#MVPbuzzChat with Michael Blumenthal

In Episode 2 of the #MVPbuzzChat series, I spoke with fellow Office Servers & Services MVP Michael Blumenthal (@michaelbl), a principal Office 365 engineer at a leading broadcast media company in the Chicago area, where he also helps run the local user group. I’ve met Michael a couple times at various events, but had never really sat down to get to know him and his entry into SharePoint — and his transition from a Dev / IT Pro role into more of a focus on end user productivity and adoption, governance, and going back to more of his IT Pro roots, service management. I’ve retweeting many of his posts, as he focuses a lot on awareness — not just sharing news on the latest features, but helping users to better understand the business value of these solutions when applied and used correctly. We go into much of that in the video.
