Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, a world of collaboration was ruled by a mighty platform known as SharePoint. It was the cornerstone of organizational structure, a digital fortress where documents and knowledge were guarded and organized. However, as the digital age accelerated, a new player, Microsoft Teams, emerged from the shadows, and began reshaping the landscape of collaboration and information architecture (IA).

Our upcoming webinar offers a thrilling expedition into this new era, focusing on the evolving dynamics of Teams First IA and Governance, and aligning with Microsoft's vision for the modern workplace. Featuring Peter, Extranet User Manager's President and a 13-time Office Apps & Services MVP, this session promises insights gleaned from his extensive expertise, showcased at global tech conferences. His profound knowledge and practical experience in Teams First IA and Governance are essential for those seeking the forefront of innovation in this field.

In the realm of Microsoft 365 implementation, the role of SharePoint remains pivotal, yet the journey now begins with Teams. This shift signifies a fundamental change, where the SharePoint structure is intricately linked to and flows from Teams. It's a strategy that goes beyond mere planning, underscoring the importance of recognizing Teams as more than just a platform for meetings and chats. Join us as we delve into this transformative approach, navigating the synergies between Teams and SharePoint in the ever-evolving digital workspace.
