3. AGENDA
PSA – Why do you need this? Why can’t I just run Office 2013 forever?
Office Telemetry Dashboard: What it is, what it can do, and the data it provides
O365 ProPlus vs Traditional Office Install
Office Install – XML Files, Scripts, and Demo’s
Demo – Upgrade to O365 ProPlus
Installing and Servicing O365 ProPlus with SCCM - Demo
Best Practices from the Field

4. ProPlus vs Perpetual License
What don’t you get with perpetual license?
Groups
Mobile Apps
# of installs (5/5/5)
Roaming Documents and Settings
1TB ODfB
New Features
Ease of license tracking (won’t fail your audits)

5. Servicing Models, protecting you from yourself
Newly announced requirement regarding office versions accessing Online Workloads
Need to be on O365PP or on a version of Office in Mainstream Support to access Online Services as of Oct 13th, (Office 2016 Perpetual loses Mainstream Support on same day)
If you are going to have to migrate anyways, why not migrate to Office 365 ProPlus?
Servicing Model Cadence Alignments
Windows 10 – Feature Updates 2 times per year (March and September)
Office 365 Pro Plus – Feature Updates aligned with Windows 10 Feature Updates
ConfigMgr – Staying with current cadence 3X per year to keep pace with Intune and Win10

Experience is learning from your own mistakes, wisdom is learning from someone else’s mistakes
Like every deployment, based on your methodology (Test, Pilot, UAT, Production rings)
