A journey to Windows 11: 85,000 employees. 60,000 computers. 70 countries. Fully cloud managed.   A global enterprise entrusted us to migrate them from Windows 10 on-prem to a fully cloud-managed Windows 11 ecosystem.   The challenge? Doing it seamlessly, securely, and cost-effectively, across diverse work environments from trading floors to 24/7/365 production sites.   With a lean team of just eight experts and by leveraging Entra, Intune, Autopilot, company portal, conditional access, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Windows Update for Business and delivery optimisation we enabled a modern, client cloud only environment - simpler, faster, and more cost efficient.   Highlights of our achievements: ✅ Migrated all users to Windows 11 AAD only ✅ Saved over $27 million by introducing self-service provisioning and eliminating non-required infrastructure ✅ Consistently achieved 97% Windows and Office patching levels ✅ Strengthened security, passed PEN tests and gained Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation ✅ Repackaged 700 business apps and moved to the Intune company portal   This was more than just a migration - it was a transformation. And we proved that with the right strategy and expertise, even the biggest IT challenges can be tackled with a small, agile team.   Read the full story. https://lnkd.in/e4eTFS5C

🚀 Boost your productivity with the power of conversation! 🦆🤖   Ever experienced that "aha" moment when explaining an idea to someone, and suddenly everything clicks? It’s not always their feedback that helps - it’s organising your own thoughts as you explain.   Software developers even have a term for this: rubber duck debugging - explaining code to an inanimate object (yes, like a rubber duck) to uncover solutions. But this concept isn’t just for developers - it works for anyone tackling tough problems or brainstorming big ideas.   Now, imagine upgrading your rubber duck to a high-tech partner. Enter Copilot - your AI-powered thinking companion. Whether you’re stuck, need structure, or crave a fresh perspective, Copilot is there to help you develop your ideas.   It’s not about Copilot having all the answers - it’s about the clarity you gain by working through the process. Next time you’re stuck, try “talking” to Copilot. You might just discover your next big idea.   Read more in "It’s good to talk: Finding clarity with Copilot" by Dominic Beadle, Microsoft 365 Productivity Coach. https://lnkd.in/eazyj4Pp
