Status of Microsoft Places
In a community call last year, there was a demo of Microsoft Places. Can anyone provide an update regarding the release date of this? We are interested in the hotel desk component of this tool. Also, is it going to be part of the Microsoft 365 licenses, Teams Premium, etc.? Thank you.Champion Community Content - December & January Calls

Tool for training needs analysis
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this... Part of my role is to drive adoption of O365 in our customer's organisations. I'm looking for a cloud-based tool to assess who needs training, which aspects of the suite they need training in and possibly even how best they like to learn (instructor-led, video, self-paced etc). Ideally the tool would give me a good idea of the digital literacy of each employee and where their strengths and weaknesses lie with each app (e.g Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint etc). Any help with this from the community would be greatly appreciated!Office 365 Training Portal
Hi All, Microsoft has a lot of excellent training resources for the many Office 365 apps, but they can be difficult to find. To that end, I created the https://office365trainingportal.com/, the goal of it being to centralize access to the various Microsoft resources, including Microsoft's overview videos of the apps (where available). Is this a resource that could benefit your users/organizations? Is there anything you would recommend to make it better?Overcoming Complacency?
Hey everyone! Greetings from Atlanta, GA. I've recently stepped into the role of a Customer Success Manager for Microsoft, and I'll be driving adoption for companies with low numbers of Active vs. Qualified Entitlements for Microsoft Teams. My question to you all is this: how do you overcome the objection of "things are fine the way they are?" Companies often have so much on their plate that the LAST of their concerns is the adoption of a new communication platform. How can we be respectfully persistent and convince them that, although we understand and respect their priorities, MS Teams would be an incredible asset to the company in the long run? Thanks in advance for your responses. All the best, Guilherme Apollonio
