MEMPHIS

My name is Chris Blackburn and I am a Microsoft Enterprise Architect, specializing in full stack Microsoft 365 E5 implementations covering Collaboration (Exchange, Teams / OneDrive Sharepoint), Identity (on-prem AD plus Entra ID), Security & Compliance (Defender /Purview), and Modern Endpoint (Endpoint Manager covering SCCM & Intune. Since the fall of 2023 I've helped in building a Microsoft 365 Copilot practice that evolves envisioning, guardrails, and deployment to large enterprises... Being an IT consultant for over two decades I've made it a goal to empower every IT environment I touch and make them the best versions possible. When I'm not client-facing or in my own labs, I'm educating on Microsoft 365 through public speaking, webinars & blogging... My career started in Microsoft Exchange 5.5 / Windows NT 4.0 days, and have worked on projects for small businesses (using all versions of the now retired Microsoft Small Business Server) to large enterprises with over 70,000 users...
