The first upcoming one is tomorrow (sorry for short notice!) It is titled “What’s New in Exchange 2013?”

Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 brings a new rich set of technologies, features, and services to the Exchange Server product line. Its goal is to support people and organizations as their work habits evolve from a communication focus to a collaboration focus. At the same time, Exchange Server 2013 helps lower the total cost of ownership whether you deploy Exchange 2013 on-premises or provision your mailboxes in the cloud . In this Webcast, Scott Schnoll discusses the new architecture for Exchange Server 2013 and the new features and functionality in Exchange 2013 that enable organizations to support a multigenerational workforce, provide an engaging experience for users, integrate Exchange 2013 with SharePoint and Lync, meet evolving compliance needs and provide a more resilient messaging solution.

We are excited to deliver new Office Telemetry features in Office 2013. We built this to make the Office upgrade experience easier by helping IT Professionals identify what documents and solutions are most important in an organization, and pinpoint any issues with those documents and solutions that are currently being experienced by end-users.
During this webcast, we will discuss the rationale for this new methodology in the context of streamlining the overall Office upgrade process, as well as discuss how to get the most out of using the new Telemetry features built into Office 2013.
