Tony Redmond is the lead author for Office 365 for IT Pros. Based in Dublin, Ireland, Tony had a long corporate career as an executive and now runs his own consulting company.
Over thirty years ago, Tony began his writing career by creating the “ALL-IN-1 Handbook” about Digital Equipment Corporation’s popular Office Automation product (including email and calendar). Fourteen published books later, ten of which cover the evolution of Exchange Server from V4.0 (1996) to Exchange 2013 (2012), allowed Tony to experience the transition of the creation of technical books from a manual process involving correcting paper galley drafts to the point we are at now with monthly updates for Office 365 for IT Pros. An MVP since 2004, Tony is a frequent speaker at conferences and communicates with the world through Twitter, his Thoughts of an Idle Mind blog, the Office 365 for IT blog, and his regular column on Practical365.com.
