Microsoft Teams Health Check Powered by Powell Governance Admin Dashboard

by Emily Houssier

Administering a Microsoft Teams has become an important matter for most organizations. With the growing adoption of Teams, IT departments are facing day-to-day issues. This is why it is essential for organizations to set up good practices for Microsoft teams. After all, it’s the only way to improve user productivity and achieve your goals for the business!

Where are you with Teams sprawl?

As an IT Admin in charge of Microsoft 365 & Teams, you realize that Teams adoption comes with its own set of challenges: too many teams are created, employees feel lost, and you ask yourself if everything is secure and compliant.

From customer surveys, we know that on average you find each employee has been at least creating on average one team. We’ve also found that 41% of these teams could be inactive for more than 90 days, with 22% of them having less than two owners. This is a big concern, even bigger when these teams include guest users.

With Powell Governance, our customers see strong tangible benefits such as…

  • Half the number of teams per employee
  • Half the number of harmful teams (inactive, guess access, public, etc.)
  • Reduce by more than 78% of the IT workload is spent on Teams management

Access a free Microsoft Teams Health Check where you will see real statistics and understand where you are with respect to Teams governance and lifecycle management.
