[FAQs]

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Governance in Microsoft Teams refers to the process of managing and controlling how teams are created, used, and maintained within an organization. This includes setting up policies and procedures, defining roles and permissions, and monitoring usage to ensure compliance with organizational guidelines and best practices. Proper governance helps ensure the security and privacy of sensitive information, promotes efficient collaboration, and reduces data loss or misuse risks.

A Microsoft Teams governance solution can provide various benefits, including:

  • Enhanced security and compliance by setting up policies, roles, and permissions to control access to sensitive information.
  • Improved collaboration and productivity by providing ready-to-use, customizable templates tailored to specific roles and requirements.
  • Streamlined administration and management through a centralized platform, saving time and effort for IT and SecOps teams.
  • Better visibility and control over team usage, with monitoring and reporting tools to identify suspicious activity and ensure compliance with best practices.
  • Integration with Microsoft 365 services (Planner, OneNote, Power BI) and third-party tools, enabling a comprehensive and efficient collaboration environment.

Microsoft Teams’ native console is not enough to handle organizations’ governance and lifecycle management challenges while using it for day-to-day work. According to a Gartner study, the increase of collaboration spaces in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and other Microsoft solutions puts organizations at risk of compliance issues, poor user experience, and increased storage costs in SharePoint. Gartner acknowledges that various mature solutions today significantly expand the capabilities natively offered by Microsoft 365, including Powell Teams. Powell Teams provides a comprehensive solution to the problem of Teams sprawl, enabling IT teams to maintain control while giving end users the flexibility of self-service.

Microsoft Teams governance solutions provide heightened security and compliance, improved collaboration with role-specific templates, streamlined administration, increased visibility and control over team usage, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365 services and third-party tools, resulting in a more efficient and comprehensive collaboration environment.
