    One Huge Challenge with M365 for Admins – An Example

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    It’s a huge challenge. We have no control over updates, and Microsoft is increasingly releasing new features before they build out the compliance tools that would allow us to manage them. As Tony pointed out above, agents may have critical impacts on current security and data privacy work. No matter, it’s coming. Figure it out. 

    As I mentioned during the ILTA session last month, I don’t see how organizations will function without a dedicated staff to monitor and communicate changes. Consider just how much work is involved in understanding Copilot and all of the compliance issues surrounding the use of AI, then consider how fast Microsoft is rolling out new Copilot features.

    That’s a lot of employees at risk of leaving. After all, why continue to work for an employer who doesn’t appear to care about you? Consider the wording of that survey; they only asked if you feel confident that your employer moderately cares. Not that they care deeply. Not that you feel important to them, just whether there is evidence that you moderately care about their mental health. How much effort does it take to show that you care just a little? Yet almost half of employees don’t see it from their employers. 

    That’s a shame. The improvement is nice, but there’s a long way to go on this
