M365 More Finding, Less Fixing w/ReconAI
WWT, 701 Fee Fee Rd, Maryland Heights, MO, USDetails:
Microsoft 365 gives IT teams incredible power, but also an overwhelming amount of data spread across Entra ID, Intune, Defender, AD, and multiple admin portals. The result? Too much time hunting for answers and not enough time acting on what matters.
In this meetup, we’ll show how teams can securely use AI to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive clarity, reducing friction, improving security, and saving real operational time.
What is ReconAI:
ReconAI is a Microsoft 365 Operational Business Dashboard (OBD) built to simplify complexity. It provides a secure, single-pane view of your M365 environment with AI-driven insights that surface risk, prioritize action, and eliminate portal hopping.
ReconAI helps teams:- See users, devices, identities, security posture, and licensing in one place
- Identify security gaps, MFA issues, stale accounts, and misconfigurations fast
- Generate AI-powered executive summaries and prioritized recommendations
- Troubleshoot interactively without bouncing between tools
- Reduce effort while increasing operational confidence
Agenda:
- The real problem with M365 operations today
- Why “more tools” hasn’t meant more clarity
- Live walkthrough of ReconAI
- How AI-driven prioritization changes daily IT work
- Real-world use cases (security, ops, M&A readiness)
- Q&A and discussion
