Sigh. I’m on the team that manages the phone and IM platform for my organization. We are on Cisco Jabber which is admittedly super outdated at this point. Around covid times, we got a new hot-shit CEO who replaced most of our upper management. The new CTO looked at our mature and relatively painless Cisco environment, heard our pleas to let us upgrade to WebEx Teams (Cisco’s replacement for Jabber) and said, “Nope. I had MS Teams at my last job, and I want that here.”
Roll forward five years and the CEO is long since kicked out, the CTO just left, and we’re right around the corner of our AD/Exchange team FINALLY moving us to M365 and giving us access to the tenant so we can START learning what this monster is going to take to manage.
We’re a large financial institution who got dinged to hell in a recent regulatory audit. The pace of change around here could aptly be described as glacial. It was a big culture shock coming here from an MSP after years of Small/Medium Biz roles.

Fucking C-suites…
It took your company 5 years to be at least hybrid joined to Entra? Fucking hell.
