The Microsoft Customer Immersion Experience (CIE) is a hands-on introduction to Windows 10, Office 365 and Azure that gives you an opportunity to experience these powerful productivity solutions for yourself.
A CIE is not a generic demo about all the features Microsoft products offer. It’s a true-to-life user experience that takes you through common work-related scenarios such as being productive while mobile, using social networking to get work done, and connecting in real time with colleagues and customers. It also gives you a first-hand look at the fast and fluid experience of Windows 10, and the exciting features of Office 365 across a variety of devices, including tablets, PCs and smartphones.

As we increasingly adopt technology in everyday life, the skills that employers are looking for are constantly changing. The employers of the future will be looking beyond just digital literacy skills, they will want their employees to be competent at complex problem solving, critical thinking and creativity – creative soft skills. These skills can be often hard to incorporate into the curriculum, but with the use of innovative applications and a creative approach, educators can start to instill these skill sets in their students – preparing them for their futures.
Learn MorePhoenix have worked with City College Peterborough since 2009, but in Spring 2019 discussions started around them moving to Microsoft 365 as they had a digital strategy that they wanted to roll out to support both their staff and students in terms of a modern learning environment and support package. Phoenix then worked with City College Peterborough to look at what they wanted to achieve through the use of technology which initially resulted in various workshops, Customer Immersion Experiences (CIEs) and end-user training sessions.
This phase of the project was key and helped shape a strategy moving forwards with Microsoft Teams seen as an intrinsic part of the college’s digital future. Further training sessions were arranged with Phoenix’s strategic partner, Purify, where they delivered dedicated sessions for each subject lead and a ‘Teams Champion’ was selected to assist each of their departments as the solution was rolled out.

The creation of virtual classrooms and virtual curriculums means that if a learner hasn’t been able to engage in the classroom, later on that evening if they want to catch up on some work they can. Teams allows them to communicate with their tutor, with our wellbeing team and that keeps them part of the college community, which also means they’re part of the support package which we can offer and get them back on track.
