What You'll Learn in This Webinar

Your team has probably noticed Outlook starting to look different, or seen the "Try the New Outlook" toggle appear. Microsoft is rolling out the New Outlook to businesses everywhere, and it is gradually becoming the default. The switch itself is simple, but a smooth move takes a little planning, especially when your team relies on add-ins, rules, and compliance tools that need to keep working. 

In this session, ECS CEO Peter Robert walks through what is actually changing, how the New Outlook differs from Classic, and how to make the move without disrupting your team's day. You'll see the two versions side by side, learn which features your team will appreciate, and find out which gaps are worth planning around before you switch. 

This is part of our ECS webinar series. Whether you're switching today or just getting ahead of the change, this session gives you a clear, practical path to making the move on your own terms
