To avoid imposing further disruption on partners already impacted by the coronavirus, the industry giant is announcing few significant changes to the Microsoft Partner Network at this year’s all-virtual partner conference.

Edge computing solutions are highly powerful and highly vulnerable. Here’s how to protect them.

Called Stay Connected, the free resource distributes advice on tackling immediate issues created by spiking adoption of remote work policies, as well as guidance on longer-term, post-pandemic needs and opportunities.

The new module automatically documents the contents of a customer’s Azure Active Directory and collects configuration information from core Microsoft 365 applications, including Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint.

As businesses gradually return to work and re-evaluate tech needs for the next normal, the distributor and its vendors expect investments in cloud, security, infrastructure, endpoints, and more.
