Office 364.93

They should try migrating to the cloud.

Saw this in our all IT Teams chat today with people complaining. I just laughed and said oh well that's what you get when you moved from on prem to cloud. At least it was a Saturday, although I think that was by design since it appeared to be due to a change they implemented and reversed so that makes sense.

We recently had a huge outage almost a month ago with RingCentral as well. Our entire call center was down for almost 8 hours due to that crazy outage. I have been with this company 19 years and it was Avaya on prem and never had a single outage, last year we moved to RingCentral and boom less than a year later that happened. The funny thing is they also said they never had that happen that bad ever before either. Thankfully our VP has been around the block and knew to tell the company when we shifted to cloud that we needed to lower our expectations from what we previously had because there's no way you will have 100% uptime with a cloud solution. 8 hours was never expected, though, lol.

Our Techs said that you couldn't buy on-perm exchange anymore. You needed to go with the cloud subscription, which "includes" all the crap you don't want: like Teams.

Atleast, they said didn't make financial sense to pay for Google Workspace + Slack + Cloud Exchange, when MS offered their (lesser) services as a bundle (but the human suffering is real) :(

It's a shame the outage didn't take MSN down with it.

365's OWA, not Outlook. I assume desktop Outlook still works with their Exchange backend because it's just a redirect loop error. They should have it fixed pretty quick.

365’s OWA, not Outlook

You don't need to split that hair. No one's gonna tell the two nearly-identically-named products apart later. While they intentionally named them nearly the same thing so consumers would get confused, I bet they didn't mean like this. But that's where we are.

Outlook is a client, OWA is a web based version of that client. Microsoft is bad at names but I don't see a problem with these tbh

Nice, and this is just after Slack being down earlier this week. Good job cloud people...

Era of clown computing.

[-] singletona@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Got that from Jason Scott

[-] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

I got it from techrights.org, author is a bit wacky but seems to have his heart in the right place.

[-] singletona@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Thus the weakness of 365. No online? No office.

I love the concept. I have for the past twenty five years, but for that same twenty five years we haven't been THERE yet no matter the screeching about 'boradband'

If we were Japan or Korea... Maybe? But give me local within my personal network if not that device any day.

Microsoft would do _much better by offering a self-hosted enterprise model for businesses. They wouldn't have to run all this fucking cloud infrastructure, and they wouldn't be responsible for their cloud being down and stopping multi-billion dollar businesses from functioning.

Business X can simply self-host their office suite and incorporate a VPN to allow tenants to connect to their sanitized local instance of office and access it through the browser. Realistically they're half way there. They already have the application designed. lol

[-] singletona@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

All because they want a 'you own nothing' business model.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Again? There was an outage just a week ago

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

That makes it outlook 363 . So far.

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social -1 points 4 months ago

MS seems to have a lot of outages lately. Maybe they should put more of the IT budget in servers/staffing, and less in AI and Windows nonsense.
