Is Microsoft 365 E7 coming soon?
The use of Microsoft 365 product suites is now widespread. Since the beginning of the year, Microsoft has been offering new online services on an almost monthly basis, for which additional licenses can be purchased in addition to the M365 plans - even to M365 E5. The question quickly arises whether Microsoft might not bundle these services into an M365 E7 in the future. This article summarizes recent developments and looks ahead to a possible E7 license.
ChatGPT: The software that can do everything? Functional scope as well as opportunities and risks for companies
The topic of artificial intelligence is currently on everyone's lips - but it is far from new. The "logic theorist" was programmed in 1956 as the first "AI software" by John McCarthy to verify mathematical proofs or to develop new mathematical proofs, which he also succeeded in doing.

The importance of soft skills in consulting: What is crucial in addition to technical skills.
Professionally, we at CompliON have the most diverse backgrounds. Some team members have more classical degrees with regard to a job in IT management consulting, such as in economics and computer science. Our colleagues with a more exotic background studied e.g. history, engineering or political science. The range of our (previous) professional experience is also diverse: while some colleagues started as consultants directly after graduation, working for software manufacturers or in IT departments, others gained experience in event management, event sales, as teachers or even at the United Nations.
So what is our common denominator?
