This month, we focused on sharing stories and guidance to help you build strong relationships with your partners in the business. IT organizational shifts in a cloud-focused world have elevated opportunities to improve business-IT alignment for strategic benefit—and position IT to shape business strategy. The crux is bringing teams together to ensure that IT meets compliance standards while also developing and delivering agile solutions that meet the needs of internal lines of business (LOBs).
We’ve pulled all the posts together as a handy reference. If you missed a post, go check it out! We’d like to hear your thoughts about increasing alignment between IT and LOBs and what you’re seeing in your own organizations.

Now that it’s September, we’ll be turning our focus to Microsoft Ignite 2017. Whether you’re attending the event or not, Tech Community will be your platform to connect with other attendees, engage with event speakers, ask questions about the event logistics and plan what to pack! After Ignite, the content will be available here and you can also follow-up with new friends you made or ask speakers follow-up questions. Happy September!
