Microsoft Teams Governance Tool: Make or Buy

Written by Cagdas Davulcu | 16 May 2022

We will show you the advantages and disadvantages of buying a Microsoft Teams governance solution or developing it yourself on the basis of Microsoft's standard board tools. 

The implementation of lifecycle processes in Microsoft Teams is a familiar topic for many companies. Especially for companies with 500 or more employees, it is important to automate the governance processes in order to avoid sprawl. 

The automation of lifecycle processes can become a problem if you do not consider the following aspects: 

  • Costs (internal or licence costs)
  • Competence
  • Availability of staff
  • Support and maintenance
  • Further development 

    Therefore, consider these aspects for a sustainable decision. 

    With GraphAPI and the PowerPlatform, Microsoft offers numerous options for automating governance processes. 


    On the other hand, there are product providers whose products can save you the implementation and thus relieve your own staff. 

    That is why many companies are faced with the decision to buy a governance tool or to develop one themselves.
