The Experts Conference 2023 Keynote: Tony Redmond & Greg Taylor

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING] Hi. I'm Greg Taylor. I'm a product manager for the Microsoft 365 core engineering team. And I'm Tony Redmond, and I'm a Microsoft MVP and a consultant, and, today, we want to talk about a really hot topic that Greg and I will be debating at The Experts Conference in Atlanta. That's September 19 to 20, which is, has the Microsoft cloud killed on-premises servers? Tony and I have been debating this for a lot of years. We started in 2016, at Ignite, and we were talking then, though, about migrating people to the cloud. This is a bit different, because pretty much everyone's migrated to the cloud. Yeah, you guys have done really well to get 400 million users on Office 365. But the point now is what do people do? Inside Microsoft 365, how do the surviving on-premises customers evolve operationally to stay secure? And, really, is Microsoft pushing users and customers a little bit too far a little bit too quickly to embrace the cloud for everything? So join us at TEC in Atlanta. We'll debate on-prem, cloud, what you need to understand in order to get the most from either. Yeah. We'll have a great time at TEC 2023. See you there. See you there. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING] [BEEP] I'm Greg Taylor. I'm a program manager-- No, actually. I need to change that. [BEEP] So join us at TEC in Atlanta, where we're going to debate on-prem, cloud, and make sure you understand everything you need to know in the future that we're in-- the future that we're in today! [BEEP] I'm not even looking at the right camera there. Look, there's the camera. [BEEP] I'm Tony Redmond, a Microsoft MVP and a consultant. Today, we're going to be debating a little bit-- [BEEP] Yeah, well, I was looking at Greg. OK. Blimey! Prima donnas. All right. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
