Learn how Microsoft can help you responsibly enable this vision to “Consumerize the IT” inside your company, by safely enabling employees to work and communicate anywhere, anytime, on a device of their choice. The first overview module is designed to paint the entire picture at a 200 level and then the remaining modules are designed to give you 300 level knowledge for specific scenarios across the various products which relate to Consumerization of IT (i.e. how to configure MDM in SCCM 2012). This course is NOT designed to make you an expert in each product all-up after the base is installed (i.e. you won't know how to architect, design, or deploy "Product X").
Instructors | Introducing Bill Anderson a Principle Program Manager at Microsoft with over 20 years of experience in the system management space, and David Tesar a Technical Evangelist at Microsoft with 10 years of experience in the field with a focus on security products.

Bill Anderson and David Tesar kick off the course with the keynote session. This session starts sets the stage on what consumerization of IT is all about. We then do a walk through of a day in the life of a typical user and IT Admin circa Windows XP timeframe (~10 years ago) and then we "consumerize the IT" in this company, showing you what is possible today to enable people to be productive and protected anywhere on a variety of devices. At the end, we cover what an updated IT business policy and strategy might look like in a organization embracing consumerization.
Andy O'Donald joins David Tesar during this session to illustrate how IT can make users within the organization more productive using Office 365. After a brief overview of this cloud-based platform, Andy demonstrates features designed for users then transitions to the administrative tools built to empower IT to customize and control the experience using User Profiles. Finally, Andy describes the processes for Service Updates with Office 365.
