Despite all the new features that Microsoft has introduced around Retention Policies and Archiving, some clients that I work with still long for the day of “Managed Folders”. The “Managed Folders” feature left us with Exchange 2010 and the replacement, “Retention Policies” and “Retention Tags”, can be a difficult to adopt for some organizations. In […]

Earlier this month, I published some notes (“Office 365 – Have You Evaluated These Exchange Online Features?“) on features within Exchange Online that deserve a bit of scrutiny. One of these features is the “Default Role Assignment Policy” which, by its name, is assigned by default to every mailbox. What does this policy contain? Are […]

When you move your mailboxes to the cloud, there are some details that you lose a little bit of insight into. While an acceptable answer to “where are my mailboxes” might be “the cloud”, I was curious as to how distributed they are. We know that an Office 365 tenant is limited to a single […]

One of the great aspects of Office 365 is that there is no shortage of features and it seems like there are new features added monthly. That said, not all organizations want all of the features and in many cases, Microsoft has enabled these features by default. You may want to roll out these features […]

For many organizations, Exchange Online commonly serves as the stepping stone to Office 365 and often as their first step to using cloud services in general. Sometimes overshadowed by the financial benefits of migrating to Exchange Online is the necessary prep work to get there. While the migration effort is something you may have engaged […]

The practice of email “archiving” probably goes back as far as email itself. Over the years, the reason for archiving emails has changed and as the corresponding technologies have evolved, it brings into question whether this practice even needs to continue. Before enabling functionality that moves email data from it’s original location, it’s worth discussing […]

On June 24th, Microsoft hosted a “Beyond Build and Ignite” event at our local MTC office. The event was well-attended by clients looking for additional information on top of the hours of video content available from the last month’s Ignite event. In addition to Perficient being one of the sponsors of this event, I was […]

Centrify Identity Service (CIS) for Office 365 runs on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and is a comprehensive solution for Active Directory-based SSO, user provisioning and mobility management.

As we get back into the swing of things after heading home from Microsoft Ignite (some of us didn’t have to go very far, lucky Chicagoans), we’re excited to have a bunch of new webinars lined up on various topics. One was today, on Skype for Business – stay tuned for that recap! Next up, […]

You will find some exciting announcements and investments, but before we discuss the future roadmap, let’s dive in to background and benefits of Groups. The world has changed Earlier – Information moves slowly. Fixed workforces; siloed teams. Believed in command and control Now – information travels fast. Leverage the on demand; global talent pool. Always […]

Today, Perficient announced that its team will be heading to the inaugural Microsoft Ignite conference as an exhibitor. The Perficient team will be showcasing their Microsoft Cloud expertise in booth 330 and Joe Palarchio will be sharing his Office 365 experience in a session on Exchange in a hybrid environment. We’ll also be giving away […]

As a result of a decision made by either the employee or the employer, users will inevitably leave your organization. Whether you call these user “separations”, “terminations” or “offboarding”, the impact to IT is the same: network access needs to be secured and the user’s data needs to be addressed.
