MCSCUG Meetup (Modern Workplace)

19:00-19:30 - Kevin McDonnell - M365 Solution Architect (CPS)

Microsoft Search - the what, the why and the how!

Heard about Microsoft Search but not quite sure where it fits in?
Unsure how you can use the search on your own pages? Wondering if
you can bring in other content? Let me guide you through what can
done now and what is coming soon, balancing the different types of search.

Covering how Microsoft Search and SharePoint Search live harmoniously together (if treated right), this session will show all the benefits of having all your search in one place can give that feeling of consistency to end users and demonstrate that you don't have to lose functionality to do it.

19:30-20:00 - Derrick Lakin-Smith - M365 Content & Collaboration Platform Lead (Agilisys)

The Connected Employee
My connected employee talks explores the relationship between me (Identity), us (Team) and them (Organisation) through a modern work lens.

At a high level the outline is: Who am I? M365 is all about you, until it’s not. Understand where you fit in the context of you, colleagues, teams and the wider organisation.

• The external watercooler: How do we reach out to people we do not know?
• Where has the serendipity gone, and how do we recreate it?
• Who are we?
• What makes us a team, and how can we be more productive, cohesive and engaged?
• Why are we here?

Push past the boundaries of your close knit team and explore the wider organisation, purpose and connection. Time...... How to maintain active connections without burning out. Meeting management, personal productivity and activity management.

20:00-20:30 - Tom Morgan - Product Innovation Architect (Modality Systems)

Building applications around Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams has become a platform for modern day working. By bringing information and functionality to users within Teams where they are already collaborating, developers can enable users to work more productively and achieve more.
Join Microsoft MVP Tom Morgan as he outlines how both developers and IT Pros can use no-code, low-code, and pro-code tools to learn about, manage and create Teams as well as the different parts of the extensive Microsoft Teams Development Platform available to developers who wish to write applications that can be consumed within Teams. There is a lot of choice right now, which can be overwhelming, but Tom will outline which parts of the Platform should be used when, and why. Expect plenty of examples & sample code to help you get started building your first Microsoft Teams application.
