Quite possibly the BEST of Outlook Mobile

I accidentally came across this new feature ( possibly ) in the past few weeks which is becoming more and more typical of the cloud features of all products, not just Office365. In fact, in the past two months, I’ve learned more about how to use my devices as powerful tools than ever! From the iPhone/iPad space bar feature to use as a mouse to this little DOOZY I’m all set for success.

Summary: Now you can view OTHER people’s calendars on your mobile device from within your Office365 subscription. We have found a way for an assistant to see your calendar up to date in real time on their mobile device. This feature hasn’t been available in previous versions and all of a sudden it seemingly worked without flaw last week. Here is how we found out and what to do.

What to do: Have your user share their Outlook calendar with you by following the steps to share. If you need help just head over to https://ryantechinc.com/portal and we’ll support you. Next, simply open the email on the mobile device you want to see another person’s calendar on that came from the sharing user and click on “open calendar” which will attach that person’s calendar to your mobile device. This is device specific so in my case I had to open the email from my phone, my iPad and a tablet I carry at different times in order for it to be sync’d across all my devices.

This has worked across Outlook for desktop on Mac and PC for many years but it’s the first time I’ve been able to do this on mobile. It is without a doubt the most impactful positive feature that I’ve seen in years with Office365 because I literally LIVE inside my work calendar.

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple. It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry. This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers. Over the years we've invested time in organizations such as EO ( The Entrepreneur's Organization ), IAMCP ( The International Association of Microsoft Channel Partners ) as well as the MCC ( Microsoft Community Connections ) and participated in the Partner Engagement Board for Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference. All of these engagements have brought value to Me as the CEO and the company as a whole however what's most important about these engagements is that it's taught me to h

Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach goes big with RyanTech and Microsoft

April 6-8, 2017 - A NEW kind of auction experience It was a big week last week for RyanTech, Microsoft and Barrett-Jackson auctions. Not only did they auction off over 400 vehicles and generate tons of cash for charities they "unleashed" the cloud in a partnership with RyanTech, Microsoft and BuildFire. Our planning for the event started only 2 days prior to heading out to Palm Beach, FL to support the desire to replace the paper catalog that bidders are provided with a digital one. True digital transformation happened in lightning speed thanks to the interest and approval of Barrett-Jackson's CEO Craig Jackson. Craig has invested in technology for a very long time and certainly holds the award for most innovative in their space. Craig has been utilizing the Microsoft on-Premise infrastructure for over 15 years and in fact even stated in an interview at the auction that he personally built the first server that his companies run on.

HUGE increase in gmail addresses - BAD for your business

First of all, YES, I have a gmail address. I enjoy it! It's used almost every time I buy something online, subscribe to a newsletter and/or I join a list. What does that tell you? It means it's my junk mail email address. And it works so well to deliver my junk to me that I look at it about 24 times a year. Yep, it's on my Outlook calendar to look at twice a month. Usually I get to it and I did this morning. It takes me about 15 minutes each time to scan through all the garbage and only interact with what I need. For this, I LOVE my gmail. Now, ask me where I spend my every day all day? It's not in my gmail. That said, I've seen and have the metrics to show that there has been a HUGE number of companies or people using gmail as their primary work email address and it's KILLING their ability to get to my inbox. I'm nobody special, just a guy who lives in his inbox buying and selling goods for the better of our company. If you are trying to g
