Need to Know podcast–Episode 324

Along with all the news and updates from the Microsoft Cloud I muse on the fact that the new Microsoft 365 Backup service may have been partially created to solve the storage issues of deleted data in Microsoft 365 environments. Just a theory, but listen along if you like to hear my thoughts.

MVP 2024-25

image

I am happy to announced that I have again been recognised as a Microsoft Most Valued Professional (MVP) in the Microsoft 365 category for a new year 2024 – 2025.

It is always humbling to have such a recognition bestowed. This is now my 13th consecutive year as an MVP and it amazing to look back over that time at all the technology that has changed. On top of that, especially with AI, excitement around technology and Microsoft has never been higher. There is little doubt that in the last 12 months Copilot has really changed the landscape and probably changed it forever.

I’m excited to be part of these changes, now more than ever and being an MVP challenges me to keep current with the technology, understand it and then help others also determine the best way to implement inside their business.

A huge part of being an MVP is being part of a community all around the world who not only so skilled but also so willing to share their knowledge with others, including myself. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve ended up on a MVP blog, video, etc when trying to solve some issue. It is amazing to be part of such a knowledgeable community. All of this is thanks to Microsoft and the MVP program, which again it is an honour to be part of.

I look forward to continuing to doing my best into the future around helping people understand M365 through mediums such as this blog, my podcast and YouTube channel. The core of being an MVP is that you love to help others with Microsoft technology so if you have a question, I’m all ears.

As the journey to the future continues to accelerate I am looking forward to more changes and mind blowing technology from Microsoft, especially around AI. It’s going to be another big year and I am happy and proud to me an MVP.

Thanks again for the honour Microsoft.
