If zoom remains independent, they have a lot of catching up to do with their chat functionality, and other productivity tools to become a meaningful offer.

Julie Cullivan - doesn't "best in class app" but costs money, lose to "it works" but is free from an enterprise POV?

Zoom’s future as a platform is a big and important next phase and why it is exciting. It’s got room to grow on it’s own but the best fit listed here is Salesforce. Seeing what they’ve done with recent acquisitions it would be the best place for Zoom to continue.<br><br>Microsoft is obviously talking about Teams as a platform so one might suspect that would be a fit, but their real platform is SharePoint that has the gravity to pull all into and burn/scar.

Has anyone had any success with evaluating the impact of using Generative AI tools such as GitHub's Copilot on the productivity or performance impact on developers? I see a lot of qualitative discussions about how developers say they are more productive, but how are you measuring that impact?

How do you think AI will disrupt business across industries? Add to my list: 1. Content creation 2. Photos and video production 3. Basic coding and debugging 4. Strategic analysis to be highly complimented

We are dealing with a specific issue in our VDI non-persistent environment, which operates using Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware). We are employing a hybrid join for authentication that integrates ADFS and Entra ID. Here are the details of our problem: 1. Environment: VDI non-persistent using Omnissa Horizon 2. Authentication Method: Hybrid join with ADFS and Entra ID 3. Issue: Users are experiencing difficulties authenticating to Microsoft 365 apps within the virtual machine. The authentication process gets stuck in a loop when attempting to access the smartcard. I would appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have encountered similar issues or have a similar environment working successfully.
