Microsoft Ignite 2020: Top Productivity-Related Sessions

The Microsoft Ignite 2020 website lists more than 800 sessions that were presented live or on-demand during the recently completed 48-hour event. The format first got tested with Microsoft Build and Microsoft Inspire earlier this year.

Productivity was a big area of discussion during Ignite this year and rightfully so, with many enterprises' shift to provisioning and supporting a remote work force. Right now, it does not look like a full shift back to corporate offices is happening in the United States of America. In addition, once that does begin to happen, the expectation is that the work force will be a hybrid of remote and on-site work environments, depending on what work tasks require. That means many employees will be continuing to work from home for the foreseeable future.

This means tools that help an organization remain productive in this hybrid environment is critical. A common theme out of Microsoft Ignite this year was the introduction of features and other enhancements to the company's products and services that enable that productivity for workers across the board.

We have collected together six sessions that will help IT leadership delve into some of the productivity-focused news from Ignite this year. From these sessions, further exploration can be done by utilizing the layout of Microsoft's information page for each session.
