CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 90 with Norm Young

 

For Episode 90 of the CollabTalk Podcast, the conversation focused on how organizations can quantify the return on investment of their investments in Microsoft 365. Specifically, we talked about the out-of-the-box tracking and measurement capabilities provided through the Microsoft Adoption Score, M365 Admin reports, and the ability to deep-dive into the Microsoft Graph using PowerShell and Power BI capabilities, but how all of that is for naught if you don’t have an idea of what the business wants to measure, and why.

This episode is part of our monthly focus on the latest product announcements on Power Platform and anything to do with data insights, analytics, and automation within the Microsoft ecosystem — or that may connect to or have an impact on the ecosystem.
