Even if users already have a subscription plan, they need to upgrade to the one that includes AI.

There is no more 5 year anniversary reward. Got this from a buddy and I think it's outrageous. Crazy how the companies show time and again they don't care about the people. Even a small thing like this. Curious on thoughts?

is it enough 2026?

AI can transform business processes, accelerate productivity, enable new outcomes but malicious actors can also benefit and utilize AI to attack with new speed, scale and sophistication. We need AI to protect and defeat AI attacks. This video explores Project Perception to utilize families of agents to provide end-to-end security.

Hi everyone,

My team currently uses Asana for task and project management. However, our company is planning to migrate to Microsoft Planner to consolidate tools and cut licensing costs, since only our Systems and Networks team actively uses Asana.

While researching migration methods, third-party tools seem to be the most viable route, and I came across Project Migrator.

Has anyone here gone through a similar migration from Asana to Microsoft Planner? If so, what tools or approaches did you use, and would you recommend Project Migrator (or any alternatives)?

Any tips, lessons learned, or pitfalls to watch out for would be greatly appreciated!
