How it works

The Hub keeps no copy of your directory. When you open a page it asks Microsoft for that answer on your organisation's behalf, using a connection you approved once, holds it briefly, and shows it to you. The few things Jinba records itself — your headcount, your requests, the guides — live on Jinba's own server in Australia, backed up nightly.

Read only. The Hub looks at your Microsoft 365; it does not change it. Changes still go through Jinba, with a request you can see.
Nothing is marked up. Licence and headcount figures are what Microsoft and our records say, shown to you as-is. What you see is what you are billed on.
Your data stays yours. Only people signed in from your organisation see your pages. Jinba staff see them too, because they look after them.

Signing in and what you see

Your Microsoft account

Sign in with the same account you use for Outlook and Teams. If you are already signed in on that device it takes one click. A session lasts 12 hours; after that a banner offers Sign in again. There is no separate Hub password.

Your homepage

Every app your organisation has switched on, as tiles. Edit Layout lets you drag them into the order you like, and the Hub remembers it for you on every device.

Who sees what

Everyone in your organisation sees the same apps unless you ask otherwise. An app can be limited to named people — a finance tool to the finance team, say — and the rest of the company simply does not see the tile.

Easier on the eyes

The Aa control in the header switches the whole Hub to a larger-text layout and remembers the choice on that device. Every page works on a phone.

The apps

Each card says what the app shows, where the figures come from and how often they refresh, and gives you something to try right now. Every link opens the app inside this demo.

Team Directory

A searchable phonebook of everyone in your organisation — job title, department, phone, tap-to-call and Teams chat — straight from your Microsoft 365 directory.

Your directory · refreshed every 15 minutes
Keep job titles and mobile numbers up to date in Microsoft 365 and the directory looks after itself. Anyone out of office shows it here too.
Try itSearch for "Priya" and tap her number, or filter by the Finance department.
Who's Out Today

Who is on leave, working remotely or away from the office right now, read from the automatic replies people set in Outlook.

Outlook automatic replies · refreshed every 15 minutes
Check it before you call or book a meeting. Anyone who sets an out-of-office in Outlook appears here without doing anything else.
Try itFour people are out today — Jordan Blake is on annual leave and says who to contact instead.
My Devices

Every managed PC and Mac in your organisation — who has it, serial, model, processor, memory, storage and when it last checked in — with a PDF export for your asset register.

Your device management · refreshed twice a day
Use the export at audit or insurance time. A device that has not checked in for weeks is flagged so nothing quietly goes missing.
Try itTwo devices are flagged as stale, one is a Jinba loan unit, and two spares are held ready for you.
Licence Insights

What you pay Microsoft for, what is assigned to people, and what is sitting unused — at cost, with no markup.

Your Microsoft 365 subscriptions · refreshed hourly
Look before a renewal. Unassigned seats are money on the table; the per-person view shows exactly who has what.
Try itPower BI Pro has 3 of 10 seats unassigned. Open the Users tab to see who holds Copilot.
Headcount

Your billable user count with start dates, end dates and notes against each person, so an invoice is never a surprise.

Jinba's records for your organisation
One rule every month: a person counts if they started on or before the 15th and are still with you on the 15th. Tell us about leavers early and they drop off cleanly.
Try it35 people are billable. Two leavers, Marcus Bell and Elena Voss, show their end dates and why they left.
Secure Score

Microsoft's own measure of how well your tenant is protected — overall, by category and per recommendation — plus MFA coverage, sign-in policies, device compliance and recent alerts.

Microsoft Defender and Entra · refreshed hourly
Recommended actions are listed most valuable first. Review them with Jinba once a month; most are a policy change, not a purchase.
Try itDemo Co sits at 78% against an average of 45%. The top action is finishing MFA — 31 of 35 people are registered.
Sharing Audit

Everything shared out of SharePoint and OneDrive — who shared it, with whom, what kind of link, and where it lives.

Your SharePoint and OneDrive · scanned on demand
The fastest answer to "is anything open to the whole internet?". Anonymous links are highlighted; review them each quarter.
Try itSeven shares across five sites, two of them anonymous — the Q1 board pack is one.
Shared Mailboxes

Every shared mailbox and distribution list, who can read and send from each, and any disabled account still holding access.

Exchange Online · synced twice a day
When someone leaves, check here that their access to shared mailboxes went with them.
Try itEight mailboxes. The Fleet mailbox still lists Marcus Bell, whose account is disabled.
Service Health

Live status of Microsoft 365, plus the email signature services Exclaimer and CodeTwo, with any active incident explained.

Microsoft and vendor status feeds · live
Check here first when something feels slow. If Microsoft is having a bad day, it is not your laptop.
Try itTeams has an advisory about meeting recordings; everything else is green.
Staff Changes

New starter and leaver requests in one form that collects everything provisioning needs — role, licences, mailboxes, devices — and sends it to the Jinba desk with a copy to you.

Form → Jinba desk
Submit starters a week ahead where you can; leavers the day you know. It is the single fastest way to get an account right first time.
Try itSubmit a starter, then open Headcount — they are on the list. Offboard someone and they leave the picker. Nothing is emailed in the demo.
Quick Request

Lodge an IT request in seconds. It goes from your own mailbox to the help desk, so the reply lands in your inbox like any other email.

Your mailbox → Jinba desk
A screenshot and one sentence beats a paragraph. Paste images straight into the editor.
Try itType a request, paste a screenshot and send it. The demo acknowledges it; nothing reaches the desk.
Knowledgebase

How-to guides and tips for Microsoft 365, written by Jinba and kept current.

Jinba articles
Search it before raising a request; many answers are two minutes away.
Try itBrowse the categories — these are the real guides every Jinba client can read.
Password Generator

Strong random passwords and memorable passphrases, generated in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Your browser only
Use a passphrase for anything you have to type, a random string for anything a password manager fills.
Try itGenerate a four-word passphrase and copy it — it works fully in the demo.
Games

Tetris, Snake, Wordle, Minesweeper and more, with a leaderboard for your organisation.

Jinba Hub
A minute between meetings. The leaderboard is per organisation, so the rivalry stays in-house.
Try itPlay a round of Snake and beat Mei's 47 to take the top of the Demo Co leaderboard.

How fresh is it?

Live data is held briefly so pages open instantly and Microsoft is not asked the same question a hundred times an hour. Each page shows when its figures were last read. In the background, the Hub also checks itself every night so problems are found by Jinba, not by you.

live
Service Health and the Password Generator. Requests and staff changes are sent the moment you submit them.
every 15 minutes
Team Directory and Who's Out Today. A new starter or a fresh out-of-office appears within the quarter hour.
hourly
Secure Score and Licence Insights. Microsoft itself recalculates Secure Score about once a day, so a change you make today shows tomorrow.

Sharing Audit scans your sites when you open it and keeps the result for the day.
monthly
A licence snapshot is kept on the 29th as the billing record, and Headcount counts on the 15th. Invoices follow those two dates and nothing else.
every night
Jinba's automated review opens every page as a client would and reports anything wrong to the desk before the working day starts.

"It looks out of date"

Check the last updated note on the page. If the change you expect is newer than that, it will appear at the next refresh above. If it is older, tell Jinba — that is worth a look.

Where your information lives

Your Microsoft 365 data stays in Microsoft 365. What the Hub records itself is held on a single Jinba server in Australia, encrypted in transit, and backed up every night to Jinba's office with 30 days of history.

If something looks wrong

Lodge a Quick Request with a screenshot. The nightly review usually already knows, and the fix is typically a permission or a record, not a rebuild.

Getting the best out of it

1
Make it the first tab of the day. Who's Out before you call, Service Health before you troubleshoot, Directory instead of asking around.
2
Tell us about people early. Use Staff Changes for every starter and leaver. Headcount counts on the 15th, so a leaver reported on the 14th is off the next invoice.
3
Review Secure Score monthly with Jinba. Recommended actions are ordered most valuable first. The top three usually move the score more than the other twenty combined.
4
Run the Sharing Audit each quarter. Look at the anonymous links first. Most were created for one email and never needed again.
5
Look at licences before a renewal. Unassigned seats and disabled accounts still holding licences are the two easiest savings there are.
6
Raise requests from the Hub. Quick Request sends from your own mailbox, so the reply thread lives in your inbox and nothing gets lost in a shared queue.
7
Export My Devices at audit time. The PDF is the asset register your insurer and your accountant both want, with serials and assigned users, dated.
8
Arrange the tiles your way. Edit Layout on the homepage. Put the two or three you open daily on the top row and forget the rest exist until you need them.

This is an isolated demo of the Hub for Demo Co, a fictional organisation. Every figure on every page is made up and nothing here can be changed or sent.
