== '''Moving Forward with M365''' ==
 +
 +
 +
By now, most across the GC are using new tools to work remotely. Microsoft 365 (M365) has been introduced across most of the GC, with each Department and Agency customizing its own deployment. 
 +
 +
The M365 roll out may look different from organization to organization at the user level. This is due to careful planning in CIO offices who weigh various factors to plan their department’s introduction to M365. Different features are enabled for use by some, with others choosing a different set of tools.
 +
 +
Factors for these decisions include the size and location of the department or agency, security considerations, the nature of the work they do, their document and information management requirements and network capacity.
 +
 +
In addition, prior to the onset of Covid-19 and our changed work requirements, many departments and agencies were already proceeding with their M365 implementation, while others were planning their move to M365 further into the future. Plans obviously changed for all in the GC, with CIOs adjusting their schedules and decisions. 
   −
'''My Department has rolled out M365, is this GCcollaboration?'''
+
But with  M365, and Teams the most used new tools, there are several options for learning about Teams’ features and applications across the GC that are helpful to all; no matter how your organization chooses to use M365. 
   −
Not necessarily, some departments were already using M365 in their own departmental tenant, or were able to accelerate their plans to do so. Check with your CIO team to find out more about your organizations status with M365.  
+
To start, seek out the training, coaching available through your own Department or Agency. Most have an array of M365 training and support in place that best fits their own needs.
   −
How long will this be in place and will I have access to M365 after the crisis has passed and I am able to return to work?
+
Next, there is a training portal, [https://wiki.gccollab.ca/M365 here you] where you'll find a collection of various M365-related training products. You can click on a variety of tools to get started by application (Teams, Planner, OneNote) and by training material type (virtual training, guides, videos and infographics). 
−
The GC has special access through the temporary M365 tenant, GC Collaboration, for the duration of our need to telework. We expect this situation to be adjusted as we make the move back to our more regular work circumstances. Most Departments and Agencies will likely move to their own Departmental tenant and SSC will work closely with them on this transition. Watch this space for updates as the situation evolves.
+
 
−
+
There is also the “Clicks and Tips” grassroots community on GCcollab, with users from across the GC, with an increasing focus on M365 content. It has plenty of relevant and helpful discussions, posts and information. You can find [https://gccollab.ca/groups/profile/4590555 Clicks and Tips here].
