How SharePoint Governance is changing to Office 365 Governance or may I say to Business Governance by the introduction of Azure B2B, Azure AD Dynamic Groups, Azure Information Protection, Machine Learning, Artificial Inelegance and Cognitive Services. And as a result, how the three foundation pillars of information architecture are transforming that has been followed for past 2 decades:
1. Operational Taxonomy
2. Navigational Taxonomy
3. Business Taxonomy
Participants will gain a better understanding of Office 365 platform, its architecture and most importantly, why the experience of Office 365 is completely different than classic SharePoint and how Microsoft is using there Service Based Design concepts to completely transform the world of collaboration.
