Customer
Transavia France is a French low-cost airline operating in a dynamic and fast-evolving environment. As the organization grew, the volume of users, licenses, and collaboration spaces in Microsoft 365 also increased, creating a need for stronger and more scalable governance.
Amine Essnabi is responsible for the digital workplace scope at Transavia France, including Microsoft 365 governance and related operational topics.
Challenges
As the Microsoft 365 environment expanded, governance processes that had previously been manageable became increasingly time-consuming. The IT team relied on a mix of native Microsoft capabilities and internally managed scripts, but these approaches became harder to sustain at scale.
Time-consuming access reviews
One of the most demanding recurring tasks was the access review process. It required coordination between IT and business stakeholders to review access, validate permissions, and confirm responsibilities across collaboration spaces. While workable at a smaller scale, the process required significant manual effort and follow-up.
Limited visibility across the tenant
The team also needed better visibility into key governance areas such as workspace ownership, inactive accounts with assigned licenses, and overall resource usage. Without centralized reporting, it was difficult to maintain a clear and up-to-date picture of the environment.
A need for scalable governance
With continued business growth, Transavia France wanted a governance approach that would be more structured, more automated, and easier to operate over time.
“We realized we needed to simplify and optimize the way we were managing these processes.”
Solution
Syskit Point was recommended as a way to address access review automation while also improving visibility across the Microsoft 365 environment. After evaluating the available options, Transavia France selected Syskit Point as the solution that best matched its needs.
Fast adoption and ease of use
The team found the implementation process straightforward, with a quick connection to the tenant and an interface that was easy to understand and use. For a lean IT team, ease of adoption was an important factor.
“What we really liked was the user experience. When you are working on governance, clarity matters. For us, it was easy to understand and use.”
Automating access reviews
Access reviews that had previously required manual coordination are now handled in a more structured and automated way. The process gives the business greater involvement in validating access while allowing IT to oversee outcomes more efficiently.
“Before, we were spending a lot of time following up with people and coordinating reviews. Now the process is much more streamlined, and we mainly monitor the results.”
Better license visibility
Syskit Point also helped the team improve visibility into license allocation and usage. This made it easier to identify accounts that required follow-up and support a more disciplined approach to license management.
Improved ownership visibility
The platform provided clearer insight into SharePoint ownership, helping the team identify areas where governance responsibilities needed to be clarified. This created a stronger foundation for ongoing governance.
Storage optimization opportunities
By reviewing file versioning and storage usage, Transavia France also identified opportunities to reduce unnecessary storage consumption without disrupting users.
“We discovered that versioning settings were generating more storage usage than expected. By cleaning that up, we were able to recover a significant amount of storage with no impact on users.”
