M365 Weekly Newsletter
Issue #95
☁️What’s on my mind
I’m reviewing all the links I’ve accumulated since this year’s Ignite conference and I have the feeling that this year’s list of new stuff is really big. Microsoft hasn’t rested in the past year and I expect it won’t in the future either.
I don’t want to run out of high-quality links for the newsletter. 🙂
Have a really great day.

☁️Noteworthy (long)reads
Microsoft Syntex – How big a deal is this? Microsoft Syntex is probably one of the most important new services announced at this year’s Ignite conference. To quote Microsoft’s definition of what Syntex is: “Syntex is a Microsoft 365 service that uses advanced content artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to provide an end-to-end intelligent document processing solution for your organization.” I guess managing and governing data without AI is increasingly becoming a mission impossible.
