Office Explorers

This month Rob and Taylor team up to tackle PowerShell with the help of Cognizant MBG's resident expert, Jason R.

Don't skip the news segment - there's some important information w/r/t Silverlight, and more!

Microsoft's Azure platform covers a lot of tools and features. This month Taylor and Rob take a look at Azure Files, which might just be the cloud-based file storage solution you've been looking for. Is it? Listen to our conversation with the MBG's Azure Files expert James Cragle to find out!

Taylor and Rob also offer up some news for Microsoft-using Apple Aficionados as well as those of us who think a good time includes checking out the M365 Roadmap (us, it's us).

Microsoft loves to drop mind-blowing cloud-focused new tools and features on us these days, and this month is no different! This month Max and Rob give you the bullet on Windows 365 and the first release of Fluid Framework tools before we dive into the world of Power Bi. If you're a fan of data analysis in Excel, including charts, graphs, and pivot tables, then listen up and get ready to supercharge your analyses!

This month Rob and Taylor go back to Yammer, because a lot has changed since we last spoke with our Yammer Expert, Brian Holness!

We lead off with some Yammer/SharePoint and Microsoft Lists news before really getting into it with Brian.

Come for the latest, stick around to discover what's new in Yammer - and how it fits in your organization, if you were wondering.

This month Max and Rob sit down with the MBG's own Tyler Biddle to talk PowerApps. We discuss the different kinds of PowerApps you can create, exactly how much code does "No Code/Low Code" mean, and what is Dataverse, anyway?

Don't forget to rate, review, and share the podcast, and if you have any comments or requests for episode topics, you can reach us on Twitter, @OfficeExplorers

We're back in a big way this month! New co-hosts Taylor and Max join Rob to share some M365 news items and then they dive into Microsoft Viva with Cognizant MBG's own Varol Saatcioglu. Welcome Taylor and Max with a review, or a shout-out on Twitter, we're @OfficeExplorers.

Another month with Rob soloing the hosting duties, and this month there's no guest - Rob is hot off a Power Automate project and shares his knowledge of the platform in an overview that gives you what you need to know to orient yourself before you dive into the world of templates and Flows and connectors and actions.

So set an automatic trigger to play this podcast whenever a new episode hits your feed - it's time for another Office Explorers.

We're Back! Well, I'm back - Rob, that is. Kat has moved on to a new adventure and I couldn't be happier for her.

This month, we learn that New Signature is now Cognizant Microsoft Business Group, The SharePoint App Bar is coming, Microsoft Viva is the Next Big Thing, and friend of the podcast Oliver Bartholdson returns to discuss how SharePoint Syntex is AI that works for you.

I'll be back every month like before with a new episode, and keep listening, because the search is on for a successor to Kat.

Update: We discovered that a segment was missing and have uploaded a fresh file to fix that error. We now return you to your regularly scheduled podcast.

This month we give you some updates on new Microsoft Teams features before diving into a great conversation on Dev Ops (both the philosophy and the Azure platform) with our resident expert, Chris Ayers.

This month we do a high-level review of some of the new features announced at Ignite - don't forget to check out the Book of News! Our guest, Shefali also gives us some overviews of the three main pillars of Power Platform - Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI!
