I speak with a returning guest Mark O'Shea around the changes we've seen recently in Microsoft 365, especially around device management and Microsoft Endpoint Manager. The whole device deployment and management landscape is changing fast. It all used to be about Intune but now the focus is really Endpoint Manager and Mark helps us understand the why's and what fors.
I've also got a swag of Microsoft Cloud news to share with you to bring up to date with the latest happenings.
As always, thanks for being a subscriber and don't hesitate to share what I do with others.
