Atidan is pleased to announce the new Office 365 E5 Plan
1. Modern Collaboration
Connecting with coworkers, customers and partners is critical for anyone’s business. Too often, collaboration is blocked by technology silos, competing platforms, distance and security concerns or a solution that might be too hard to use. Our new Modern Collaboration investments center on giving customers a truly real time communications platform, where the cloud enables all forms of meetings, calls and interactive collaboration to work (and be managed) together. Companies increase their reach with customers in a secured platform. These are all investments delivered from Skype for Business in Office 365
2. Personalized Insight
For data to have impact given the sheer volume of information we face today, it must be personalized by intelligent software and tools that understand the context of why people do things, not simply what they do. Our new investments in this area center on bringing that personalized intelligence to bear through two Business Intelligence offerings, one that accrues from any data source and one which surfaces unique insights into how a team or organization is actually functioning.
3. People Centric Compliance
Finally, for an organization to enable these high-value collaboration and insights scenarios, it needs great controls that make it simple for users to protect their data and for administrators to scale permissions as needed. The capabilities we are announcing here present significant advantage in the market, enabling our users to easily keep data encrypted and defend against even unknown security threats while giving administrators best in class control over data access.

The document discusses the benefits of implementing an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution for wholesale distributors. It notes that spreadsheets, while initially helpful, become problematic over time due to errors, lack of controls, and inability to support business growth. An ERP solution integrates key business functions like inventory management, ordering, billing, and reporting into a single system, allowing for real-time data sharing across departments. This eliminates redundant data entry and manual errors while improving visibility into operations and inventory levels.
The pressure to be more competitive is constant. Organizations must battle hard for every percentage point of growth. Yet most organizations have untapped potential within their reach. IT optimization through ERP deployment improves the top and the bottom line of the P&L.
In this webinar, Walter Merkas and Rene Theberge of Withum, explain how spending too little on Business Management Systems ends up costing much more than desired. Managing a business through an ERP is less costly than one may think.

Some say the changes that will occur in the business world in the next five years will have more of an impact than the changes that have occurred over the last 30! To NOT adapt to change is to get left behind.
Investing in change can be difficult. Simply identifying what needs to be changed can be overwhelming. Executing and driving change can appear impossible.
Transformation is possible. By looking at what both exists in terms of current circumstances as well as possibilities, businesses can develop manageable, successful strategies that make the path forward exciting and tactical.
Whether you are aiming to enhance revenue, increase efficiency, innovate, or plan for what lies ahead – in this webinar we discuss driving sustainability and success through operational transformation.
Topics include:
· Breaking down barriers and aligning operations with your future
· Identifying opportunities for growth and success
· Leveraging technology to enhance productivity
· Prioritizing initiatives and next steps
As the European Union (EU) has enacted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is easy to perceive this regulation would apply to only multinational or European companies. GDPR will certainly impact businesses in EU; but it will extend its applicability for international businesses, even those based in the United States.
In this webinar, Daniel Cohen-Dumani and Anupam Goradia of Withum cover what exactly GDPR is and why it is important to your business. We also share practical tips and best practice on how to ensure your compliance.
With more than 85 million people actively using Office 365, enterprises are looking to the platform to provide underlying technology to support knowledge management efforts.
In this webinar, Withum's Jill Hannemann, Principal, discusses fundamentals of a knowledge management strategy and areas where the technology of Office 365 aligns with process and people.
Jill focuses on how different workloads within Office 365 support functions such as sharing, organizing, finding, and retaining valuable, unstructured knowledge.
In this webnar, Withum's Melissa Hubbard, MVP, teams up with CardioLog Analytics and Matthew Bailey, MCT to talk about everything you need to know about the latest Microsoft capability, Microsoft Teams.
This in-depth session covers what teams is, how it can benefit you and how to use Teams successfully in your organization.
In this webinar, we talk about how Microsoft Office 365 can be integrated into the healthcare industry to create a powerful and secure space for your staff to collaborate in.
The overwhelming amount of announcements we heard at Microsoft Ignite this year provided us with so much exciting content to share, we've decided to do a couple of break out webinar sessions on what matters most to organizations.
In this webinar, Daniel and Chris for this webinar talk about the latest news in SharePoint and OneDrive. They review new features, where each of these workloads are headed and what it means for your organization.

Adam Edit
So, before we jump into the meat the session here today, we’d like to take a very quick, one-question poll to determine your experience level with Office 365. This will help us tailor the presentation a bit.
We are going to start the poll now so you should see a question pop up on your screen.
Just a quick 30 seconds to level set who we are and what we do. Portal Solutions designs and delivers digital workplace solutions using Microsoft technologies. Our legacy has been in the sharepoint space, developing custom sharpoint solutions over the last 11 years, with hundreds of deployments. We have more recently been working with our customers to move them to Office 365, helping them with planning/roadmap, user experience design, technical architecture(particularly around hybrid deployments), implementation and support. We have offices located here in the Washington DC area and Boston.
At the end of presentation we will provide some specific on our approach to quickly and cost effectively setting up pilot programs on Office 365.

Lower overall costs to maintain productivity
Retention of Intellectual Property
Everything you expect in e-mail
Microsoft’s responsible for Disaster recover, availability, redundancy (is that a good thing?)
File sharing anywhere at anytime
You don’t have to spend money to reach the mobile workforce, Microsoft is working on it for you
Flexibility in how they can work
Work can follow them (ok this might not sound too exciting for them)
One place to do all of their work
Unified Search – people expect google/ bing experience in the workplace

Game changer for security
Encryption in transit: across the board. SSL/TLS (our own not OSSL)
In addition to the disk-level encryption with BitLocker, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint will provide per-file encryption. With this technology, every file stored in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business is encrypted with its own key, and subsequent updates to the file are each encrypted with their own unique key as well. In the case of large files, the files are split into chunks and each individual chunk has a separate encryption key.
Your organization’s files will be distributed across multiple Microsoft Azure storage containers, each with separate credentials, rather than storing them all in a single database. Further, the encryption keys themselves are encrypted.
By spreading encrypted files across storage locations and physically separating master encryption keys from both content and the file map, OneDrive for Business/SharePoint Online encryption provides a highly secure environment for your data.

Streamlined First Run Experience: Access your notebooks across OneDrive and OneDrive for Business faster with a prompt for Microsoft Account and Organizational Account
Insert Files: Office documents, PDFs, video/audio files can be inserted into your notes, opened with a double-tap, and shared with AirDrop.
Protected Sections: Lock or unlock password-protected sections created in OneNote for Windows.
PDF Printouts: Add a PDF printout to any page and then take notes on it in OneNote.
Organize better: Move pages and sections around your notebooks to get them organized the way you want.
Office Graph – This powers Delve and represents a collection of analyzed signals via machine learning (aka insights) which are derived from user behavior & relationships.
Here are the main blog posts (announcements) related to SPC14:
Introducing codename Oslo and the Office Graph
Purpose
With Groups, we can enable collaboration experiences that weren’t possible before. We’ve integrated Group membership across Exchange, SharePoint, and Yammer to deliver a UNIFIED COLLABORATION experience across the suite.
Groups have their own Outlook/Yammer conversations, calendar, OneDrive document library, and SharePoint site. REPLACEMENT FOR SHAREPOINT TEAM SITES (As we know them today)
Value
Easy for end-users to create – right from Outlook, Yammer or SharePoint
Two types of Groups - Private Groups and Public Groups
Private groups require membership to participate
Public groups can be accessed by anyone in the organization
Easy to browse, search, and join public groups – i.e., a user can open a colleague’s contact card to see what public groups he/she has joined
Groups are consistent across the suite
When you add a person to a group, he/she can easily catch up on all previous messages and active calendar events for the group
Groups will be completely integrated into mobile apps like OWA for devices
Yammer feed and group inbox will show same conversation – this allows all users to work more closely together, whether they live only in email, only in Yammer, or both
A user can “subscribe” to a group which means all of the group’s conversations get automatically copied to the user’s personal inbox and all of the group’s calendar items get copied to the user’s personal calendar.
Benefits of Public Groups (Note: by default, groups are public)
Encourage users to engage in open conversations with other people in the organization
This helps users discover new information and new contacts within their organization
