ProvisionPoint Workspaces is a Microsoft 365 governance and workspace management solution designed to control the creation, structure, and lifecycle of collaboration environments such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Groups, and SharePoint sites. The solution introduces structured provisioning processes based on predefined templates and governance policies. It allows organizations to enforce naming standards, metadata requirements, ownership rules, and approval workflows before workspaces are created. ProvisionPoint Workspaces also manages the lifecycle of collaboration environments by supporting expiration policies, renewal processes, and archival procedures. It provides administrative visibility into workspace usage and ownership, helping organizations maintain governance and compliance within Microsoft 365. The product operates natively within Microsoft 365 and integrates with the platform’s security, permissions, and compliance framework.
