It will provide the knowledge transfer and training to support this platform going forward.\r Problems this project will solve\r • Lack of governance and control means Homes England MS365 tenancy exposes the organisation to risk beyond our appetite.\r • Lack of governance of the platform, security controls, taxonomy, labels and metadata, retention policy, and correctly configured Compliance Centre has prevented SharePoint Online being adopted as our Document Management System.\r • Lack of inhouse knowledge and skills means Homes England are not making most of the platform and the opportunities this provides. \r • Department head and programme leads are frustrated by not being able to use SharePoint Online as this has not been certified for a range of use, delaying both process change and efficiency improvements that the platform could support.
