17 Appspace integration with Microsoft Places makes workplace spaces easier to find and book Appspace has expanded its integration with Microsoft Places to help organisations make workplace information easier to access and use. Wayfinding tools and space reservation features help employees to navigate offices, reserve desks and book rooms. Visitor management capabilities enable organisations to track when guests check in and out, and workplace insights provide data on how spaces are being used. “Microsoft Places helps organisations understand and coordinate how physical spaces are used,” said Brennan McReynolds, strategy and partnerships lead for Microsoft Places. “Working with partners like Appspace extends that information into shared environments, making it easier for people to access workplace details as they move through offices and campuses.” CIS adds over 75 Microsoft integrations to its Hardened Images portfolio The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has expanded its CIS Hardened Images portfolio, adding more than 75 new images aligned with the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association to support secure deployments on Microsoft Azure.
