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.
