Envision IT is returning to the European Collaboration Summit in 2025—the largest conference focused on Modern Work, Microsoft 365, and Copilot. If you are attending, don't miss Peter Carson's session on Microsoft Teams and how organizations can leverage this tool to foster a more collaborative environment.


Teams First Information Architecture and Governance

Information Architecture planning has been an important topic for many years. Previously, we focused on SharePoint as the ideal document repository for organizations to standardize. Over the last few years, though, Teams has become the primary focus of collaboration for many. This session will focus on collaboration and Microsoft's vision for the modern workplace.

SharePoint is still important when planning or updating a Microsoft 365 implementation, but it really needs to start with Teams. The underlying SharePoint structure flows out of that. It's not just answering planning questions but also ensuring that everyone understands that Teams is much more than a meeting and chat platform.

Topics we'll cover in this session include:

  •  Introducing a maturity model of how organizations leverage Teams, SharePoint, Email, and OneDrive
  • Level setting on how the various Microsoft 365 tools work together
  • Understanding the differences between Standard, Private, and Shared Channels and the underlying SharePoint site collections
  • Where do standalone Communication and Team Sites fit into the Teams and SharePoint structure?
  • Guests versus B2B Direct Connect in Teams and external sharing in SharePoint
  • Answering the question - what does a Team and a Channel represent in my organization?
  • MindJet as a tool for planning your information architecture
  • Commercial and open-source Teams governance tools
  • Real-world scenarios and case studies
