Microsoft Endpoint, Formerly Intune, Then and Now

Microsoft recently renamed Intune to Microsoft Endpoint Manager. This reflects Microsoft's strategy to promote and enhance this tool for use not only as a MDM platform, but to replace SCCM to manage PCs. In this podcast, the moderator will ask the two speakers to tell a little bit about past experience with Intune, what has changed, where is Endpoint Manager in its lifecycle and how would you go about implementing and using this. In addition, they will discuss is this something that your average I.T. admin could set up, deploy and maintain, or would one engage a 3rd party for setup and what are the obstacles?Moderator:@Mark Manoukian - IT Director, Kegler, Brown, Hill & RitterSpeakers:@Chris Owens - Chief Technology Officer, Kraft Kennedy, Inc.@Scott Christensen - Vice President, Professional Services, Olenick

Fostering Innovation the Right Way

When there is a new innovative idea, you want to champion it and deliver on it as fast as possible, but in a responsible way. In this podcast, we will discuss what are some best practices for keeping stakeholders engaged while meeting firm governance standards and security requirements.
Questions from Dan to Nikki: -What methods do you use to solicit ideas? -How do you vet a pie in the sky idea vs. something practical, especially when it may be something deep in the weeds of a legal practice? (Relatedly, how do determine if an innovative idea is one attorney’s dream but not universal?)-When do different stakeholder groups get involved in the project? Are ideas vetted through risk, information governance, finance, etc. before they are PoC’d?-How do you productize your innovative projects?Moderator:@Daniel Pratt, IT Business Relationships Manager, Holland & Knight LLP
