Prevent the uncontrolled creation of duplicate and unnecessary Teams and SharePoint workspaces from overwhelming your users and support team
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:
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.
Learn about governance with provisioning pipelines
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.
Prevent duplicate and other unnecessary workspaces from being created with clearly defined governance policies.
Help users consider whether their need for a new container is justified by guiding them through the creation process.
Eliminate the time wasted setting up complex workspaces from scratch every time.
Create and easily update templates to include the standard libraries, content types and even content templates your users need and expect.
Give your users the tools to create their own workspaces without giving up governance control.
Enable a simplified SharePoint team site and Teams creation process with self service request forms which can be customised to the task at hand
