For those of us familiar with ShareGate, we know that they’ve always been all about SharePoint and Office 365 migration. But now that we’ve all moved to the cloud, like me you’re probably thinking about how to scale your Office 365 to a full self-serve environment, without worrying about thousands of groups and teams popping up out of nowhere. AKA sprawl. That’s why the folks at ShareGate developed ShareGate Apricot. It's a solution that helps us automate our Office 365 Groups governance, by allowing us to collaborate with users to keep everyone accountable for the things they create. Their super-simple-to-use, in-app experience lets us lighten our load by delegating group management responsibilities to users we trust. AKA, no more sprawl.
