This month brought special guests Amie Seisay (LinkedIn), DC-area O365 and SharePoint solution provider, and Matthew Littleton (LinkedIn), Global Advanced Compliance Specialist at Microsoft.


 


In our inaugural episode we tried to focus on Microsoft Ignite, but as the Government Community is used to, there were not a lot of GCC, GCC-H, or DOD announcements last week. So, after a brief “what was cool and exciting” segment (have you seen Mesh? or Viva? And yes, we’re assured Viva for GCC is … on the way), we moved on to Government News from February and March. Here’s a list of topics and some related links, to make sure you caught everything!
