Who this is for
Cloud and Modern Workplace consultancy helps organisations turn cloud tools into a consistent way of working. It suits teams using Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive or Google Workspace that want clearer collaboration structure, permissions, governance and user adoption.
The service is practical rather than product-led. It focuses on cloud strategy, collaboration architecture, information architecture, platform rationalisation, migration planning and the way people actually work with shared information.
Typical pain points
- Files are split between desktops, shared drives, Teams, SharePoint and email attachments.
- Teams channels and SharePoint sites have no clear ownership.
- Users are unsure when to use Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint or email.
- Access and permissions are hard to explain.
- Cloud migration decisions were made quickly and need tidying.
- Users need guidance, not another tool announcement.
What is included
Cloud and modern workplace work may include:
- Review of current Microsoft 365 collaboration patterns.
- Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive structure recommendations.
- File storage and sharing guidance.
- Practical governance for site ownership, naming and permissions.
- User guidance for collaboration habits and tool selection.
- Support process improvement for common cloud workplace issues.
- Planning for cloud migration or clean-up projects.
- Digital workplace standards that support adoption and consistency.
- Process improvement where tool usage is creating avoidable friction.
This service often connects with Microsoft 365 Support and Administration and IT Training and User Enablement. Where sharing or identity risk is a concern, Cybersecurity Consultancy & Security Reviews should be considered too.
What is not included
This service does not automatically include large-scale data migration, full intranet design, records management, legal information governance, custom application development or business process automation. Those activities need separate scoping because they affect users, data, permissions and business processes.
OTUSYN can help clarify requirements and plan a sensible route, especially where the current workplace tools are messy or poorly understood.

- Teams and SharePoint ownership is clearer.

Engagement model
OTUSYN begins by understanding how people currently collaborate, where files live, which cloud tools are used and what support issues recur. The work may start with a review, a focused improvement project or training sessions tied to a specific rollout.
Modern workplace changes need user involvement. OTUSYN keeps recommendations practical, so technical controls, support routes and user guidance all fit together. This can include mixed Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace estates where consistency matters more than platform preference.
Making cloud collaboration supportable
Cloud collaboration becomes difficult when every team invents its own rules. One group stores files in Teams, another uses OneDrive links, another keeps attachments in email, and nobody is sure which copy is current. Support then becomes a matter of detective work.
OTUSYN helps organisations define simple working agreements. That may include when to create a Team, who owns a SharePoint site, where project documents should live, how guest access is approved and what users should do when files are synced incorrectly.
Successful cloud working also needs small governance habits. Site owners should know their responsibilities, old workspaces should be reviewed, and users should have a clear route for asking whether a new collaboration space is needed.
OTUSYN can also help identify where tool confusion is actually a process issue, such as unclear ownership, duplicated files or teams using different approval routes.
Frequently asked questions
Does this service include Microsoft Teams and SharePoint?
Yes. OTUSYN can support practical Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive usage, including structure, ownership, user guidance and administration.
Can you help us move files to the cloud?
Yes, where the scope is agreed. File migration and restructuring should be planned carefully, especially around permissions, ownership and user training.
Is this only for remote teams?
No. Modern workplace improvements help onsite, office-based, hybrid and remote teams work more consistently with cloud tools.
Can training be included?
Yes. Training and user enablement can be included so people understand how to use the tools safely and effectively.
Make cloud work cleaner
If cloud tools are in place but collaboration still feels messy, book a readiness call. OTUSYN will help identify whether the next step is administration, structure, training or a focused clean-up project.
Scope clarity
Delivery is focused on practical improvements, clear ownership and measurable risk reduction.
Advanced specialist services and significant engineering requirements are separately scoped and agreed where relevant.
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Microsoft Intune are used where appropriate as part of broader managed IT and consultancy support.
