ShareGate Blueprints takes provisioning to a whole different level. It repurposes over ten years of ShareGate’s unique migration engine into an incredibly powerful workspace provisioning solution. Our customers have been asking for this feature for a long time, and now that it’s here, we can’t help being in awe of what it can do for IT and end users!  Here are some use cases and scenarios in which ShareGate Blueprints comes to save your day:  You turn off self-service because you can’t do provisioning the way you want. Right after that, productivity suffers, and shadow IT is rising.  Self-service means more autonomy for end users. Without it, they might find it harder to collaborate and look for other tools to do their work. ShareGate already enabled you to build solid provisioning plans, a key element in any governance strategy. With ShareGate Blueprints, it’s even easier to toggle self-service back on and see users create and manage teams freely, securely, and with the best associated SharePoint sites possible.  Without an effective provisioning solution, sprawl is all over your tenant.  Sprawl is a serious productivity killer since it can confuse and misinform end users. It also increases costs (for storing inactive teams, for example) and increases security risks since IT can easily lose track of what lives in the tenant. With ShareGate Blueprints, you can deliver purpose-fit workspace solutions that exceed end-user expectations. Using your blueprints, people won’t be creating unnecessary teams, making it easier for you to keep the environment nice and clean.  You can’t modify Microsoft’s native team creation form, making it impossible to collect all needed information and control what you want.  There’s only so much you can do with Microsoft 365’s native solutions, such as creating a team exactly how you want. When you leverage ShareGate provisioning and ShareGate Blueprints, you can customize your template to the purpose of your workspace and the policies and guardrails of your organization’s governance plan. Once you do it, it is one-and-done for all your Teams workspaces.  Even with a provisioning process, you’d still need to tweak the team’s SharePoint site to give it the structure and content required to support its purpose.  Ok, so let’s say you must create a team for every project in your department or organization so people collaborate more efficiently. Creating each team can be time-consuming and frustrating because you could do a quick copy with ShareGate’s Migration Tool—but then you’d need to be an administrator. So, if you realize that specific team sites need the same structure and content, just identify an ideal site as your blueprint. This way, every time users have similar projects, they’ll create their teams using this blueprint, and the proper structure and content will be there, while for IT, the whole process will be less time-consuming, with less back-and-forth and fewer tickets to deal with.  You don’t like the provisioning options available, so you’re considering creating your own with Microsoft’s native apps.  Forget PowerShell and Power Apps. As knowledgeable and proactive as you may be, creating a provisioning solution from scratch would be complex, time-consuming, and expensive. And we’re sure your time is more valuable than that. With ShareGate Blueprints, you’ll get full-circle automated provisioning following best practices and distributing work across your organization within minutes of set up. Then, you can focus on more strategic work.
