THE PROBLEM

Teams sprawl is a ticking time bomb

Hundreds of abandoned teams, each with no owner, no policy, no expiration date. Every ungoverned team widens your attack surface and quietly drains license budget.

THE SOLUTION

Automated lifecycle management

Define expiration rules, auto-archive inactive teams, and reclaim licenses, all without a single line of PowerShell. Teams Manager tracks activity and enforces your policies around the clock.

THE PROBLEM

Manual provisioning wastes hours every week

IT admins lose dozens of hours a week to routine team-creation requests. The backlog grows, frustration builds, and the strategic work never gets done.

THE SOLUTION

Self-service provisioning with guardrails

Users request teams through a guided form. You set the rules: naming conventions, templates, metadata, approval chains. Teams get created in minutes, not days.

How it works →

THE PROBLEM

Skip governance at creation, and you pay for it later

Everyone creates teams their own way: duplicate names, missing metadata, no classification. What feels convenient on day one becomes an ungovernable mess by month three.

THE SOLUTION

Templates, naming conventions, and approval workflows

Enforce naming rules, require metadata, and route requests through approval chains. Every team meets your standards from the moment it's created.

THE PROBLEM

Copilot without governance is a data leak waiting to happen

Microsoft Copilot reaches everything your users can see: outdated teams, over-permissioned channels, and sensitive files nobody ever cleaned up.

THE SOLUTION

Copilot readiness: clean up before you switch it on

Audit permissions, flag sensitive teams, archive stale content, and enforce least-privilege access. Teams Manager gets you Copilot-ready before the rollout, not after the incident.

Everything you need to govern Microsoft Teams

From provisioning to retirement, Teams Manager covers the full lifecycle. No scripting required.

Lifecycle management

Policy packages

Bundle governance rules into reusable packages. Apply different policies for departments, projects, or compliance levels.

Approval workflows

Multi-step approval chains with Teams notifications. Approve or reject requests directly from the Teams chat.

Templates

Pre-configured team templates with channels, tabs, apps, and settings. Standardize your Teams environment at scale.

Reporting & analytics

Governance score, activity dashboards, and compliance reports. Know the health of your environment at a glance.

Copilot readiness

Audit permissions, clean up sensitive data, and ensure least-privilege access before rolling out Microsoft Copilot.

Hear from the 40,000+ administrators who trust Teams Manager to govern their Microsoft 365 environment.

The Microsoft Teams system has become simpler and more structured with the Teams Manager.

Sabrina Janta

Head of Process & Product Management, GOLDBECK SOLAR

Sine the integration of Teams Manager into our Teams client, which allows us to create teams from templates, we finally have a fixed and strict process to manage teams, while having a great overview and control over all created teams.

Tim Baumgartl

AZO GmbH & Co. KG

Teams Manager covers exactly what we had in mind. Everything that can be automated is now automated. I can also highly recommend the kick-off workshop.

Matthias Ortner

CDO, GEBRÜDER PETERS Gebäudetechnik AG

The Teams Manager lifecycle in particular provides real added value: we don't produce any data waste here. Teams that are no longer needed are automatically deleted.

Dennis Schwoch

Board Member, DRK Kreisverband Gütersloh e.V.

Teams Manager offers a huge relief for us through lifecycle management. The fact that team owners can regularly decide whether a team is still nededed is a good reassurance.

Katharina Schepker

AEWB

I think the Teams Manager is an ingenious tool, which covers the current gaps of O365 teams with its functions. In addition, with colleagues from Solutions2Share you have a fast reacting partner with whom friendly communication at eye level is always fun.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Teams Manager, from setup to security.

How long does it take to set up Teams Manager?

Most organizations are up and running within 30 minutes. Teams Manager deploys as a Microsoft Teams app. No on-premises infrastructure, no complex installation. Connect your tenant, configure your first policy, and start governing immediately.

Does Teams Manager work with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD)?

Yes. Teams Manager integrates natively with Microsoft Entra ID for authentication, group management, and conditional access policies. It supports both cloud-only and hybrid environments.

Can I migrate from ShareGate Provisioning to Teams Manager?

Absolutely. With ShareGate discontinuing their provisioning feature in August 2025, Teams Manager is the natural successor. We offer dedicated migration support and a 10% switch discount for former ShareGate customers.

How does Teams Manager help with Copilot readiness?

Teams Manager helps you audit existing teams for over-permissioned access, stale content, and sensitive data exposure. Clean up your environment before enabling Copilot to prevent unintended data access through AI-generated responses.

Is Teams Manager compliant with GDPR and ISO 27001?

Yes. We're ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR compliant. Teams Manager processes data exclusively within your Microsoft 365 tenant. No data leaves your environment, and we undergo regular third-party security audits.

What support is included?

Every Teams Manager license includes email and ticket support with guaranteed response times. Enterprise customers get a dedicated success manager, priority support queue, and quarterly governance reviews.
