The countdown to UC & Cloud day is truly on. In less than a month, at the National Conference Centre in Birmingham, we’ll be putting on the UK’s premier independent Microsoft UC & Cloud conference. As usual, Andy Price has been working very hard to make this year’s event the best one yet, supported by…
Microsoft launched Guest access for Microsoft Teams this week, in a move that was welcomed by many. It allows you to invite others from outside your organisation to participate in your Teams.
