View Presentation

When planning out or updating a Microsoft 365 implementation, SharePoint is still important, but it really needs to start with Teams, and then the underlying SharePoint structure for a big part flows out of that. It's not just answering planning questions, but also ensuring that everyone understands that Teams is much more than a meeting and chat platform.

Topics we'll cover in this session include:

  • Introducing a maturity model on how organizations leverage Teams, SharePoint, Email, and OneDrive
  • Level setting on how they work together
  • Understanding the differences between Standard, Private, and Shared Channels, and the underlying SharePoint site collections
  • Where do standalone Communication and Team Sites fit into the Teams and SharePoint structure
  • Guests versus B2B Direct Connect in Teams, and external sharing in SharePoint
  • Open source scripts and Power BI dashboards to inventory and analyze your file shares, SharePoint on-premises, and SharePoint Online
  • Answering the question - what does a Team and a Channel represent in my organization
  • MindJet as a tool for planning your IA
  • Commercial and open-source solutions for implementing your IA
  • Real-world scenarios and case studies

Why Attend:

  • Most Teams rollouts happened in COVID without any planning. It's time to figure out what you have and what it should look like, to get maximum value from Microsoft 365
  • With AI and Copilot coming fast, it's important to get this right
  • We'll combine the ideas with real-life examples

Key Learnings and Takeaways:

  • How to assess your current Microsoft 365 implementation, structure and governance
  • Access to open source tools to help with this
  • Learn how to apply them to your own organization

Who Should Attend:

  • Anyone interested in getting maximum value from their Microsoft 365
  • Equally valuable for technical and business audiences
