LEADING A JOURNEY
FROM AWARENESS TO
ADOPTION IN YOUR
MODERN
WORKPLACE
WHAT WE
TYPICALLY
SEE AT ORGANIZATIONS:
• A disjointed & risk-adverse culture
• Silos that cause communication
breakdowns & productivity losses
• Inefficient & redundant processes
• ineffective policies & procedures
• Disconnected data points
• Duplicative efforts & waste from multiple
tools with overlapping capabilities

EMPLOYEES WANT TO WORK HOW THEY LIVE.
Employees expect seamless experiences. They crave simplicity, personalization,
and interoperability from multichannel experiences. Organizations that focus
solely on technology to transform their organization experience high failure
rates.
When organizations focus on a human-centered workplace
experience through processes that maximize technology investments
and drive user adoption, they typically see:
Higher Customer Ratings
Higher Profitability
Less Attrition
More Productivity
Reduction in Overtime
Higher ROI
Increase in Workplace Efficiency

Office 365… Lots of Capability that Overlaps

It’s not just a technology project…
Everyone has their threshold for change
capacity.
Be mindful about implementing too much
change at once.
Where feasible, combine changes into a
broader effort to expand/align user value.
Combine with operational and IT roadmap
initiatives.

unique needs. Training approaches that contextualize strategic direction to
build communications and training tools.

At Avanade:
Getting ready for Teams - Infrastructure
2
• Network is the biggest challenge
• Completely different than Skype on-premise
• Quality of service in the traditional sense may no longer matter
• Optimize around internet access close to the user

Microsoft Teams at Avanade
Avanade + Accenture is one of Microsoft’s most mature implementations with 400,000 users
2
• One of first five Microsoft Teams
TAP customers
• First customer to reach 5,000+
users
• Now doing 1,200 meetings per day
on Microsoft Teams
• 16,000 1:1 calls on Teams every
month
• Teams is fully enabled for
collaboration with external
customers and partners
• Custom training for Teams based
on persona (e.g., how to use for the
sales team)

Avanade Skype to Teams Journey
2
• Trend: Meetings are moving to Teams
because of better audio/video
experience
• Trend: IM conferencing is moving to
Teams because of richer experience (e.g.,
channel messages)

Migration to Teams Lessons Learned
2
• Change Management approach can accelerate or impede MS Teams deployment
• Focus on value to end users (efficiency and effectiveness)
• Skype for Business to Teams migration is not a simple technology migration,
understanding different use cases like sales, HR, operations, etc. is critical
• Build transition waves based on user persona (functionality required and change readiness)
• Establish go/no-go criteria for each transition wave
• Technical and user readiness planning and implementation should happen in parallel
• Migration "end state" is temporary – Teams will continue to evolve
