The offline part of the digitalization – Change & Adoption explained

Devoteam Alegri Speaker: Michael Roth and Stephan Quast

Everyone is talking about change & adoption. In this presentation we want to show what exactly it means and how diverse the topic actually is.

In the IT environment, terms such as change, transformation, adoption, digitalization, etc. are often used and very few people really know what is behind them – surprisingly it’s less IT than most people think. It is the offline topics that are in focus here: talking to people about their work, what drives them, how they work and how, technically speaking, their passion can best be transferred to the workplace of the future.

In short, this requires three easy steps:

1. the common challenge

2. the common goal

3. the common way

At the beginning every change & adoption issue starts with a common challenge. What is the starting position, where do we stand today, where do we come from? This means a lot of analysis, discussion, evaluation and understanding. This is only possible through personal contact. No wires attached.

Only when there is a common (!) understanding of the current situation, a common solution can be considered. How does our solution actually look like? How can we tell that we have arrived in the digitalisation? What should our cooperation and communication actually be like? At this point, a lot of people notice how important the topic of digitalisation and change & adoption actually is. You create your own workplace of the future.

In the third step, when starting position and goal lie clearly ahead of you, work can begin working on the way. What are the concrete steps that are necessary for us to achieve our goal? What must employees and the organization on the one hand, but also the IT infrastructure on the other hand, be prepared for? And how do we actually bring those two together? What affects everybody can only be solved by everybody. Which is why the interaction between people and IT is of the utmost importance here.

And in the end? There is not only the workplace of the future, but also a whole new understanding of communication and cooperation. Digitalization poses an immense challenge, but also an immense potential. Together this potential can be harnessed.

Create an immersive experience with Office 365 data and Mixed Reality using HoloLens

Think of provisioning information on real-life objects or straw through Cloud data like persons, related contacts, documents and other stuff. This allows you to build rich applications containing information you normally process in a 2D world like your browsers. By extending it to a 3D world, you are able to process the data in a completely different way. Think of creating teams of people within your organization and group them based on specialties, getting a more clear inside view of your site structure in SharePoint or have a 3D model of the Microsoft Graph entities related objects

Making the pieces fit – the Office 365 security & compliance puzzle

Office 365, Microsoft Cloud App Security, Enterprise Mobility and Security (EMS), Azure Information Protection. There’s no lack in Microsoft’s offering of security & compliance solutions.

And data governance labels and Azure Information Protection labels were equal in name only. In this session, Albert will go over all these pieces and will explain them. He will also demonstrate the functions and show you how to create a complete puzzle.

SharePoint Branding for Grownups, Branding für Erwachsene (RELOADED)

Lange Zeit konnte die SharePoint Online „Modern“ User Experience kaum angepasst werden. Dies hat sich in den Jahren 2017 und 2018 massiv geändert. Mittlerweile ist es problemlos möglich Farben, das Aussehen generell, sowie Anpassungen an dem Aufbau von Seiten, Header & Footer vorzunehmen. Diese Session geht in die Tiefen der Anpassbarkeit und zeigt häufig gewünschte Modifikationen und Erweiterungen (z.B. den Kantinenplan aus einer SharePoint Liste auf einem Fullscreen Display anzuzeigen), sowie wie diese auf einfachste Weise integriert werden können. For quite some time the SharePoint Online „modern“ user experience offered only limited customization capabilities. However, over the course of 2017 and 2018 things have been improved tremendously. Without being an expert developer it is now possible to change colors, the general look & feel, customize page layouts, tweak header & footer, and more. This session dives into the options and shows some frequently requested modifications and extensions (e.g. display the canteen menu using a SharePoint list on a fullscreen display), including how they can be integrated easily.

Zusammenarbeit mit Office 365 im Drogeriemarkt – nie war es einfacher als heute

Mit mehr als 40.000 Mitarbeitern in 3.500 in Europa verteilten Filialen und ca. 8000 Büroangestellten ist der Einstieg in die Office 365 Cloud nicht nur eine technische Herausforderung. Die Modernisierung der Arbeitsbereiche mit Hilfe von Office 365 ist eine Produktivitätssteigerung, die jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter der dm-drogerie markt GmbH und letztlich auch jeder Kunde direkt zu spüren bekommt. Wir beschreiben, wie wir es geschafft haben, IT fremden Kollegen die Angst vor Technologie zu nehmen und sie mit Mehrwerten zu überzeugen. Nicht nur kommunikative Fähigkeiten in unseren Ladengeschäften, sondern auch die unternehmensweite Team- und Projektarbeit in den filialunterstützenden Diensten wurde auf ein neues Level gehoben. Wir erzählen eine Erfolgsstory vom ersten Piloten, über den daraufhin entstanden Sog bis hin zum fertigen produktiven Rollout. With more than 40,000 employees in 3,500 branches distributed throughout Europe and approx. 8,000 office employees, getting started with the Office 365 Cloud is not just a technical challenge. The modernization of the work areas with the help of Office 365 is an increase in productivity that every single employee of dm-drogerie markt GmbH and ultimately every customer can feel directly. We describe how we managed to take the fear of technology away from our IT colleagues and convince them with added value. Not only communicative skills in our stores, but also the company-wide team and project work in the branch-supporting services were raised to a new level. We tell a success story from the first pilot, through the resulting pull to the finished productive rollout.

User Adoption: How to engage your Organization early to make an Impact

Solutions get delivered all the time, but getting the Business to adopt a solution is not automatically guaranteed.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In this session, Antje Lamartine will review common User Adoption challenges based on real-world scenarios and present strategies that will help you engage Business Users early and make them feel included.

Intranets on SharePoint and Office365 – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Description

“What’s the deal with Communication and Teams Sites?”, “Should I use Teams or Groups for collaboration?”, “Is on-premises dead?” Those questions sound familiar? Then let’s talk about the different opportunities on how to orchestrate the core services of Office365 and SharePoint on-premises to deliver an intranet architecture that not only adds value but also drives user adoption. SPFx, PnP and Microsoft Graph build the technology base layer, whereas services like Flow, PowerApps or the Azure Bot Framework take your intranet to a new level. But never forget about the main target: your users must use it on a daily basis. This session gives an overview of the not so techie side, focusing on the tools in the design, architecture and roll-out phase and of course the setup of an ideal intranet project.
