#CollabTalk TweetJam - Why Do Some Companies Struggle with Moving to the Cloud? Hosted online October 25, 2022

First of all, I can't believe I haven't blogged since February. I'm sorry. I mean, hopefully it only effects me, but I have so much I want to document and I keep not having time. New role, new team, new skills. Too hard to keep on top. Thanks to Christian for the excuse to easily pull together a blog based on these amazing #TweetJams

Speaking @ SUG-DC: Modernizing Gov IT and Securing Collaboration in M365

This past week I spoke at the SharePoint User Group DC (virtually) about collaboration and security in M365.
