Potential Risks of Cloud Migration

by ArturoLeave a Comment on Potential Risks of Cloud Migration

Cloud computing has revolutionized business operations, and is becoming the nearly universal adopted model for IT infrastructure. In fact, the 2018 State of the Cloud survey found that 96% of organizations use cloud services in some form or another, providing today’s organizations with a host of benefits, including greatly reduced operational costs and increased inter-connectivity via a secured network.

However, moving from mainframe to cloud presents a variety of challenges, and many organizations still rely heavily on legacy mainframe systems and outdated technologies for a large portion of their operations. Below we’ll outline a few of the more common challenges related to full scale cloud adoption, while also providing other some potential solutions.  Continue reading “Potential Risks of Cloud Migration” →

Javascript Copy to Clipboard for Excel

by Mike BerrymanLeave a Comment on Javascript Copy to Clipboard for Excel

I recently had a requirement to “export” data shown in a table on a web page to an Excel file.  In a normal situation I’d do something server-side to generate an Excel file with the necessary data, but unfortunately this situation was not a normal. The project I was working on did not have a server-side component – it was completely client-side code – so I couldn’t just create an Excel file.  The solution I came up with was to provide a way for the users to copy the required data to their clipboard and they could then paste it into an Excel document.

WHAT’S NEW IN OFFICE 365 (SEPTEMBER 2018)

Time flies when you’re having fun and that means Ignite will be here before we know it.  As expected Microsoft has already started to lay the ground work for some of the talking points at Ignite with their feature and enhancement announcements in August and will likely continue that trend through September.

Office 365 Roadmap Transitioning to Microsoft 365 Roadmap

When Microsoft first rolled out the Microsoft 365 package (Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility & Security) there was a lot of confusion around what the differences were between Microsoft 365 and Office 365.  In fact, we still get questions about this regularly and with this latest change that trend is likely to tick upward.  In mid-September 2018 Microsoft will be moving the Office 365 Roadmap to a new location on the web and adding Microsoft 365 features.  Continue reading “WHAT’S NEW IN OFFICE 365 (SEPTEMBER 2018)” →

MS Teams Bug: Comments in Documents and Modified Information

by Duane A. OdumLeave a Comment on MS Teams Bug: Comments in Documents and Modified Information

On Friday a co-worker indicated that they had added some comments to a Word document I created in one of our MS Teams.  The following Tuesday morning, using the MS Teams Desktop Application, I went to the team to review the comments but noticed something a bit weird, the modified information hadn’t changed.  It was still showing as last modified by me over a week ago.  I’m typically a good “techie” and keep my stuff up to date, shut down my machine every night and I’m regularly in the MS Teams application and never noticed this.  A bit perplexed, I opened the document in Word and sure enough the comments my co-worker added were there, but she hadn’t changed anything else, she just added comments.

With a little over 6 weeks to go until Ignite and the Business Application Summit last month we are sure to be getting some new features and enhancements galore over the next couple months.  As an FYI: Microsoft has made most of, if not all the Business Applications Summit sessions available on demand. If you’re thinking about how your organization can take advantage of the Microsoft Power Platform (Power BI, PowerApps, Flow and Dynamics 365) it’s worth looking through the sessions.

MS Flow and Azure: Creating Parent and Sub sites

by Sheryl DarrochLeave a Comment on MS Flow and Azure: Creating Parent and Sub sites

The Assignment

Recently we were asked by a client to develop a MS Flow that creates a sub site when users enter a new item into a SharePoint list. What we found was there’s no simple, out of the box way to have the new sub site inherit the top navigation of the parent site. As a result, we needed to create an Azure Function to preform this function.  Continue reading “MS Flow and Azure: Creating Parent and Sub sites” →

MS Teams and Skype for Business transition is coming: Are you ready?

by Duane A. OdumLeave a Comment on MS Teams and Skype for Business transition is coming: Are you ready?

Administrators of Office 365 be warned…the Teams/Skype for Business migrations are going to be coming and you need to start being proactive sooner rather than later.  Most of us have already got the “Teams & Skype” admin center but we can still utilize the Services & add-ins section to manage tenant wide settings we don’t have access to in the new admin center. As you may have already guessed that’s going to be changing, quickly.  Continue reading “MS Teams and Skype for Business transition is coming: Are you ready?” →
