Real-World Application: Exactly how we automated our Purview deployments to slash onboarding time. Stop clicking through portals and start deploying standard excellence.

"Wake Up Calls": Proactive engagement techniques that turn skeptics into power users. Business case driven: How we use Copilot Studio to build knowledge groups and measure feedback in real-time. The Scorecard: Metrics that matter—going beyond "daily active users" to measure actual efficiency gains.
