So to finish our week of […]

Our fourth feature release ahead of Microsoft Ignite next week (26th-30th) is centred around security.

If you work in a more ‘traditional’ office set-up (and by that I mean a desk and a chair in an office) it’s more than likely that there is a phone system (which looks a little like the one below) sitting somewhere within reach, or at least in sight. Well Microsoft believes that in the […]

If you have had any experience of managing Active Directory, either on-premises or in the cloud, you will know how quickly it can become cluttered. Whether it’s the details of users and machines that are inactive, accounts that have expired or been disabled, or groups made for projects that finished a long time ago – it […]
