The interdisciplinary Swiss engineering and consulting group Helbling is moving to the new Seamless version. The company has been using Seamless since 2020 and has established a clearly structured approval process for creating new SharePoint and Microsoft Teams workspaces — a prime example of well-thought-out Microsoft 365 governance in modern organisations.
What makes the approval process stand out?
➡️ Role-based requests
Depending on their role and function within the organisation, employees can request new workspaces for different use cases — with or without the option to invite external guests.
➡️ Intelligent checks within the process
The approval process automatically verifies
- whether the requesting person is authorised to open a workspace for the selected project, and
- whether a corresponding workspace already exists.
Only when all criteria are met is the request passed on.
➡️ Approval by responsible decision-makers
Requests are routed to the appropriate decision-makers based on a clearly defined organisational logic. The four-eyes principle and structured communication with the responsible parties are therefore automatically ensured.
➡️ Automated provisioning
Once a request is approved, Seamless Provisioning creates the Microsoft Teams or SharePoint workspace fully configured based on the matching templates.
➡️ Technology
The approval process is built on a modern, mobile-optimised Azure WebApp and uses the Seamless Approval Engine via API.
Enterprise feature set for organisations of all sizes
