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.

Give it a try and if you have any questions or need support, that’s what our U.S. Based Support Team is here for.  Give them a shout by going to our website, click on Customer Portal and submit a ticket.

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...

Cutting Edge Mercedes Dealer in Gilbert, AZ embraces cloud

www.mbgilbert.com facility photo This past month has been exciting for the community in Gilbert, AZ after the long awaited opening of Mercedes Benz of Gilbert when they unveiled their amazing facility. Throughout the period of time that the dealership has been constructed we have been visiting, involved and overjoyed by what the owners Charlie and Audrey Alfano have accomplished. To our delight we have been witness on their use of Cloud Technology like Office365.   When you arrive at the dealership you'll be greeted by an amazing reception, branded water bottles and Free WiFi.  Their sales professionals have an open demeanor and are listeners unlike some of the experiences we've had in visiting similar facilities in the area. The lot is FULL of pre-owned cars and the NEW cars they have on display include AMG super-cars as well as an experience center that reminds me of the XBox displays at Microsoft Stores.  With this experience center you can listen to ...

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.  When I had th...
