A poorly governed Microsoft 365 environment has a number of characteristics:

  • A lack of governance and access control
  • Cluttered environment that confuses and frustrates end users
  • An inability to properly leverage M365 services based on governance concerns

Governing your environment can bring great benefits:

  • Fully realized Microsoft 365 environment
  • Simple, manageable user experience
  • Security and controlled access
  • Compliance with rules and regulations
