A look into the crystal ball - Power BI can do more than just processing data

"Turn data into information!" With Power BI you can create reports & dashboards that bring together data from different systems, processes and applications and these reports present the information in a pleasant format.

But Power BI is more than just a tool to create and use reports. We are living the self-service idea with Power BI, because many reports are associated with very individual business questions.

So we may ask ourselves how our own business will or should develop further or whether an application could support a business process even better than it already does today.

A look into the past, as most reports do, is only of limited help. But think about what if reports also could provide a glimpse into the future? The famous look into the crystal ball can definitely be dared with the technical possibilities already available today.

In this session we look at how reports can bring together the past, present and future and how they form the optimal base for business decisions. You can expect the following topics:
- Brief introduction to Power BI
- Load and transform data with Power Query
- Create a data model of data from different data sources with Power Pivot incl. DAX
- Time analysis of data in a Power BI report
- further topics (e.g. paginated reports, publication and distribution or integration of reports in Microsoft 365 like Microsoft Teams)

Unboxing Viva Goals

Arbeiten Sie heute vielleicht schon mit dem OKR-Modell (Objectives and Key Results)? Es handelt sich hierbei um ein Rahmenwerk, um Ziele festzulegen und Ergebniskennzahlen zu messen. Außerdem wird das OKR-Modell gerne zur zielgerichteten Mitarbeiterführung eingesetzt. Mit Microsoft Viva Goals stellt Microsoft eine technische Lösung bereit, um direkt aus der gewohnten Arbeitsumgebung, Microsoft Teams, heraus Ziele gemeinsam zu vereinbaren und die Bearbeitung der für die Zielerreichung erforderlichen Maßnahmen im Team zu verfolgen. In dieser Session schauen wir uns Viva Goals einmal genauer an und gehen dabei insbesondere auf folgende Punkte ein:
- Was verstehen wir unter dem OKR-Modell?
- Einordnung von Viva Goals in die Microsoft-Viva-Suite
- Anwendungsfälle für Viva Goals aus der Praxis

Launch your modern workplace with Microsoft 365 based on your individual roadmap

Adopting Microsoft 365 requires more than acquiring licenses and setting up users. Many topics should be examined and planned for before introducing the whole Microsoft 365 apps and services to the end users in a company.

In this workshop we will talk about a possible approach, including the following steps:
- Position determination (status quo): Which tools do your employees use today?
- Offer: Which app or service should you select and what are they meant for?
- Evaluation: When is an app or service worth to be introduced to your employees or colleagues?

After answering these questions, your personal roadmap for the launch of a modern workplace will be created.

Are you a bot or a human? - Let's build your first chat bot with Power Virtual Agents

You don't need an app for every scenario. Yes, we are used to forms to be filled out and we love to build apps (e. g. with Power Apps). But chatbots offer a different kind of user interface and can be integrated seamlessly into tools like Microsoft Teams.

Let's talk about how to use Power Virtual Agents (PVA) to build a chatbot. We will check if the options of Dataverse for Teams (especially the PVA app) are different from the standalone PVA service. And after completing and testing we will integrate the bot into Teams and talk about how to prettify our user interface with adapative cards.

AI gives you a superpower - How to get the most out of AI Builder and the Power Platform

AI seems to be everywhere but we often don't know how to use the benefits. Let's check the offerings of the AI Builder as part of the Power Platform.

We will use built-in models, build a custom AI model and use them in flows and canvas apps. We will talk about the common use cases, licensing and best practices. And you also get a checklist to start with your own solution right after the last demo of this session.

Teamwork 2.0: Best Practices für den Einsatz von Dataverse for Teams

Die Zusammenarbeit spielt sich immer mehr auch in Microsoft Teams ab. Gerade in Zeiten der räumlich verteilten oder hybriden Zusammenarbeit wächst der Bedarf an eine gemeinsame digitale Plattform. Ein großer Teil des Informationsaustauschs erfolgt zwar in persönlichen Vor-Ort-Terminen oder Teams-Meetings, aber darüber hinaus wird auch gemeinsam an Dokumenten gearbeitet, Aufgabenlisten genutzt und vieles mehr. Und schnell benötigen Sie im Team auch eine Lösung zur Unterstützung von Entscheidungsprozessen oder zur Nachverfolgung von Informationsständen. In manchen Fällen reicht es aus, sich der Standardfunktionen von Microsoft Teams, Planner & Co. zu bedienen. Manchmal braucht es aber auch eine individuelle Lösung; hierfür wurde Dataverse for Teams geschaffen. Hiermit haben Sie und Ihre Teams die Möglichkeit, schnell und einfach eigene Apps zu erstellen und diese im Team zu nutzen. Und wenn ein anderes Team den selben Bedarf hat, lässt sich diese App auch dort nutzen. Wir gehen in dieser Session insbesondere auf folgende Themen ein:
- Typische Anwendungsfälle in einem Team
- Einführung in Dataverse for Teams
- Live-Demo ausgewählter Szenarien
- Governance und Zusammenarbeit mit den IT-Verantwortlichen Ihres Unternehmens

Quick-Win-Lösungen für die Zusammenarbeit auf räumlicher Distanz mit der Power Platform

Fragen Sie sich auch manchmal, ob es für einen bestimmten Prozess in Ihrem Arbeitsalltag nicht eine bessere Lösung geben kann? Das kann ein Papierformular sein, das mühsam seinen Weg durch die Hauspost finden muss bis letzten Endes ein Urlaubsantrag genehmigt ist. Das kann aber auch eine fehlende Unterstützung in der Zusammenarbeit eines Teams sein; zum Beispiel um Entscheidungen zu fällen oder die unterschiedlichen Informationsbedürfnisse eines Projektteams zu stillen. Die Power Platform ermöglicht es, auch ohne Entwickler-Skills, eigene Lösungen zu erstellen; doch wie fängt man am besten an? Auf genau diese Themen gehen wir ein:
- Einführung in die Power Platform und Dataverse (for Teams)
- Lösungen ohne Programmierkenntnisse erstellen
- Live-Demo: Eine Quick-Win-Lösung mit Power Apps und Power Automate erstellen

Lernmanagement aktiv in den Unternehmensalltag integrieren mit Microsoft 365

„Wer aufhört besser zu werden, hat aufgehört gut zu sein.“ (Philip Rosenthal) In diesem Webinar möchten wir die Bedeutung eines aktiven Lernmanagements im Unternehmen vorstellen und Lösungsoptionen auf Basis von Microsoft 365 aufzeigen.

- Was bedeutet aktives Lernmanagement und warum ist es für Ihr Unternehmen wichtig?
- Welche verschiedenen Vorgehensweisen sind denkbar?
- Welche Lösungen gibt es auf dem Markt?
- Live-Demo verschiedener Beispiele aus dem Microsoft-365-Umfeld

Besser im Team(s) arbeiten - Best-Practices aus dem Arbeitsalltag

Microsoft Teams ist das Betriebssystem der Zukunft für Zusammenarbeit und Kommunikation im Unternehmen. Doch mit steigendem Funktionsumfang wächst auch die Komplexität. Wir zeigen Ihnen, wie sie produktiver und mit mehr Spaß Microsoft Teams nutzen können:
- Tipps & Tricks für Chats, Anrufe und Besprechungen
- Nützliche Apps von Microsoft oder Drittanbietern
- Ausblick auf angekündigte Funktionsänderungen oder -erweiterungen

Erstellen Sie in wenigen Schritten Ihre erste App mit einer mobilen Lagekarte auf Basis der Power Pl

Die Entwicklung von Apps wird häufig mit enormem Aufwand und fundierten Programmierkenntnissen assoziiert. Mit der Power Platform und insbesondere Power Apps erhalten Sie ein mächtiges Werkzeug, mit dem Sie schnell und einfach Geschäftsanwendungen entwickeln können.
In dieser Session erfahren Sie, wie Sie im Handumdrehen eigene Apps mit Power Apps erstellen und darin eine mobile Lagekarte integrieren. So können Sie zum Beispiel anschaulich die geographische Verteilung Ihres Teams darstellen. Wir gehen dabei auch auf weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten mobiler Lagekarten ein und beleuchten wie Sie Ihre Apps mit Geospatial Features erweitern können:
- In welchen Szenarien kann eine mobile Lagekarte hilfreich sein?
- Wie erstelle ich meine erste PowerApp?
- Live-Demo: Wie erweitere ich meine App um eine mobile Lagekarte und wo finde ich weitere Informationen über die sogenannten Geospatial Features?

Let's go to the next level of collaboration with Mesh for Teams!

We all learned to use Microsoft Teams for our daily meetings with colleagues, customers and partners. Yes, we can talk to each other, we can stay in contact and many things are working in this remote scenario which seemed to be impossible. But it's still not the same. Mixed reality can help with the emotional part which is missing in Teams meetings where you watch your screen the whole day. Microsoft Mesh offers a new level of remote meetings and we will cover the different options. We will talk about the following questions:
- What is Microsoft Mesh for Teams about?
- How can I start my first immersive meeting?
- Do I need a headset to attend such a meeting?
- What can we do to establish Mesh for Teams in my company?

How to enjoy hybrid work with Collaborative Apps in Microsoft Teams!

We are used to remote work scenarios due to the pandemic. But what will be after? Probably, not everybody will return to the office. This is the time of hybrid work and we need solutions to work together as a virtual team while having sub teams in the same location.
Collaborative apps can be part of the solution as they help us to feel as we all are together. Think about the effect of the Together Mode in Teams meetings and the fun while using the whiteboard app. There is so much more to come and so many options to build custom collaborative apps.
