Repstor custodian brings Microsoft Teams under control  

 

The soaring popularity of Microsoft Teams confirms the intuitive way people want to be able to collaborate today – on projects, ideas, problem-solving and decision-making. But without governance and control, Teams use can create new chaos for information and IT managers.

 

Repstor custodian tackles this issue, bringing new control, templating and lifecycle management capabilities to Microsoft Teams workspaces, just as it does to regular SharePoint collaboration.  It ensures collaboration can happen fluidly in the forums users prefer, but without undermining compliance with information management policy.

​

“Rather than hamper the way people want to work, custodian manages the entire lifecycle of collaboration workspaces and their contents so teams can focus fully on what they need to achieve,” says Fergus Wilson, CTO, at Repstor (www.repstor.com). If users are creating or adding to Microsoft Teams, or sharing Office 365 files with other members, custodian controls what’s possible, so IT managers and information officers don’t need to worry about the types of teams being created, their lifespan or how information is being shared externally,” explained Wilson. 

​

The new functionality is the answer IT managers have been looking for.   As one IT manager put it: “We were daunted about having to configure Teams for each different use case, and how we’d stop content from becoming unmanageable – especially from a security and data protection standpoint.  Then we heard about Repstor custodian.”
