Today on the show we’re talking about upgrades. Ogletree Deakins is a law firm specializing in labor and employment, and over the last few years, Chief Knowledge Officer Dave Boland and team have been working to move from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint Online, replacing their old enterprise search and integrating the firm’s search needs under one banner, all available across a wide selection of devices for a diverse set of users.

This meant, of course, integrating with other firm systems: document management systems, client matters, intranet content, firm expertise, and more, and doing it all in a simple, seamless interface.

Today, Dave Boland joins Pete Wright and Sean Coleman, our senior director of operations, to talk about the Ogletree project, the BA Insight partnership, and lessons learned along the way.

BA Insight announced the immediate availability of BA Insight Search for Workplace powered by Microsoft Azure Cognitive Search. This solution is a first of its kind; it reduces store-by-store search bringing knowledge to users, regardless of where the information is. But, what does that mean for you?

Liam Cavanagh, principal program manager for Azure Cognitive Search at Microsoft, and Massood Zarrabian, our very own Chairman and CEO, are here today to walk us all through the vision in the underlying Microsoft technology, why organizations should consider it, and how BA Insight’s solution creates an incredible opportunity for your users.
