The objective of the project is to professionalize, standardize, and prepare an existing Slack environment for future expansion. The Slack environment is already operational; however, it requires structural, organizational, and technical optimization to ensure scalability, governance compliance, and readiness for onboarding additional companies into a shared Slack ecosystem.
This phase focuses on a comprehensive analysis, concept development, and implementation of selected Quick Wins (e.g., SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, auto-start configurations), delivering immediate business value. In parallel, the project establishes a solid foundation for a structured, secure, and maintainable Slack ecosystem that supports collaboration across multiple organizational entities.
