Today, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is spreading exponentially across the globe. The effects of this pandemic have been devastating. The disease’s high infection rate has caused nations to go on lockdown and citizens to self-isolate. Thousands of people are being laid off from their jobs and the economy is crashing. Those of us who are lucky to continue working are doing so from our homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a watershed<\/a> moment for the way that our entire world performs work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies who have not previously allowed working from home are now forced to facilitate remote work environments for their teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While remote access can be provided to on-premises systems, this can be expensive; systems and the people who support them can quickly become overloaded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, more than ever, as the entire world changes before our eyes, it is crucial for organizations to leverage cloud technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your organization needs help to strategize and set up an environment that enables your people to work remotely, Regroove can help you get up and running<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, the Victoria Office 365 Users Group<\/a> held our meetup virtually as a webinar on Livestorm<\/a> so that we could share knowledge while maintaining physical distance from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To allow time for sessions that address the immediate needs of organizations that are rapidly adopting Microsoft cloud technology, I am updating you on “What’s New in Office 365” via blog post instead of delivering a presentation at the Victoria Office 365 Users Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post will highlight changes in Office 365 since the last Victoria Office 365 Users Group meetup in February 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temporary Changes to Microsoft 365 Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To support growing demand of Microsoft 365 services, Microsoft is temporarily adjusting how some of their services work (essentially, throttling connection to avoid overload of their systems). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
