5 components of MS Teams automation governance model

Introduction

Automation and governance is a winning combination to scale MS Teams collaboration system. With the advent of this new paradigm, we can start tackling more complex tasks and transform the entire MS Teams experience – whether it is application design to application usage. This fusion enables organizations to simplify and accelerate the administrative processes radically and achieve real breakthroughs in short time. But which parts of the governance process should be automated?

Governance components to automate in MS Teams

Microsoft Teams is deeply integrated with other Microsoft 365 apps and effectively enables collaboration among a large number of teams, sites and groups. As a result, governance in MS Teams demands constant monitoring of the ecosystem, enhancement of the architecture capabilities as per business needs and management of the infrastructure in tandem. Consequently, establishing business workflows and processes is increasingly complex, repetitive, and time-consuming.

Hence, to reduce excessive burden on IT and get the best results out of MS Teams, you must primarily focus on automating the five crucial components of governance which we have consolidated all in our single product called TeamsHUB by Cyclotron. Let’s go through them one by one –
