When the pandemic hit back in the spring of 2020 and the UK’s office-based workforce became home workers overnight, organisations everywhere scrambled to find ways to keep their staff engaged, connected and to help them collaborate effectively.

Microsoft Teams was an obvious solution, offering innumerable ways to communicate and collaborate with colleagues through a slick, modern interface well suited for today’s ‘work from everywhere’ offices. However, it’s not a content management tool, and, as users adopt it, content gets sprawled across numerous OneDrive and SharePoint locations (and beyond).

If not careful, companies will quickly find themselves with lots of content, in lots of locations, posing challenges for IT to govern, legal to ensure compliance, and end-users to get their work done.

Webinar Agenda

Join a discussion with Eihab Al-Nakib, (Senior Cloud Consultant at Doherty Associates) and Matt Weston (Microsoft MVP and UK Lead Evangelist for Powell Software) to learn:

  • What is meant by Teams sprawl
  • Why sprawl is such a serious issue for IT leaders and end-users alike
  • How companies are combatting sprawl, while still providing end-users with access to first-rate tools like OneDrive and Teams
  • Best-practice governance strategies that can be employed to combat Teams sprawl
  • How to stay compliant and secure with Teams
  • How products like Powell Governance can help IT teams wrestle back control of their Teams environment

There will be an opportunity to ask our experts questions during the webinar, on 28th Sept 12.30 pm – 1.15 pm (UK time).
