We offer you a series of articles on the findings that led us to build our Drive offer based on feedback from our business consultants working with our customers.
Email as a starting point
When choosing Office 365, it's common to start with email migration.
This migration is simple if you adopt the best practices and follow the recommendations. Indeed, it does not require specific change management or special training for users.
However, it is unfortunate to stop here because Office 365 offers many other functions that could increase your ROI. Surely, if your goal is simply to "move email," mission accomplished. But if you really want to improve the efficiency of your employees and your IS, it is important to identify future uses and build a roadmap integrating all Office 365 services from the outset to offer users the most suitable services.
Enabling employees to be mobile, to work from all types of devices and in complete safety, to improve productivity by adopting new uses, are the objectives of the Drive offer.
Other benefits can be found in Office 365, for example, we meet many companies which is a process of reducing their carbon footprint decide to drastically reduce the exchange of emails by adopting services like Teams or Yammer rather than Outlook/Exchange.
Towards the adoption of new collaborative uses
The promise is enticing, but there are, however, several pitfalls to avoid. One of them is that of wanting to go too fast, too far.
As already mentioned, we recommend even before the email migration to plan the following phases. This is the guarantee for your company of a digital transformation that will bring real benefits in terms of productivity.
A second phase could be the implementation of an enterprise information management and sharing solution. We would then think of starting on a simple SharePoint project, with all the associated pitfalls in terms of time and budget overruns, training, and change management.
The good idea would of course be to use SharePoint in a global approach including related Office 365 services such as Teams and Yammer, new cornerstones of your transformation.
