Digital
transformation
is driving
growth
More than 300,000 organizations have SharePoint
and OneDrive in Office 365, including 85% of the
Fortune 500
More than 65% of all SharePoint seats are now online
(vs. 35% for on-premises licenses)
Growth in active users was 90% in the last year alone
Customers are strongly adopting OneDrive
technologies, with 300% growth in file sync
Microsoft recognized as leaders by analysts in six
Gartner Magic Quadrants and Forrester Waves

Introduction
With so many collaboration options on Office 365, it can
be hard to know where content should sit, and how to
guide employees to making the right choices. In this joint
webinar between Cloud2 and ClearBox Consulting, we
explore the options available and give practical advice on
managing files and team collaboration within Office 365.
• What we'll cover:
• What is good practice for storing and sharing documents on Office 365
• How to explain Groups and Teams to people used to SharePoint team
sites
• Should collaborative documents ever live on OneDrive?
• Collaborating without using documents at all
Making sense of O365 content and collaboration

Making the choice for Content and Collaboration
Keep your own stuff in
OneDrive for Business
If appropriate, put it in a
"Shared with Team", etc.
subfolder to make it available
to your colleagues
1
Put Team and Project content
in the relevant site on your
intranet
This could be a Microsoft Team
or Office 365 Group if you don’t
need sophisticated processes,
metadata and control or a
SharePoint Site if you do
2
Publish stuff you don’t expect
people to collaborate on in an
intranet publishing site
Such as the Communications
Department News site or a
Document Centre
Add Yammer to allow some
collaboration
3
To share externally build a
dedicated extranet
Use a SharePoint site for
control and process.
Use Teams or Groups for rich,
but simple needs
Consider OneDrive for Business
for non-sensitive file sharing
4
If it isn’t a document, or you
just want to talk about a
document, use Yammer
Use Skype for Business if you
need to talk in real-time (Teams
in future)
If all else fails there is always
email
5
Don’t Panic
There are only five places users need to
remember, because there are only five types
of content:
• My stuff
• My Team’s stuff
• Project stuff
• Corporate stuff
• things that belong to the company as a
whole and are probably someone else’s
problem)
• Miscellaneous stuff
• Which is probably one of the first
four, but for someone else; you just
need to find the right person

Questions and Answers
47P
What do you use the wiki for?
 Actually, not much. It’s really simple, doesn’t have actual [[wiki ]]
functionality and is little more than an html editable page.
 We would always use the OneNote notes in preference
48
We have large SharePoint sites with lots of Team Sites, manly for file
storage/sharing. What becomes of Team Sites after migrating to 365? I
understand they will not be a Team or a Group. I think perhaps they
become the new definition of the SharePoint button on the tile
dashboard...?
 SharePoint sites (including those provided as team, department etc. sites)
are not affected when you move to O365. They don’t automatically become
Teams or Groups.
 You can enable Modern features in the sites you migrate.
 It is possible/likely, in future, that you can hook up a Group/Team to an
existing site; however right now the fact that Teams/Groups are in individual
Site Collections means it isn’t currently possible.
 Per Sam’s analysis, Teams/Groups might well become the simple team
collaboration sites for many organisations, where there is little need for
process within them 49
We're keen to switch on Teams for our organisation of nearly 15000
people... any tips for things we should be doing in preparation of that?
What about ways to provision and ensure there is no duplication?
 Think carefully about the lack of visibility and governance that currently exists.
Have a plan for that (perhaps with a query on an admin page to show all Groups,
recent groups etc – that’s what we are developing), backed by a policy and a
process for reviewing what is being created.
 Check out what you might do with PowerShell etc to manage the creation process.
 Develop a plan for which experience is needed for which sites – Groups and
Teams serve a similar purpose but look and feel quite different and the Inbox (with
shared calendar) feels very different to the chat experience.
 Check that a single library is sufficient for what the team needs – you can add
more in the SharePoint site, but these have to be manually added to the Teams
menu 50
Custom Workflows have always been a nightmare. To what extent are
365 Forms an improvement and can other users create/administer
them?
 They are still a nightmare!
 Forms, Flow and PowerApps are all simple tools (in keeping with the other
simple tools Microsoft are putting in O365). If you have a simple need they
are great, but you will experience them ‘fall off a cliff’ when you try to do
anything complex.
 Use them for the right job and you are in a good place.
 Beware the serious limitations of Flow and PowerApps with SharePoint right
now – all sorts of fields types and properties are simply not accessible. Microsoft
are enhancing them for SharePoint use however (at least that’s what they have
promised).
