- Kieran: afternoon sessions Agenda summary
- It’s these trends and this new culture of work that has motivated us rethink our approach to delivering services for the modern workplace. And that’s Microsoft 365. Microsoft 365 brings together the best of Windows 10, Office 365, and Enterprise Mobility + Security. With Microsoft 365, we are pivoting in significant way to deliver these services as an integrated, complete solution. Microsoft 365 has intelligence built-in whether it’s AI to drive user creativity or to help secure and manage the environment. It represents a fundamental shift in how we design, build, deliver, and support these products.
- This is how things look for a lot of small businesses today. Customers’ IT infrastructure is becoming increasingly fragmented as they attempt to improve workforce productivity and try to work within budget constraints. The irony is that this fragmentation means the customer is spending more money, but you aren’t necessarily making more profit. When customers add new services and solutions to fill the real and perceived gaps in their IT, they are holding onto legacy systems that are ‘good enough.’ These legacy systems take more time to manage, which also impacts your profit margins. Meanwhile, your customers are using many different devices, and whether they know it or not, have a mobile workforce that needs additional security and protection. Studies show 60% of small companies go out of business within six months after a cyber-attack!* It is cumbersome for you to sell and implement a compelling security and business continuity offering because you need to source different best-of-breed solutions outside the Microsoft stack. *[footnote] Source: Small Business Trends, CYBER SECURITY STATISTICS – Numbers Small Businesses Need to Know, Jan. 3, 2017
- We are hearing from the CEOs of our IT reseller and managed services partners about the increasingly complex dynamics that are making the sales cycle harder than it should be. It is harder to establish yourself as THE technology partner who can manage-it-all for your customers when there are so many competing products in the mix, and new competitors are stepping onto the scene every day. Even if you can establish yourself as your customer’s central management vendor, you aren’t necessarily able to make more profit from that account because the infrastructure takes so much time to implement and manage. Yet, until you establish yourself as the trusted advisor, the reality is that the customer will be harder to retain and grow over the long term. So, do you accept reduced margins in favor of becoming that trusted advisor and securing on-going revenue streams? No. This isn’t sustainable. This doesn’t lead to growth.
- Microsoft 365 Business will help you to compete more efficiently, sell more services and retain customers because it brings all of the technology that small business need at a single per-user/per-month price point. Microsoft 365 Business brings together the security and innovation of Windows 10 with the power and familiarity of Office 365 and streamlined management and maintenance capabilities built specifically for small and mid-sized businesses. Microsoft 365 Business is designed to help keep company data secure while ensuring employees are their most productive, in the office or on the go. With productivity apps such as Word and Excel, cloud storage, email and calendaring, and an exceptional chat-based workspace to bring teams together, your customers will be able to achieve more as they create and collaborate with people inside and outside their company in ways that they never dreamed possible. Microsoft 365 Business standardizes your customer’s devices on Windows 10, the most secure Windows ever. Building upon this strong foundation, Microsoft 365 Business adds cloud-based management and servicing which helps ensure that customer devices are properly configured to take advantage of the security innovations in Windows 10 and significantly reduces the businesses risk profile. Microsoft 365 Business also includes mobile application data and device management, even on personal devices. With this functionality, when an employee leaves the organization, or loses their device, for example, you are going to be able to protect your customers’ company data, while reassuring the employee that her pictures and text messages remain private on her personal device. Since Microsoft 365 Business is cloud-delivered and enabled, you can count on automatic updates to keep your customers’ apps and devices current with the latest and greatest security protection and features from Microsoft. Your customers will get to host their data on the same cloud that hosts data from over 85% of Fortune 500 companies. This is all made more efficient for you through the Admin Console. The admin console not only simplifies things on your end, but gives you self-service tools that can create lower delivery costs and increased consulting and managed services margins. This frees up time on your end to invest in new capabilities that expand your business into new market areas.
- We’re hearing from partners like you that you want a way to increase profitability now and in the long term AND you want to create predictable, recurring revenue streams. Doing this requires finding a simple way to scale and standardize, so that your managed services are an easy, natural value addition requiring less time from you. You also want to be able to assure your customers that as their business grows, their infrastructure does not need to become more complicated – they can simply scale up and scale down as business needs change. And you can retain that customer for the long term. Introducing Microsoft 365 Business, a new integrated solution that will help you to compete more efficiently, sell more services and retain customers because it brings all of the technology that small business need.
- We are living in a time of inflection. Digital transformation is the biggest change any of us has seen in our lifetime. By 2018, two-thirds of the Global 2000 CEOs will have digital transformation at the heart of their corporate strategy. Companies invest in technology to optimize operations, transform products, engage customers, and empower employees.
- As companies are going through digital transformation, they are looking for the way to empower people to do their best work. This starts with fostering a culture of work and embracing the trends in the workplace that make work inspiring for everyone.
- While companies are all unique and have their own identities, we are seeing common trends affecting the culture of work and employee’s expectations on what a modern work environment provides. By 2020, Millennials will account for over 50% of workers – they seek more open collaborative workspaces, a greater sense of purpose, and a deeper connection to their company’s mission. People are asking for more touchdown spaces (instead of traditional office) where they can easily interact and work with one another. And they want the option to work remotely, anywhere, at any time. To do this, they need the tools and digital workspaces to communicate, access their data, and stay productive. Employer expectations are changing, too. We’ve seen a shift away from routine tasks to a way of operating that requires all employees to be creative and to think critically. And of course, the security risks have also changed dramatically. On the one side, there’s pressure to have open flow of information to drive productivity and teamwork. And on the other side, it’s as critical as ever to protect your estate because threats today are complex, use advanced social engineering, and target everyone in an organization. We see demand from customers who want to embrace these workplace trends and use technology to empower employees to do their best work
- Microsoft 365 focuses on four key areas. Creativity and teamwork, are about unlocking the potential of every individual, to drive innovation in the organization. And we are focused on creating the lowest TCO environment by integrating for simplicity, and having intelligent security, built-in.
- As we think about empowering employees, it’s our goal to provide tools to help you unlock the creativity and ingenuity of everyone in the organization – whether in finance, analytics, sales, engineering, or IT. We have a broad and deep set of offerings, and we’re making several big bets across them. The first is on Artificial Intelligence. We are focusing our AI and ML efforts to make it easier for people to create high impact content, to automate routine tasks, and to surface key insights from data. With AI and the Microsoft Graph, we’re making it easier for users to search and discover people and content in highly personalized ways. We’re also betting on new user interfaces. We’re expanding capabilities in inking and voice, new gestures, and 3D content. We’re also investing in data visualization capabilities to help people analyze information and gain new perspectives – whether that’s through new features in Excel or Power BI, or through immersive experiences like Mixed Reality. And, we’re fully committed to Microsoft being available on any device, across all platforms. Of course, we’re highly focused on the Windows platform, where the benefits of vertical integration allow us to differentiate in unique ways across the hardware, operating system, and application layers. But we’re also deeply committed to delivering first class Microsoft 365 experiences on Apple and Android platforms. And it’s not just about delivering these apps across platforms. Our aim is to make sure no matter what device you’re on, your content, apps, preferences, and services roam with you, so you can get your work done anywhere. And while this is true across devices, including the strong portfolio of 3rd party devices, these experiences shine best when running on Surface because it’s been designed with our apps and services in mind. The best way to really convey what we’re doing here is to show you, so I’d like to welcome Shilpa Ranganathan to the stage to give you a demo of many of these concepts.
- Next, let us talk about how we we’re enabling capabilities to help people work together. We think about Teamwork as different from collaboration. A lot of people can collaborate on something and get nothing done. But with teamwork, there’s an expectation of an outcome, a shared purpose, and a sense of accountability to make progress together. The nature of teamwork is also incredibly diverse. Teams and projects come in all different shapes and sizes. Teams can have two people or two hundred. Projects can last for two days or two years. Team members can be local or spread across the globe, and include vendors and external contractors along with full time employees. So, with Microsoft 365, we offer a universal toolkit for teamwork, giving people the right tools for the right task. Often, people – you – ask, can’t there be just one tool for everything – of course that would be nice, but it’s not realistic to address the diverse needs of teams and projects. That’s why we have purpose-driven solutions to tackle each of these experiences. There’s an app for email, messaging, meetings, a place for document sharing, and tools for communicating across the organization, like a town hall. But they aren’t siloed experiences. With the Microsoft Graph and Office 365 groups, we bring these together with shared identity membership and common services, so people can work naturally across them. Core to our strategy is Microsoft Teams, which we launched last March. We view Microsoft Teams as the digital hub for teamwork. It’s not designed to be the only place you ever go or work. Instead, it’s the starting point and place for people to work together and stay connected. Teams is unique in the sense that it brings together conversations, meetings, files, and apps into a single canvas. It’s customizable, making it easier to gather information and streamline tasks from right within your workflow with over 150 apps, bots, and services, including ones from Kayak, Trello, and Adobe. And with our open developer platform, you can build custom integrations to connect new or existing business processes. Related to Teams, I want to share some news on our communications roadmap for voice, video, and meetings. We believe communications sits at the heart of teamwork. And our vision is to deliver smarter calling and meeting experiences for our customers. For example, making sure you’re prepared for the conversation and that you automatically receive any follow-ups. And the way we do that is by integrating AI and cognitive services, like translation and speech recognition to improve the entire experience. As a part of this new intelligent communications strategy, we’re making 2 important announcements: First, we’ve built a new, modern Skype infrastructure to deliver higher-quality, enterprise-grade voice, video, and meetings experiences. It’s already powering communication experiences in Teams and is evolving rapidly. Second, for our Office 365 customers, Microsoft Teams will evolve as the core communications client. We will make Microsoft Teams the hero experience for all voice, video, and meetings. Over time, Teams will replace the current Skype for Business client. And while we’re very excited about the future of Teams, I want to be clear that we still plan to fully support Skype for Business.
- Not only does Microsoft 365 deliver a rich admin experience, it also transforms the way you manage your entire productivity infrastructure. You can quickly access common management tasks, search across settings, and get contextual help. We’re also making it easier to manage device updates by aligning Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus on a regular cadence each Spring and Fall, and enhancing Microsoft Intune’s ability to manage Windows 10 devices running Office 365 ProPlus. While new devices historically have been tough to set up, with Windows Autopilot, a new device can be shipped directly to the user who answers a few simple questions and then the device is automatically configured, with email, files, and apps deployed, and IT security policies enforced. What used to take days now takes just minutes. This exciting new capability will ship with new Surface devices and Windows 10 Pro PCs from Lenovo and HP in early 2018, and new devices from Fujitsu, Toshiba and Panasonic later in the year. You frequently tell us that you’d like more insights to help manage your estate more effectively, so we’ve infused intelligence and analytics into the Microsoft 365 management experience. For example, Windows Analytics gives you a data-driven way to segment your device estate and target users for upgrades. You can discover commonly used Office add-ins, and evaluate compatibility with new tools, including assessments and ongoing monitoring. You can even pinpoint device health issues that could affect a user’s experience, before they notice, while also identifying steps to resolve those issues proactively. We’re also introducing Office 365 Usage Analytics which combines the intelligence of our usage reports with the interactive analysis capabilities of Power BI, providing a wealth of usage and adoption insights. With this information, you can benchmark yourself, set business metrics, and even drive send user notifications. Moving to the cloud has many compelling benefits, but we know that businesses need to be able to make this move on their own terms. We continue to invest in on-prem and hybrid capabilities. And once you are in the cloud, we offer multiple options to fit your needs, like our worldwide multi-tenant cloud, data residency in 12 different datacenter regions, purpose-built solutions for US Government customers, and support for key industry standards. Many of you use System Center Configuration Manager today – in fact, there’s over 100M devices under management – and we’ve heard your feedback that you want an easier transition to a cloud environment. Today, we are excited to announce co-management, a new set of capabilities to help you migrate to cloud-based management of Windows 10 devices with Intune. Co-management is a great bridge to reduce risk as you transition from on premises to cloud. We also know that many of you have many Win32 applications that need to be brought forward and modernized for better manageability, security and performance. A great starting point is the Windows Desktop Bridge, which allows you to distribute Win32, Windows Forms or WPF apps efficiently by using a modern Windows App package. We also have app virtualization options to help you run legacy apps that you don’t want to bring forward. And while Microsoft 365 works across all devices, the best way to experience it is with a Microsoft 365 powered device running Windows 10 Enterprise and Office 365 ProPlus, managed with Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security. We support a range of first and third-party options across all price points, including some new entry level devices that I’ll talk about later.
- Finally, let’s talk about what’s on a lot of people’s minds - security. With the sheer size of the threat landscape we face today, it’s impossible for a human to manage across everything; you need the scale of a comprehensive, cloud-based solution. And we’ve built security into all layers of Microsoft 365 to help you protect your people, data, and devices without disrupting user productivity. It’s powered by the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph, which applies cloud intelligence to the billions of threat signals we receive from across our products like Exchange, Windows, and Azure. For example, on a monthly basis, we patch a billion windows devices, scan over 400 billion emails for malware, and handle 450B authentications across our consumer and commercial services. This gives us incredible line of sight into threats on a global scale. We think about our solution across four dimensions, and I’d like to walk through a few of them today: identity and access management First, it’s important to protect at “your front door.” Over 80% of today’s breaches come from stolen or weak passwords*, so it’s critical that you’re taking this first step to protect user identities and secure access to apps and data. Microsoft 365 customers are already using conditional access to secure apps based on criteria such as user identity, location, and device health, all powered by the Intelligent Security Graph. Today, we’re extending this capability to provide additional protection once someone is through the front door. For example, you can now apply controls to sessions within SaaS applications. This means, for example, you can allow access to a cloud storage service, but limit content downloads if the user is coming in from an unmanaged device. We’re also making document access more secure with the option to apply those same controls. So, if it detects risk, it can prompt multi-factor authentication or deny access altogether. Both of these new capabilities will roll out this fall. information protection Second, it’s important to identify, classify, protect, and monitor your critical data, no matter where it lives or travels – across devices, apps, cloud services, and on-premises – to ensure that content is seen only by authorized individuals and doesn’t leak. A key part of our Microsoft 365 vision is to provide a more consistent and integrated classification, labeling and protection approach across our core information protection technologies. One of the first ways we’ve done this is to integrate Azure Information Protection into Office 365 Message Encryption. This makes it possible for end users to encrypt emails and send them to anyone, including those using consumer accounts like Outlook.com and Gmail. compliance/GDPR With the heightened concern over data protection and privacy, we work closely with regulators and customers to ensure that our services are compliant with global, regional, and industry regulations. Microsoft 365 offers advanced compliance functionality to help you adhere to these regulations, including General Data Protection Regulation, also known as GDPR. Microsoft 365 will be ready for May 25, 2018 – the day when GDPR takes effect. And to help you evaluate your own compliance standing in real-time, today we’re announcing Compliance Manager, coming this fall. This new tool gives you compliance score and makes it easier for you to streamline your workflow with automated policy mapping, progress management, and reporting. threat protection –How you protect your organization against threats is critical. In today’s world, no matter how good of a job you do with protecting your users, you must assume you’ve already been breached. Detection and remediation are critical. For detection, we know that phishing is top of mind for many of our customers. This fall, we’re enhancing our anti-phishing capabilities. Additionally, we’re announced a limited preview of a new service called Azure Advanced Threat Protection. Many of you already use our Advanced Threat Analytics to identify anomalous behavior in on prem Active Directory. Today’s announcement brings this to the cloud. Azure ATP can be used together with Windows and Office 365 ATP capabilities to investigate incidents across your environment faster. On the remediation side, we have exciting new capabilities from our recent acquisition of Hexadite, which enables us to automate remediation of security issues. In addition to Defender alerting you to new security issues, it will start to fix them for you. These new automation capabilities are available to Microsoft 365 customers now. We’re doing a lot here - I’ve covered only a few of the latest updates to our security capabilities today. I encourage you to join Julia White’s Security General Session this afternoon at 4pm to hear more. Right now, though, I’d like to bring Brad back up to show you how some of this comes to life.

- Who are you? Differentiate yourself through the culture of your company, employing who fit into the culture of your company so that that attitude comes through in everything you do. People buy from people. Why? What is your reason for being? Knowing your customer is knowing who you are and who you want to be in the market, what customers you’re serving and the whole company is on board with it. Is it still current?
- 1. Your website is always selling. It’s unfortunate that you can’t have your company’s best salesperson in front of a prospect at the exact moment when they’re thinking about buying something from you. Your website is always open and available, though, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. It doesn’t matter what the weather is doing, or if it’s a holiday… your website is always open for business. 2. Your website always delivers the right pitch. The better a salesperson is, the more consistent they are going to be in explaining the benefits of your products or services to other people. Even the very best in the business aren’t perfect, though. Your website, on the other hand, can deliver a perfect pitch every single time (assuming you’ve got good copywriting and visuals to work with). 3. Your website can do things salespeople can’t. It would be hard for a salesperson to move instantaneously into a multimedia pitch, provide references for every fact or study they use in the sales process, or gather together the latest testimonials from happy buyers in a few seconds. Your website can do all of these things for multiple prospects at once without breaking a sweat. 4. Your website can handle more prospects without asking for a raise. Speaking of multiple prospects, one big problem with having a star salesperson is that there is only so much of his or her time and attention to go around. If they get overwhelmed because your marketing is successful, then you have to start recruiting and hiring all over again – a process that can be time-consuming and expensive. Your website actually gets more efficient as people use it more and more. It doesn’t cost you anything extra to have lots of visitors, but you get a lot more in return. 5. Your website is the perfect team player. While live salespeople can (understandably) sometimes be a bit touchy about sharing leads and commissions, your website doesn’t have any hang-ups about being a team player. If you want it to finish a sale on its own, that’s fine; if you’d rather have your website spread information and gather leads before passing them on to a different member of your sales team, that’s fine, too.
