“New” to Viva Engage, with over 100 existing M365 Groups (private) – how to approach communities?
Hi,
I have used Yammer in the past (pre 2016) and have refrained and not encouraged usage in our organization due to the very disconnected user experience and also not having the ressources to manage yet another channel of communications.
I want revisit the current Viva Engage situation. I’ve let the Yammer Support reprovision our network for EU data residency, so it’s completely empty. By reading the documentation I would assume we’re about as aligend to M365 as is possible.
It seems like I can create Communities that are connected to M365 Groups by-default, but I haven’t found the other way around.
What am I todo with our existing 100 private M365 Groups that mostly represent organizational departments, project teams, larger organizational topics/interests?
Are we expected to re-create all these groups? Are there any useful “migration” paths/ideas for this scenario?
I’m really not a fan of M365 Groups clutter and also do not allow the creation of groups outside of administrator for this very reason.
any help or further links to other resources are high appreciated.
