The Microsoft 365 Education announcement is only the starting point. The next step is understanding what the changes mean for your organisation.

This Phoenix-led session will move from headline information to practical planning. We will focus on customer choices, dependencies, and likely impact areas.

We will explain how to approach user profiling, storage, Teams options, security, and renewal planning. We will also show where deeper modelling may be needed.
