Episode 95 of the #MVPbuzzChat series. Conversation between Microsoft Regional Director and MVP Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet), Founder & CEO of CollabTalk LLC, and Benjamin Niaulin (@bniaulin), a fellow Office Apps & Services MVP and Microsoft Regional Director, and Head of Product at ShareGate, a leading ISV (independent software vendor) for SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. Ben was previously the Product Evangelist and public face for ShareGate, and is a frequent speaker at events around the world. Recorded in June 2020.

In this episode, Ben and I chat about the ShareGate headquarters in a beautifully-renovated factory in Montreal, and how much the Microsoft ecosystem has evolved and changed for ISVs (independent software vendors) and other partners since the software world has moved to SaaS (software-as-a-service), forcing companies like ShareGate to move faster and think more strategically about customers, competitors, and even new models for monetization.
