Control Microsoft 365 content sprawl

Prevent the uncontrolled creation of duplicate and unnecessary Teams and SharePoint workspaces from overwhelming your users and support team

Your pain: It's too easy for everyone to create yet another Team or SharePoint team site

In most organizations, users can freely create new Teams, SharePoint team sites and their underlying Microsoft 365 groups.

Microsoft makes this process super easy to encourage collaboration, but the downside is that you very quickly have hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of workspaces in your tenant. This results in:

  • Frustration when searching for a piece of content
  • Confusion about which among many workspaces is the one which contains authoritative content
  • Increased risk of data leakage due to abandoned teams and sites

The solution: Guide users through workspace creation with rules and approval

Instead of preventing people from creating workspaces altogether, empower them with continued self-service, but add governance to the process.

Create workspace templates and set the parameters for creation, then give your users request forms with an approval step for specific types of Teams and SharePoint sites.

Why you need Teams and SharePoint governance

Teams and SharePoint are incredibly versatile platforms, but they're designed around the needs of the average user. You're not average.

Gain control of your tenant by putting in place automated provisioning, driven by centrally managed templates and clearly defined governance rules.
