Office 365 Provisioning Simplified
Office 365 is a great tool for managing documents, communications, and ideas, but asking users to create or manage Office 365 objects can be loaded with risk and derailed by confusion. Many organisations have their IT teams make changes on behalf of their users, but that can be time consuming and tedious.
Managing SharePoint gives me headaches because…
Using SharePoint gives me headaches because…
-
I WASTE LOADS OF TIME
I have to spend my time creating SharePoint sites for my users, sometimes following a checklist to make them consistent
-
I HAVE TO MANAGE PERMISSIONS CHANGES
I do not want the users to make mistakes, it takes time to fix them
-
MY USERS STRUGGLE WITH ADMINISTRATION
Teaching how to use ‘Site Settings’ is a significant challenge for me
-
SHAREPOINT IS FULL OF JUNK
I have a bunch of old SharePoint sites kicking around, and I am not sure who they belong to anymore
-
THERE IS NO SITE AUDIT HISTORY
I do not know who changed what or why, governance is hard
-
I WASTE LOADS OF TIME
I have to ask someone in IT whenever I need anything changed on one of my sites, this takes time I do not have
-
I AM SCARED I WILL BREAK SOMETHING
I don’t have the confidence to make any real changes to my site
-
I AM NOT AN ADMINISTRATOR
I had ‘Power User’ training… but I cannot remember a thing
-
I CANNOT FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR
I cannot find that site for that project, because I forgot to save a favourite. I will check back through my emails
-
I DO NOT KNOW WHO IS IN CHARGE
I have no idea who is responsible for the content in the sites, neither do the guys in IT
CREATING SITES
Using ProvisionPoint, administrators create living site templates, or ‘Service Definitions’, determining:
-
Where new sites will be created
-
The SharePoint template to use
-
If and when created sites will expire
-
Who can request them
-
The default security model
-
The branding / lists / features
-
Custom fields they want to capture in the request
MANAGING SITES
Each Service Definition also defines exactly what site owners can do with the site once it has been created.
Every action can be tied to an approval process, or simply be switched off. This means users don’t have to negotiate ‘site settings’ anymore, and can confidently manage their own sites whilst you maintain central oversight.
