The Practical 365 Podcast S4 E17


It took a little over 6 and a half years since the last episode of The UC Architects podcast, but I was finally reunited with Steve Goodman. This time it was to join him and Paul Robichaux to record an episode of the Practical 365 podcast, and talk about the new Practical PowerShell series on Practical365.com.

Topics discussed in this episode are:

  • Microsoft Teams: Automatic Camera Switching, Multiple Views, and Improved Joining Options Elevate Teams Rooms Experiences
  • Microsoft Exchange: High Volume Email
  • Practical PowerShell series: Bridging the gap

I hope you enjoy the episode.

Automation, DevOps and the Evolution of the IT Pro


iTunes-Podcast-logo[1]Recently, Simon Waight and I were invited by fellow MVP Chris Goosen from Cloud Architects to come chat a little on Automation, DevOps and the evolution of the IT Professional.

With the bridge narrowing between development and infrastructure on a daily basis, and infrastructure becoming code, the DevOps culture is becoming more and more important to be knowledgeable about for IT Professionals with a background in infrastructure.
