Tech Summit Preview: 4 Things You’ll Learn About Office 365 E5

Office 365 E5 is more than just the latest SKU released by Microsoft. Since its debut back in December of last year, the new top-tier Office 365 plan has brought with it significant changes, both for Microsoft and for the businesses who’ve embraced it. In addition to marking Microsoft’s first foray into enterprise voice, E5 contains multiple other features capable of delivering tremendous benefits back towards the business.

At Arraya, we’re excited about the game-changing capabilities of Office 365 E5. In order to spread that enthusiasm, we’ve selected Driving Business Value with Office 365 E5 as one of the Spotlight Sessions at this year’s Arraya Tech Summit (June 9th). Our Tech Summit is a yearly day of deep dives into the hot button technical topics of today. The subjects covered in our Spotlight Sessions were handpicked by our leadership team because of the foundational role they can play in helping IT – and the business as a whole – succeed now and for years to come.

Wherever you stand with Office 365, whether you’re fully deployed or are looking to learn more about it before diving in, Driving Business Value with Office 365 E5 is a session you’ll definitely want to attend come June 9th.

Here’s a sneak preview of what to expect:

• What is Office 365 E5? By the time the Tech Summit rolls around, the E5 license will be a little over half a year old. However, life in IT doesn’t always allot time to explore tools you’re not using every day. If you’re unacquainted with E5, consider this your crash course. Following a quick overview, the session will dive in to demos highlighting E5’s enterprise voice capabilities, the power of Advanced Threat Protection, the insight provided by Delve Organizational Analytics, and more.
• How to pitch Office 365 E5 successfully. Even if you’re familiar with the features and talking points surrounding Office 365 E5, decision-makers, or those on the business side, may not be. If you pitch them on upgrading to or rolling out Office 365 E5, that disconnect may lead them to balk at the idea. This session will help attendees devise an effective strategy for properly showcasing the explicit and implicit business value achievable through Microsoft’s E5 suite.
• Making the move to enterprise voice. For many long-time Microsoft admins, enterprise voice is a new frontier. This session will dig into Microsoft’s vision for this service, giving Microsoft admins as well as long-time PBX telephony admins a better idea of what to expect. (Programing Note: Tech Summit attendees who would like an even more extensive look at this topic will also want to attend our session entitled Microsoft Enterprise Voice.)
• Breaking new ground with Office 365 E5. Say you already have Office 365 and have seen its positive impact. The clear subsequent question is “Where can I go next?” Office 365 offers plenty of ways for businesses to extract even greater ROI from the solution by spinning up new features or offerings. This session, through its demos and discussion, can point attendees in the direction of the features or options they may not be leveraging yet.
