Office 365 - Why You Need Governance

About This Meetup

With SharePoint, Groups, Teams, Outlook, One Drive, Skype and Yammer all now available at your fingertips, it’s changing how individuals are collaborating together in organisations. Users are empowered with a workspace they can provision quickly, with little to no involvement from IT. However this raises a number of core questions:

1. What services do you use and when?
2. What’s happening out in the field? Who is using what services in Office 365?
3. What challenges are organisations facing with adoption and how to get around these obstacles?

In this session, Blair Hainsworth, will take you through his experience in the region, including:
• Tales of the field, what challenges we’ve seen with current customers
• Industry trends and how organisations of different sizes are impacted
• Tips for building a strong governance strategy
• Potential road blocks with usage and adoption, and how to work around these.
