Microsoft Office 365 Integration Pack for System Center Orchestrator
Automate everyday Microsoft Office 365 administration from Microsoft System Center Orchestrator with Kelverion’s Integration Pack for Microsoft Office 365.
Microsoft Office 365, now part of Microsoft 365, is a cloud-based productivity platform that brings together familiar Microsoft applications and online services for communication, collaboration, content management, and secure productivity. It includes services such as Exchange Online for email and calendaring, SharePoint Online for document management and intranet collaboration, and cloud-connected Office apps that help users work from virtually anywhere.
For IT operations teams, Office 365 introduces new administration requirements. User accounts, mailboxes, groups, service settings, and SharePoint resources often need to be created, changed, monitored, and governed as part of wider business processes. Without automation, these tasks can depend on portals, scripts, handoffs, and manual checks that slow down service delivery and increase operational risk.
Typical Automation Scenarios
- New User Onboarding
Automatically create or update Office 365 services when a new starter request is approved - Mailbox Provisioning
Create mailboxes and apply standard settings as part of a repeatable onboarding or role-change process - User and Mailbox Management
Automate changes that support business demand, such as updating mailbox properties or managing user-related Exchange Online tasks - Service Request Fulfilment
Trigger Office 365 actions directly from service desk requests to reduce queue time and manual administration - SharePoint Online Administration
Incorporate SharePoint Online tasks into wider provisioning, access, or content management workflows - Hybrid Administration Workflows
Coordinate processes across on-premises systems and Office 365 where organisations are transitioning to cloud services or operating hybrid environments
