What Will ENCAMINA Offer You?
1. Governance decision-making workshops on the different services of your organization:
(M365 Envisioning/ SharePoint Online and OneDrive/ Microsoft Teams/ Systems Management and Exchange Online/ Security and Compliance Envisioning).
2. Generation of the decision-making document and its review by the client until its validation:
This document collects the governance decisions taken in the previous phase for subsequent review and will be the basis of the Governance Document.
3. Generation of the Governance Plan:
From the information gathered in the previous point, issues such as the general vision, steps to achieve an effective Governance, systems management, users and licenses, roles and responsibilities, etc., are addressed.
