The Challenges of Unstructured Digital Workplaces
Remote Work Chaos
Multiple Teams chats and scattered files make finding information feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Broken Collaboration
Every department uses Teams differently (or not at all), making cross-team work nearly impossible.
Security Blind Spots
Inconsistent permissions and sharing settings across workspaces put your sensitive data at risk.
Hidden Costs
Beyond mounting storage costs, your team wastes hours searching for information and rebuilding lost work.
Structure Teams Around Your People, Not Your Files
Transform Microsoft Teams from a chat application into the core of your operations — where routine tasks become automated workflows, scattered information turns into searchable knowledge, and collaboration flows as effortlessly as conversation.
Streamline Collaboration
Implement standardized processes and workflows that make collaboration intuitive and effortless across your organization.
Enhance Security
Build a secure environment with appropriate access controls and self-service options that maintain compliance without hindering productivity.
Proactive Lifecycle Management
Build a self-maintaining digital workplace where Teams and Sites are automatically managed, archived, or retired based on actual usage and value.
Build Better Teams Through Smarter Information Design
Every great team needs the right foundation to succeed. Our Teams First approach to information architecture ensures your teams don't just use Microsoft Teams—they thrive with it. Through a proven five-phase process, we transform your digital workplace into a collaboration hub that helps your team unlock its full potential.
1. Tenant Analysis
We begin by analyzing your Microsoft 365 environment using our M365 Tenant Dashboard. This provides insights into your current structure, usage patterns, and potential areas for improvement. We can identify active sites, address content sprawl, and ensure proper alignment with Microsoft 365.
2. Organizational Assessment
Then, we conduct a detailed assessment encompassing an analysis of the organization chart and an inventory evaluation by examining team structures and collaboration flows, reviewing M365 usage reports, and assessing external system inventories.
3. Microsoft 365 Discovery Workshop
Our implementation team hosts a discovery workshop to align all stakeholders on the interconnectedness of Teams and SharePoint. This ensures everyone understands how Teams First IA impacts document management, communication, and security in the organization.
4. Consolidation and Migration Planning
Our Teams First IA implementation starts with a strategic consolidation and migration roadmap. We guide you through establishing effective channel structures and metadata frameworks while implementing robust security controls for access permissions.
5. Governance Policy Mapping
Theis part of the process includes setting up governance policies for secure external collaboration, followed by a detailed migration plan to consolidate content from your existing repositories into an organized Teams environment.
6. Teams and Sites Provisioning
Once the IA is defined, we implement governance controls, which include setting up Teams and SharePoint sites and the possibility of integrating third-party tools to automate provisioning, lifecycle management, and compliance enforcement.
7. Deployment
Before we launch your new program, we carefully plan every detail to minimize risks and downtime. We'll coordinate each step closely, monitor performance metrics, and quickly address any issues that arise to prevent them from becoming significant problems.
8. Training and Support
Our team will ensure that your team is confident in using their new processes through training sessions. We won’t disappear after launch day. We will provide ongoing support when questions arise and implement improvements based on real-world feedback.
