Microsoft Build is an event that here at GT we look forward to every year. Our team are always hungry to see what new features, tools and technologies we can leverage to help our customers do more to enable productivity.
We will be hosting our Roadshow in June this year where we will cover these topics indepth with our clients, however, if there is space you might be able to join. Request an invite here.
Satya Nadella the CEO of Microsoft got us super hyped with the announcements this year, and while there are so many phenomenal topics to dig into we are going to share the top 5 announcements we love.
1. Power Pages
The Power Pages site was down right now, probably due to the entire internet checking it out.
The fact that anyone with an idea without coding knowledge can design a fully functional web page with drag and drop actions is simply incredible. A true WYSIWYG for my old school peeps out there. This will completely lower the barrier to entry for most ideas, which means faster go to market and bigger impact for business.
2. Express Design in Power Apps
Draw an idea on a napkin, take a pic of it, and transform that into a Power App in minutes. That’s right, you can do it with Express Design.
Mock-ups now have real value which lowers time in design, increases flexibility and finally allows for quick turn around.
Now I know this might sound strange to most, why would GT be interested in a powerful, stackable dev PC. Well being able to quickly get new dev’s started on creating solutions this little beast is exactly what is needed. We will be able to get our dev’s up and running in minutes, and productive creating solutions fast. And if they need more power, we stack them up with another machine, how amazing is that?!
4. Live Share in Microsoft Teams
We love the idea of being able to collaborate with anyone and anywhere, but there has always been a missing link. Now being able to share a screen with the room, not just have the presenter doodle away, is simply the future. We cant wait to work on client projects, with clients and get their feedback in real-time with our dev’s and designers on the same call.
I am a big fan of Ready Player One, I have an Oculus rift and now I can live it, every day, all the time. I will totally be that guy jumping on the couch, eating pizza while giving a presentation on Mesh
