Workspace
Modernisation
Licences are active. Platforms are deployed. But most agencies are using five percent of what they're paying for. Adoption is not a technology problem. It is a delivery and change problem.
The Licence Is Paid. The Value Is Not Being Realised.
Microsoft 365 is deployed across most NZ government agencies. Teams is the default meeting platform. SharePoint holds most of the documents. But deployment is not adoption, and adoption is not optimisation. The gap between what agencies are paying for and what they are getting from the platform is significant - and it compounds every year.
Deployment without adoption
Platforms rolled out, training delivered once, then left to settle. Staff revert to familiar habits. SharePoint goes unused. Teams meetings replace email but workflows stay fragmented. The platform capability sits idle.
Configuration drift and technical debt
Tenants configured at point of deployment accumulate technical debt. Governance policies lapse. Security baselines drift. Permissions expand without review. The environment that passed compliance at go-live no longer does.
No one owns the platform day-to-day
Modern Workplace platforms need ongoing management: licence optimisation, feature adoption cycles, health monitoring, and user enablement. Most agencies don't have a dedicated resource for this. It falls between IT and the business and gets done by neither.
What Most Agencies Have. What They Actually Need.
The difference between a workspace deployment and a workspace that works is not the technology. It is the ongoing ownership, change enablement, and platform management that most agencies don't resource.

What percentage of your M365 licences are actively used?
Most IT leaders don't know. That's the problem.
