Jun 03, 2021IT staff headcount for O365 management?
Hi all. I have a customer who is trying to figure out How many engineers does it take to manage O365? I have NO idea how to answer this question because I'm sure that depends on several variables.

Way too many variables to consider here, and hard to give a generic answer. For the initial stages, they can keep their existing staff as they will be occupied with migration/adoption tasks, helping users with all the new features, and so on. As their O365 adoption matures, there might be some space to optimize headcount as on-premises systems are being decommissioned, however they can also consider moving said staff to help with other areas such as Azure, the Power platform, etc.

Jun 08, 2021Thanks so much. That's the confirmation I needed. I pretty much gave my customer the same answer ..."way too many variables, to give a generic answer".
