Office 365 Features
Office 365 Reporting Dashboard
There is a new reporting dashboard in the Office 365 Admin Centre. The dashboard will provide you with valuable insights about how the Office 365 services are being used and delivers detail down to the individual user-level, directly in the new Office 365 admin centre. The first version of the reporting portal includes a variety of new reports that provide consistent insights across all Office 365 services, with a highly improved user experience. Enhancements include a new Activity Dashboard, new usage reports and the ability to drill down on individual user activities.
Delve
Delve simplifies finding documents that you have recently worked on, or that colleagues within your teams and groups have worked on, that might also be of interest to you. It reduces the amount of time spent searching for files only referred to occasionally, or having to email documents between team members. To access Delve, select the application icon (top left hand corner on Office 365 portal), then select the Delve icon.

Aurora update
Identity Management Tool Status: Scheduled for Q3 2016
The Aurora Identity Management platform will be getting a refresh in Q3 2016, with a range of new software versions. New features include the ability to reset password via their Defender token + PIN instead of the Queston and Answer profile. This will increase security to prevent social engineering attacks around Q&A profile.
The Admin and User Self Service portal also has a new look and feel. The new version is HTML5 compliant and will work better on 'modern browsers' and mobile phones. Other updates include better integration with Office 365; license management for Office 365 users will be available via the Aurora web interface, so Office 365 management will become more secure and streamlined.
