Goodbye, Skype for Business: How to Migrate to Microsoft Teams
Microsoft is finally starting to replace Skype for Business with Teams. For too long these two solutions have coexisted while offering the same main features, such as IM and calling capabilities. However, the switch to Teams is a move toward even greater connectivity, as it can be linked with multiple applications from the O365 stacks as well as with popular applications like Zendesk, Jira, GitHub, and major storage solutions.
Markdown Web Part in SharePoint Modern Experience
Although it might not provide the customization of a Script Editor web part or source code editor, we can see how Markdown meets the Microsoft SharePoint team’s desire to provide additional tools that benefit end users.

SharePoint Modern Experience Page Layout Samples
This year has seen an enthusiasm from within the community and organizations alike in the adoption of the new SharePoint Modern Experience. After all, it makes sense — the interface is clean, professional, and responsive, and the time spent on page creation is minimized. The power users out there know that the Modern Experience is also mistake-proof for the most common end users, as little harm can be done to the site layout or visuals (no more destructive master page or page layout boo-boos!).

Microsoft Released Static Data Masking for SQL Servers
In early November 2018, Microsoft announced the release of a Static Data Masking (SDM) feature for Azure SQL databases and SQL servers, which is great news! Previously, companies had to rely on external software for this since Microsoft only provided Dynamic Data Masking (DDM) capabilities for their cloud services. Let’s take a deeper look into this exciting new feature.
