Microsoft Ignite 2020 recap articles

Intro

From all the announcements regarding Microsoft Search this years here are some that caught my attention.

You'll have to bare with me, being a francophone living and a french environment my English still needs work.

Try to do my best by doing something a bit different, so I hope you will enjoy it!

First, why you should look deeper on Microsoft Search

Let me first tell you why Microsoft search with the Graph connector is soooooo cool! Simple, they let you connect disparate systems, external application, azure content and so much more to give your users a unique one stop shop to find anything in a consistent, convenient and customized way. From ServiceNow to Salesforce, Adobe and so much more those current and coming partnership will ensure a seamless search experience.
