We are 7 years old!
In July, we celebrated our 7 year anniversary! And what a 7 years it’s been! We’ve helped many organisations take advantage of technology and loved seeing the benefits it brings to their business. We’re also proud to have supported our partners in delivering successful projects, through our training and consultancy services, in Microsoft 365, Microsoft Teams, Contact Centres, and connectivity solutions. We really are passionate about training and supporting organisations to be the best they can be!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. We look forward to helping many more businesses on their user adoption and digital transformation journey in the future.
How’s your Teams meeting experience?
Recently, we carried out research into Teams Premium, specifically looking at its meeting features and how it can improve meeting efficiencies. Here’s what we found:
Teams Premium offers intelligent meeting recap, including AI-generated notes and tasks, and various timeline markers for significant events during the meeting. These features allow participants to focus on the discussion at hand, without the distraction of note taking or tracking tasks during presentations.
Teams Premium also offers customised meeting templates that organisations can personalise to ensure a consistent meeting experience and adherence to corporate compliance requirements. Administrators can brand meetings and customise the joining experience, as well as set custom Teams backgrounds.
On the security front, meeting organisers can apply sensitivity labels to both meetings and shared content, safeguarding information and preventing leaks of sensitive data. They can also restrict attendee lists, disable meeting forwards, control recording permissions, and add watermarks to deter unauthorised screenshots.
If you’re interested in learning more about how you can improve your meeting experience, why not take a look at our Teams Meeting courses, to help your organisation get the best out of meetings. Check out our courses on our website.
Are you wasting too much time in inefficient meetings?
According to research, employees waste 213 hours a year in meetings, the equivalent of 27 working days in unproductive meetings. How many meetings have you been invited to, where no one’s prepared or knows what’s going on, and yet we still attend the meeting! This results in an unproductive workforce. With not enough hours in the day to complete work, because employees are wasting time sitting in unnecessary meetings. The commercial impact on businesses can be significant. Every minute spent in an unproductive meeting is a minute not spent on revenue-generating activities.
By setting clear meeting objectives, well-defined agendas, and post-meeting actions, this ensures meetings are focused, valuable and deliver the right outcomes. Attendees come prepared, which leads to focused discussions and timely decision-making, ensuring effective collaboration.
By getting the most out of the tools we already have available to us, we can save ourselves valuable time, improving meeting efficiency and boosting workplace productivity.
Keep an eye out for our Hints & Tips videos on our socials throughout September, helping you get the most out of your meeting experience 😊

Hints & Tips!
In this edition, we’re focusing on making meetings more efficient. By getting the most out of the tools we already have available to us, we can save ourselves valuable time during our working day.
Microsoft Loop has made it simple to add structure to your Teams Meetings, helping to make meetings more efficient. With the add-in meeting agenda feature, participants will have access to an agenda, collaborative notes, and any follow up tasks all in one place, which can be easily accessed before, during and after the meeting. Assigning tasks with Loop components syncs with Microsoft Planner, allowing you the tick off tasks as they are completed, effectively tracking your progress.
Watch our short video on how to use Loop Agenda, helping you improve your meeting efficiency 😊
Exciting times ahead!
In July we got together for our annual team meeting. It was great to get together in person, to review the last 12 months and make plans for the future. I think it’s fair to say we’re all very excited for the future of Cloud9 Business Services! Of course a team ‘get together’ wouldn’t be complete without dinner and a few drinks to celebrate our achievements!
