Going beyond the ordinary—usingOffice 365 to thrive in a global market - Office Blogs

I was drawn to Wipfli for the same reason that our clients are: the chance to work with a large, respected firm that feels small and personal. As an accounting and consulting firm, we are in the relationship business, and our firm’s culture of teamwork, communication and respectful, responsive client service is part of our heritage. We call it the “Wipfli Way.” I remember the days when driving a few hours across northern Wisconsin to make key decisions, face to face, was the norm. Today, Wipfli has 36 offices across the United States and two offices in India and we hold ourselves accountable to providing the same level of personal client service, and making business decisions, at digital speed. We are doing this by empowering our more than 1,700 associates with the mobility, connectivity and security of Microsoft cloud technologies, including Office 365, Microsoft CRM Online and the Azure cloud platform. It’s how we fulfill the Wipfli Way and thrive in a global market.

Paid extensions in the Visual Studio marketplace | Brian Harry's blog

It’s hard to believe it but it’s been almost a year since we introduced the Visual Studio Marketplace.  It provides a single point of entry for finding extensions for Visual Studio, VS Team Services and VS Code – and since then hundreds upon hundreds of new extensions have been published.  From day one, our vision was to enable the marketplace to be, well, a marketplace – meaning that part of its purpose is to provide a venue for extension authors to sell their creations.  While I expect the vast majority of extensions will continue to be free, I expect to see an increasing number of high value, high quality extensions to be paid.
