Solu 365 – a controlled way to start and manage work in
Automate project work and document management structures in Microsoft Teams
Consistent ways of working. Controlled provisioning. Reliable automation.
Solu 365 standardizes how projects, sites, orders, deliveries, and other work entities are created as Teams or SharePoint workspaces. The solution ensures that every workspace is created with the correct settings, consistent structures, and aligned with your organization’s operating model.
The entire organization benefits from a transparent and unified way of working. Management gains visibility into collaboration, IT gains control over the environment, and users get a secure and easy way to create workspaces. Teams can work efficiently using tools that support processes within an environment tailored to the organization’s way of working.
Solu 365 reduces manual work, standardizes processes, and improves visibility across projects and teams throughout the organization.
Solu 365 runs on Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Planner Premium, and Microsoft 365 Groups, automating the creation and management of workspaces.
Work starts – but not always in a controlled way
Organizations create new project teams, sites, orders, customer teams, productions, initiatives, and deliveries every day. Without standardized practices, workspaces are often created in an uncontrolled manner:
- information becomes fragmented
- teams are built in different ways
- documents are stored inconsistently
- workspace structures vary
- visibility and tracking are limited
- security risks increase
Solu 365 eliminates these challenges by standardizing how teams, projects, and deliveries are structured.
Solu 365 in practice – from form or integration to a ready-to-use workspace
Solu 365 introduces a standardized provisioning and governance model to Microsoft 365.
It can be easily deployed to create new workspaces via API calls. For example, REST APIs from source systems such as CRM or ERP provide an efficient way to automate information management processes.
Solu 365 is integrated with the organization’s other systems. Typical integrations include ERP, CRM, and HR systems, enabling workspaces to be created automatically when business processes are initiated.
Alternatively, using a dedicated provisioning form, Solu 365 automatically creates workspaces based on user input, including:
- the correct Teams channels and folder structures
- ready-made document templates and metadata
- Planner Standard or Premium project plans, tasks, and timelines
- OneNote notebooks and other tools
- role-based user management and permissions
- naming conventions and lifecycle rules
Additionally, Solu 365 applies classification labels and governance rules according to your organization’s information model.
Each workspace is created correctly from the start, with structure, security, and reporting built in.
A governance model that supports work – automatically
Governance is not just a guideline – it is technically enforced.
Solu 365 defines and automates:
- workspace creation based on data from source systems
- who can create what
- how the workspace is structured
- naming conventions
- required metadata
- ownership
- lifecycle and archiving
The governance model is not just documented – it is enforced automatically in every workspace.

2. Standardized structures and governance

Solu 365 combines workspace provisioning, document management, task management, and reporting into one controlled solution.

- portfolio view across all projects
- resource utilization tracking
- timelines and prioritization
