Our recent analysis indicates that 74% of customer outages could have been prevented by following reliability guidance in the Well-Architected Framework (WAF)*. Ignoring WAF can lead to more frequent outages, diminished CSAT, and risk to ACR. No matter the workload, customers need help protecting service continuity. Help your customers reduce risk with a Proactive Resilience engagement by designing resilient cloud workloads, or remediating existing critical workloads. In this webinar, Azure Advanced Specialized partners can learn how to deliver Proactive Resilience engagements to provide their customers actionable guidance, recommendations for reliability and uptime; and improved confidence and understanding of Azure. This webinar is an abridged version of our Proactive Resiliency Workshop series, designed for Sales BDMs and non-technical staff. We have three webinar options available, select the time that best suits your schedule: EMEA Timezone: Monday Oct 21 4:00-5:00PM London Time UTC+0 Asia Timezone: Tuesday Oct 22 10:30-11:30AM Singapore Time UTC+8 Americas Timezone: Wednesday Oct 23 1:00-2:00PM PDT UTC+10 AMD is proud to sponsor our webinar series. Microsoft and AMD’s Long-Term Partnership stretches to their commitment to technical education and innovation. Their sponsorship of this workshop is a testament to their commitment to the technology community and their belief in the importance of continued learning and development.

We're excited to launch a new community to enable partners to help customers elevate reliability, security, and ongoing performance of their cloud and AI investments through Azure Essentials. Here we will be providing you with updates on new assets, tooling and partner training related to Azure Essentials. Azure Migrate and Modernize and Azure Innovate. Azure Essentials is the newest addition to the Azure portfolio. It is not an offer by itself. Rather, it underpins Azure Migrate and Modernize and Azure Innovate. Azure Essentials provides Microsoft best practices, product experiences, reference architectures and an array of resources into a single destination to help partners elevate security, reliability, and ongoing performance for cloud and AI workloads of their customers. For partners, this will be your go-to hub to access assets, tooling and partner training to deliver your own differentiated solutions on core scenarios across the Microsoft Azure solution plays as well as other important topics like resilience and security. All partner types can benefit from the self-serve Azure Essentials guidance, however, SIs with infra/DB specialization are likely most suited for the current proactive resiliency scenario. Information for partners is available on the Azure Essentials Partner page on the Microsoft partner website. Stay tuned here in the community for the latest announcements and updates on Azure Essentials!Improving Personal Productivity
In December of last year, ChristianBuckley presented a webinar called Improving Your Personal Productivity. While new features and updates continue to be rolled out by Microsoft, Christian’s presentation focused on the incremental changes that individuals can make to improve their own productivity, using the tools they already have access to. You can listen to the whole webinar here (and embedded below) - here are a few highlights from the webinar: Documenting Conversations – Have conversations within all Office Web applications. Chat with your co-workers as you edit in real time. If IMs aren’t enough, quickly turn your conversation into a group call or video chat. Here’s how. Ignore Reply-All – Clean up your inbox! Keep unwanted conversations out of your Inbox with the Ignore Conversation Boards in Office Delve - Make discovering content easier. Create boards, pin documents and share with other users. Rather than saving to your personal space, make documents you discover visible to people you think would find them relevant. Also, check out the product spotlight on Delve here. Sway – Office Sway helps you create and share interactive reports, stories and presentations. Create unique presentations quickly with Sway’s built-in design engine that helps you apply new designs or fully customize your layout. For more information, check out Getting Started with Sway.

An Introduction to Microsoft Azure Information Protection
Microsoft Azure Information Protection is a new solution that makes it simpler to classify and protect information, even as it travels outside of your organization. You'll see the new options that let you define how your users can classify their documents and emails during the normal course of their work. Find out how you can define the labels, protections, and visual markings appropriate for your organization. And finally, track where sensitive documents are traveling and how to stop them in their tracks.
Table Topics at Microsoft Ignite - Call for Moderators!
As you would have seen, the dates for Microsoft Ignite have been announced: September 22-24 as a 48 hour digital event! Community is a big part of Microsoft Ignite – and I seek your help to create a great interactive experience that could drive hundreds of thousands of community members to connect and create bridges in ways we never have before. We will be hosting Table Topics, a set of moderated threaded conversations here in the Tech Community in the following topic categories: Application Development Azure Business Applications Career Development Community Best Practices and Community Leadership Data and AI Enabling Remote Work Industry Learning Microsoft 365 Power Platform Security (⬅ This is where the Microsoft Security submissions go) These Table Topics are Tech Community conversations happening throughout the event, across all timezones, and likely to continue after the event. This will be a great way for the entire planet to connect over these topics (some great ones were proposed on Twitter here). Because this is part of the Tech Community, we will be able to support multiple languages in the online discussion: Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Spanish. We are currently working on a way that the conversations will show up in the MyIgnite experience. How I see this working - an example for illustration purposes. We can have multiple threaded conversations for each Table Topic, for example for Enabling Remote Work: “Staying connected while working remotely or adjusting your management styles for working remotely.” Moderators: Tom Arbuthnot, Cathrine Wilhelmsen “Tips to ensure #worklifebalance while working remote” Moderator: Dux Raymond Sy, Laura Rogers “Lessons learned while remote working and homeschooling” Moderator: Darrell Webster, Helen Blunden Will there be an opportunity to speak? Yes! For each Table Topic, there will be 3x Teams Meetings scheduled covering the three timezones (Americas, APAC, WE/EMEA) aka ‘Table Talks’. Table Talks will be conducted in English. They will be recorded and posted in MyIgnite. Example of the Table Talks MCs Enabling Remote Work - Americas Table Talk MCs: e.g. Dux Raymond Sy, Laura Rogers Enabling Remote Work - APAC Table Talk TZ MCs: e.g. Darrell Webster, Helen Blunden Enabling Remote Work - WE/EMEA Table Talk MCs: e.g. Tom Arbuthnot, Cathrine Wilhelmsen We plan to have a full Table Topic agenda if we have a good list of topics per category and at least 3 unique moderators per timezone for each topic. The beauty of this is – you don’t have to navigate through crowds to get from Hall A to Hall Z, you can have your own personal beverage of choice to power through the rapid-fire questions, and you can do this all in your pyjama pants! Want to get involved? Giving you an opportunity to submit your Table Topics before the form goes live tomorrow at 9AM! I will be asking for an open call for Table Topics via this form. Submissions close September 24 6PM Pacific Time (UTC-8). Workflow for Table Topic submissions and selection. Unfortunately, there will be no Community Call for Content this year. This is the primary source of community-generated interaction at Microsoft Ignite. Call for Moderators form – Submit your Table Topics here! I invite you to start submitting today and to get them in before submissions close 6 pm Aug 24th Pacific Time. If you have any questions, please direct them to myself and @Allie Wieczorek!Table Topics at Microsoft Ignite - Call for Moderators!
