Tool Architecture of an Enterprise Microsoft Teams Governance Solution

Written by Cagdas Davulcu | 24 Jun 2022

We show you what to look for when choosing a Microsoft Teams governance tool if you have several thousand information workers.

A good software architecture and product vision can be more important for enterprises than cost

The first criterion you look at is the cost of a governance tool you will have in place. The cost will help you with the speed of the internal approval process because you can justify a low-cost solution more easily. 

But what happens if you make your decision to go with a low-cost solution and you can't roll it out in your organisation for various reasons such as security and privacy? 

Or what happens if you have rolled out a low-cost solution in your organisation that cannot meet the requirements for scalability and dealing with Microsoft 365 limitations? 

As an answer, you have chosen a tool that you either cannot roll out on your Microsoft 365 environment or have to work through multiple support tickets with your team after the roll-out. 

Another result may be that you have to invest a lot of time in maintaining the tool. 

Pay special attention to the following aspects when selecting a Microsoft Teams Governance tool in order to experience a successful roll-out phase and to have to deal with as few support tickets as possible: 

  • Reliability
  • Scalability
  • Maintainability
  • Vision
  • Extensibility
  • Microsoft 365 limitations (Microsoft Teams, Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Graph) 

These aspects are also valid if you have decided to build your own Microsoft Teams governance tool
