Introduction to Office 365 for Technical Managers

About

Services and capabilities in the Cloud are now commonplace and rapidly evolving. There is a lot of information available on Office but where do you start?

Like any IT project, the success of implementing Office 365 can be greatly influenced by appropriate planning, provision of access and managing of users.

Introduction to Office 365 will provide useful information and guidance on transitioning to Office 365, along with critical issues to consider when migrating to the Cloud. There will be labs and case studies to reinforce and apply your new knowledge to the work environment.

* A practical hands-on and exploratory training course every delegate will be provided with a laptop to apply and practise within a live Office 365 Cloud environment
