Slack vs. Microsoft Teams, Tattoos 101, Vikings, Aliens, and Women in Tech

From Nebraska to Florida and now a powerhouse in tech, meet Andrea Patterson. Tune in as we discuss Nasa's Moon to Mars plan, Tattoos 101, the terrible jobs that made us, Slack vs. Microsoft Teams, a mustache named Darius, and a real Viking's tale.

Unified comms and collaboration tools are the modern knowledge worker's Swiss Army knife, but making the most of these solutions is as much about culture as it is technology.

If your boss messages you at 6 p.m., are they expecting an immediate response or can it wait until the next day? These boundaries, already fuzzy in the digital workspace, have become even more difficult to define for those still adjusting to working from home as the new normal. The fix? Clearly defining your organization's communication culture and expectations.

In this episode, Ryan discusses the intersection of workplace culture and Microsoft Teams with Tom Arbuthnot, Principal Solutions Architect at Microsoft 365 Collaboration specialists Modality Systems.

Toms is a Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Certified Master. He stays up to date with industry developments and shares news and his opinions on tomtalks.blog, Microsoft Teams Podcast and email list. He is a regular industry speaker at events around the world.

Electronic mail emerged in the 1960s and, unlike 8-tracks or Woodstock, remains heavily in use today.

Even as usage of persistent chat and video conferencing tools surges, email remains the most popular form of business communication.

For many, that reliance is out of necessity--whether technological or cultural--rather than personal preference.

So, we wondered: What would a month without email look like? We decided to put it to the test.

In this episode, we recap the results of that experiment. With us are digital communication experts and fellow email-deflectors Dominic Kent, Director of Content Marketing & Communications at Mio, and John Yarbrough, Sr. Director of Communications at Lifesize. 

We talk about:

• How we did based on the data (emails received vs sent)
• What tools we used to replace email
• Challenges and wins
• Our takeaways and new habits
