SWOOP Analytics for M365 will help you better use M365 tools for collaboration to reach better business outcomes.


Reduce email overload - use Microsoft Teams and Viva Engage

Email is good for formal business correspondence, but ineffective for internal collaboration. Combined with attaching files it leads to versioning chaos and duplication.

Reduce email overload:

  • Move internal team collaboration to Microsoft Teams channels.

  • Move internal communication to Viva Engage.


Reduce meeting overload - work asynchronously

Online meetings are fantastic, but too many and people don’t get work done. Back-to-back meetings are exhausting.

Hybrid/flexible work practices means fewer people are working same hours. Having too many meetings is at odds with enabling hybrid work.

  • Move status updates, decision making and more to Microsoft Teams (do polling to make decisions, share dot point updates in Team channels). Post broader updates on Viva Engage.

  • Reserve online meetings for trust-building or more complex discussions.


Get chat right – limit distractions

Chat is extremely valuable, but also disrupts the flow of work. For many, it has replaced email but has the same limitations (organised by recipient and time, not subject and importance).

Hybrid/flexible work practices mean people aren’t all online at the same time and chat messages are assuming urgency.

  • Move important conversations and decision making etc to Microsoft Teams. For example, do polling to make decisions, and share dot point updates in team channel.

  • Post broader updates on Viva Engage.

  • Use chat for tactical, low importance communication/collaboration.


Improve engagement and knowledge-sharing

People spend less time in the office which means less informal knowledge-sharing. Viva Engage has become the virtual watercooler and the only tool that breaks down information/ knowledge silos.

While Microsoft Teams is awesome for one-to-one and team collaboration, it is not good at connecting people across organisational boundaries. Use Viva Engage to:

  • Ask others for help and help others. Post updates on what you are working on.

  • Move internal communication onto Viva Engage. Stop emailing newsletters. Run Q&A sessions with leaders.


Target areas for improvement and measure progress

Unless you know if your improvement efforts are working, why bother trying to improve?

Use SWOOP Analytics to pinpoint which segments of your organisation to focus on. Then drive the best use of M365 collaboration technologies to help segments get maximum benefit.

Seeing how the collaboration score improves over time enables you measure ROI.

For a limited time, you will receive a free custom benchmarking report when you trial SWOOP for M365.

This custom report compares the results of your M365 network with all other participating organisations. We will identify the top collaboration champions in your organisation, along with the best departments in your organisation, so you can learn from those within your own business. SWOOP Analytics® Chief Scientist Dr Laurence Lock Lee will provide a qualitative summary of your organisation’s strengths and areas for improvement.

Custom Benchmarking Report

Transforming how you use M365 for collaboration

SWOOP Analytics creates better workplaces that excel in digital collaboration.
We’re powering a transition from ‘old ways’ to ‘modern ways’ of collaborating.

From: Old Ways To: Modern Ways
Sending and reading high volumes of email. Internal communication is done in Teams Chat, Channels and Viva Engage.
Storing files in OneDrive. Making files available to others in SharePoint.
Spending lots of time in online meetings. Use meeting time for quality interactions, and replace other meetings with Team Channel discussions.
Relying too heavily on chat. Chat for tactical updates, but Team Channels and Viva Engage for work achieving a better balance.
Not sharing with, or learning from, the rest of the organisation. Have a balance between what you work on individually, or in your team, with how much you contribute to - and learn from others - in Viva Engage.
Having video turned off in online meetings. Turning video as much as possible to maximise the ability to read body language in online meetings.
Not sharing content in online meetings. Use online meeting to co-create content.
