The focus areas of our technical assessment process are:
an in-depth review of your organization’s readiness for M365 and detailed implementation planning.
Readiness Assessment
We align your technology goals with a clear digital workplace roadmap so you can move forward with confidence. Here’s what’s typically included:
-
Assess your current M365 maturity using the open-source M365 Maturity Model
-
Get a clear picture of your digital estate through conversations with key IT stakeholders
-
Understand how your teams work with information today and where there’s room to improve
-
Evaluate Purview and other tools like Collabspace to find the right fit for your records management and information protection needs
-
Align on your current roadmap and priorities, or define a clear strategy and roadmap from scratch
Implementation Plans
With your vision and priorities aligned, the next step is turning that direction into a clear, actionable plan. We map out the work ahead with structured guidance, timelines, and next steps to move your implementation forward with confidence.
This typically includes:
-
Prioritize and sequence your rollout based on readiness across teams, starting with pilot groups and scaling to an enterprise-wide implementation
-
Establish the foundation for your solution with key plans such as high-level architecture, search and security strategy, migration approach, and communications and training
