Case Study: Reifenhäuser achieves automated Teams governance and reduced sprawl with Powell Software (Powell Teams)

Reifenhäuser implements clear governance for Microsoft Teams and thus achieves more automation and less uncontrolled growth

Reifenhäuser, the family-owned specialist in plastic extrusion with around 1,750 employees, needed to roll out Microsoft Teams across a complex corporate structure while avoiding uncontrolled growth, storage waste and security gaps. To balance local autonomy with company-wide standards and reduce the burden on users and IT, Reifenhäuser chose Powell Software’s Powell Teams to provide governance, automation and an easy-to-use collaboration layer on top of Microsoft Teams.

Powell Software implemented Powell Teams to automate lifecycle management, enforce templates and governance rules, and provide an admin dashboard for visibility and control. The result was immediate and measurable: roughly €10,000 saved in year one, 581 Teams created in the first 11 months with 70 automatically deleted, faster lifecycle management (up to an 80% reduction in admin time), high user acceptance and a clear reduction in sprawl—delivering improved collaboration for departments and freeing IT from routine tasks.
