It's that time of year again. November brings us back to Microsoft's annual partner conference Ignite. Ignite gathers Microsoft's partner eco-system together, in Orlando, for a huge conference filled with updates about its products and platforms. As collaboration and communication technology is becoming more popular Microsoft Teams takes up a more prominent position at the event. This podcast covers all of the Microsoft Team's related news, feature announcements and updates that have been announced at Ignite this week.

Microsoft Ignite looms on the horizon for November so you might have thought that the new feature updates for Microsoft teams would have slowed through September and October, you'd have been wrong. Microsoft announced five new GA features for the platform in September, and five more to come over the next few weeks. The usual pod team take you through all of the new features and discuss news relating to the Team's Linux client and a rumour about a Microsoft Surface branded Teams speakerphone. Finally the team look ahead to see what will be happening at Microsoft Ignite next month.

September's edition of the Microsoft monthly podcast begins with some further follow up on last month's big news. The podcast covers some previously uncovered areas of the Skype for Business Online retirement date announcement. The team explore how the news impacts, customers and in particular, those that have purchased 3IP Phones. After reviewing the additional Skype info the pod then moves on to the latest Microsoft Teams news. There are the usual host of updates covering additional PSTN connectivity, further info on the new whiteboard capture feature and another new territory for Team's data residency. Lastly the pod looks ahead the next big Microsoft event that is looming in the calendar.

Craig is in the WGAN Morning News with Ken and Matt. This morning we talked about a new book coming out in September that is the memoir of Edward Snowden telling his side of what happened and why he did what he did.  We also discussed some of the pros and cons of using Artificial Intelligence in healthcare and healthcare decisions. Then we discussed what is happening with Skype for business and why it is being retired.

In this episode we talk about the differences between Microsoft Teams and Skype for business.

On this week's episode of the podcast there is news of the biggest breach of a large bank ever!...to date, a story on the retirement of Skype for Business Online, the news that Google Cloud Platform will partner with VMware and much more! Reference Links: https://www.rorymon.com/blog/episode-83-skype-for-business-retirement-windows-10-boot-issue-biggest-bank-breach-ever-more/

The original podcast for August covered all the latest news from Microsoft's Inspire partner event, the latest updates on Skype for Business Server 2019 and some new announcements for Teams. Then news emerged that Microsoft had announced the retirement date for Skype for Business Online. The 31st of July 2021 will be the end of service date for the platform so a bonus section of the podcast has been added to bring you all of the details and some reaction to the announcement.

This month's edition of the podcast is jam packed with news and feature updates relating to communication and collaboration platform Microsoft Teams. There are a host of new features to discuss including urgent message functionality and channel team announcements. Possibly the biggest revelation from the last month is the news that Microsoft Teams will eventually be absorbing and then replacing Kaizala. Kaizala, Microsoft's phone number based mobile chat application became hugely popular in various geographies but now Microsoft have indicated that Teams will replicate some of its features and eventually replace Kaizala altogether. The usual podcast team also look ahead to upcoming events and review Comms VNEXT which concluded earlier this month.

The number of conference solutions available out there can be overwhelming.  A large number of them are free or close enough that it can make deciding on a solution a difficult task.  Thus, we want to look at the well-known and well-supported solutions that fit our price range as well as the features we should look for in an application.  Even if you only need to use conference solutions a time or two a quarter, this list will help you find a platform that matches your needs. Amazon Chime Among the AWS services is a conference call solution called Chime.  This has a thirty-day free trial as well as a free option where all members pay call fees.  It is an excellent solution that provides desktop clients across a broad range of platforms.  We use this solution for our mentor sessions, and I have used it for consulting a large portion of the last few years. Free Conference Call As the name says, this is a free conference call solution and works well.  The desktop sharing tools and ability to give attendees a feel of this being a high-end solution are not what one would hope for.  However, the cost is hard to beat, and that makes this a perfect solution for an ad hoc call requirement. Goto Meeting This is arguably the best-known solution on the list.  Goto Meeting has been around for a long time and has developed some very high-quality tools for the desktop and web clients.  It is one of the more expensive solutions ($14/month or $29/mo to get record and transcripts).  However, it is a platform that will give your customers/callers a comfort level with the tool and your professional approach. Skype For Business Skype has been around for years and is a robust VOIP solution.  The "Skype For Business" product was created when Microsoft bought Skype and merged the legacy product with the Lync product.  The result is a pretty good and often used solution.  I have had a lot of headaches with this over the years, but they do seem to be getting fixes in regularly, and stability has improved.  At $2/per user per month, it is practically free and often bundled in with Office 365 subscriptions. Zoom The top conference solutions products often include Zoom in the list.  It is quick and easy to use along with some reasonable pricing (free or $15/mo to add recording).  The free option is another perfect one to use if you have to quickly set up a conference call and do not have a subscription with one of the other providers. Webex Much like Goto meeting, Webex has been around for a long time.  They have made good improvements over the years and created a solution you can trust.  I have not seen it used as much in recent years, but that may just be my experience and not a reflection of the tool itself.  It does the job and should be considered if you are going to step up above a free solution.  It runs $19 per month per user. join.me The name recognition of this product makes it another one you will likely run into for conference solutions.  The pricing and positioning make this a much better solution if you want high-quality communication and sharing for a small number of attendees to your calls.  It starts with $10 per month for up to 5 people on a call or you can step up to $20 to add recording and 50 participants per call. Uberconference I often run into this solution in situations similar to freeconferencecall.  It does provide for recording with a small number of users (free record and up to 10 attendees, $15/mo/user up to 100 attendees) and it scales up to a large number of attendees well.  It is a newer product, but I have no complaints in my experiences with it.
