M365 Assessments

project-preview

So your organization has invested in Microsoft 365, yet there is a high probability that you are only tapping into a small portion of the potential offered by Windows 10, Office 365, and the available security/compliance features. Moreover, Microsoft is continuously introducing new capabilities and functionalities, making it essential to maximize the benefits of your investment.

  • Some applications on the platform, such as Teams and SharePoint, have been deployed rapidly in response to the pandemic, but they have not been implemented securely with appropriate information governance. This puts the organization at risk when it wants to collaborate with other partners.

  • M365 has been implemented in a phased or ad-hoc approach, with many of these project implementations not following recommended practice.

  • Many organizations are not fully utilizing the capabilities of the M365 platform and are uncertain about how these capabilities could enhance their business processes. Some examples of these additional capabilities include Power Platform, Sharepoint Syntex, and Microsoft Viva.

How It Works

In order to support our clients in their Digital Workplace journey, our team has designed a standardized assessment that leverages the skills and expertise of our seasoned Microsoft-certified professionals. This assessment aims to evaluate the current status of your tenant and deliver precise recommendations and a strategy for implementing essential capabilities using industry best practices.

At Blerdtech, we specialize in optimizing non-profit and SMB organizations by leveraging our deep domain knowledge and understanding of industry drivers and challenges.

Our M365 Assessment Approach

The Blerdtech M365 assessment typically involves a 2 to 3 week in-depth analysis of your tenant and the price starts at $250. It follows a structured approach that minimizes the effort required from your staff. We amalgamate the findings of our carefully curated Powershell scripts with the built-in reporting within your tenant to generate a personalized report. This report offers guidance and suggests next steps to ensure the best possible alignment between your requirements and our recommendations. Additionally, we will ask you to provide a list of any issues you may have encountered while using the platform.

What Information and Access will you need to Provide?
  • Access to your M365 environment via an audited global admin account

  • Run standard scripts on your tenant (which are safe and will not impact or change any settings)

  • Access to key individuals (like your internal IT team) who are familiar with your M365 tenant and your entire infrastructure overall.

  • Any key compliance, security, or business policies that your organization has in place.
