Microsoft 365 Strategy for Establishing a Modern Workplace

enviaM was formed in 2002 from the merger of various regional energy suppliers in eastern Germany. The group includes a total of eleven companies. Therefore, the energy service provider was looking for ways to optimize collaboration tools and an option to reduce costs. To become more modern and attractive to its employees in the long term, it needed new, up-to-date, and smooth communication processes. enviaM needed a detailed strategy with objectives and time-structured milestones. The goal was to unbundle IT and establish a modern workplace based on Microsoft 365.

EnviaM commissioned the design of the required M365 strategy. The collaboration then began with a joint kick-off meeting to inspect the system to be established. There was a desire to establish its own office IT based on Microsoft 365. In this way, an efficient and attractive Modern Workplace was created in the long term.

enviaM received a roadmap that showed the steps in which the changeover could be carried out. A workshop was held on each topic to jointly develop a solution concept for the target specifications. At the same time, Arvato Systems used the resulting information to develop a concept for an overall strategy, including a cost estimate. enviaM received a complete strategy with a multi-layered roadmap, thanks to which it has been able to pursue its long-term objective in a structured manner ever since.
