Azure
As last year, Microsoft announces further improvements in Azure Lighthouse. They are talking mainly about support for multi-entity authentication and privileged identity. Microsoft encourage scale projects based on the Azure cloud. Therefore, the series of Microsoft Azure Center of Excellence handbooks is constantly being expanded, containing a set of good practices for projects based on or moving to the cloud. Of course, arming partners with knowledge is not enough. Also from the technological side, you can expect further improvements to help manage the Azure service. One example is Azure Stack HCI, the latest hybrid service that is currently open to the public. Another example is Azure Migrate, which supports server migration and modernization of containerization.

However, in the case of Dynamics 365, you can expect such innovations as Customer Voice, Connected Store and Fraud Protecion.

Microsoft Teams is an extremely fast-growing application, therefore it is an important point in the rich portfolio of various products from Microsoft. What can we expect from Microsoft Teams?
