Boost M365 Governance & Growth for Partners with Orchestry

Written by Orchestry Partner Team | Sep 26, 2025 3:07:55 PM

Today’s Microsoft 365 environments are complex, but delivering exceptional governance services to your clients doesn’t have to be.

Whether you're helping a customer streamline approval, manage guest access, or ensure lifecycle policies are in place, Orchestry gives you the tools to deliver those services quickly, consistently, and without the need for deep custom development. It’s about working smarter and scaling your services without scaling your overhead. 

Here’s how partners can turn insight into action, leveraging no-code automation and packaging it all into powerful, repeatable offerings.

Gain Insight with Health Checks & Recommendations

Before you automate anything, you need a clear view of where the real opportunities lie.

 Orchestry’s Health Checks & Recommendations make this easy. They surface exactly what you and your customers should focus on, without digging through endless admin reports.

Health Checks

Health Checks are time-based snapshots that are perfect for monthly or quarterly business reviews. They highlight critical details like stale workspaces, guest access growth, and potential compliance gaps.

This is where partner extensibility starts to shine. Partners can easily add their own notes or custom annotations directly to Health Check reports, explaining why an issue matters, recommending next steps, or pointing out trends you’ve noticed over time. A standard report becomes a personalized conversation starter, tailored to each client’s environment and priorities.

Adding Annotations

Pro Tip for Partners: Take over the review of the health checks for your customers using Orchestry’s Partner Tools and layer the report with your expert annotations.

Recommendations

Recommendations are live, always-on insights. They work like alerts or a to-do list, that instantly lets you know when a workspace breaks a policy, misses metadata, or violates a naming rule. They also direct you to what needs fixing, based on the priorities you’ve set.

 Think of Recommendations as your always on governance feed. Create custom Recommendations for your customers to spot risks early, shape new service opportunities, and to deliver quick wins for your clients that show immediate value. 

Recommendations Tool

Think of them as your built-in governance assistant and dashboard, scanning your tenant’s Microsoft 365 environment every day and giving you a prioritized view of what needs attention.

Custom Recommendations

What’s more, partners can also create custom Recommendations that reflect the unique governance policies or risk concerns of each client. These can even include your partner branding. Whether it’s flagging third-party tools, highlighting data tagging issues, or noting workspace policy exceptions, these insights help you bring even more value to the table. Over time, they can evolve into your own signature set of governance insights, making your services even more distinctive and impactful.

Once you’ve seen the Recommendations engine in action, highlighting areas like storage waste, inactive workspaces, and risky guest access, the natural next step is to turn those insights into real, visible impact for your clients. This is exactly where Orchestry helps you shine as a partner.

Lifecycle & Guest Management Dashboards in Action

Orchestry doesn’t stop at identifying problems. It gives you the tools to fix them fast and clearly demonstrate the value you’re delivering to your customers.

Lifecycle Management Dashboard

 This is your go-to for workspace cleanup and optimization. It gives you a single, unified view of all workspaces across Teams, SharePoint, and Viva Engage.

You can instantly:

  • Surface inactive or ownerless workspaces 
  • Identify storage-heavy sites dragging down performance 
  • Bulk-apply archival policies to reclaim space and reduce clutter

As a partner, this is gold because now you're not just talking about governance anymore. You’re putting it into action. With every policy you apply or cleanup you execute, you’re delivering measurable ROI your customers can see and appreciate.

 Guest Management Dashboard

External access is one of the biggest blind spots in M365 environments. Orchestry’s Guest Dashboard helps you turn that risk into a win:

  • Quickly audit who’s in the tenant, where they’re from, and what they can access
  • Take action on inactive or unredeemed guest accounts
  • Leverage recommendations to remove potential security risks

For partners, this is a powerful way to enhance your security posture offering, show tangible outcomes, and open the door to important conversations.

Orchestry Actions in Power Automate

Once you know what to fix or optimize, Orchestry makes it easy to act, using some of the tools you already know. In fact, getting started is easier than you think.

One of the most powerful ways Orchestry unlocks value for partners is through its seamless integration with Power Automate.

With a few clicks, you can connect Orchestry actions like provisioning new workspaces, applying archival policies, or managing approvals directly into automated flows. No code, no complexity, just results.

Where Real Magic Happens for Partners

Want to auto approve specific workspace requests? Done. 
Need to trigger archiving based on inactivity? Easy. 
Looking to streamline guest user reviews?  You’re covered. 

With built-in APIs, Webhooks and support for Power Automate, you can extend Orchestry functionality for:

  • Workspace provisioning
  • Approval workflows
  • Guest access management
  • Archival and lifecycle controls

Orchestry supports and enhances automation through a robust API.

  • Deep integration with Power Automate and Azure Logic Apps
  • Ability to be called using PowerShell
  • Secure API access for custom integrations

This ensures IT teams can maintain efficiency and governance without abandoning the tools they already use. Orchestry ships with a powerful API that can be used for more advanced integration and extensibility scenarios.

 Available Endpoints

Archivals

  • Post Force single workspace
  • Post Force multiple workspaces 
  • Get single workspace status
  • Get multiple workspace status
  • Post Assign single workspace policy
  • Post Assign multiple workspace policy

Provisioning

  • Post Creation
  • Post Creation validation
  • Get Request
  • Get Requests
  • Get Job Status
  • Post Approval

Templates

  • Get Query Templates

Webhooks

  • Post Create
  • Get Query Webhooks
  • Delete
  • Post Outgoing Webhook

Many customers utilize webhooks or the API, or a combination of both to achieve powerful additional integrations with external systems like ServiceNow, SAP, and others. With Microsoft-based Azure Logic Apps or Power Automate, it is possible to build advanced approval scenarios, complex archival scenarios, or the ability to integrate other systems as part of an Orchestry process.

Real-World Scenarios That Drive Value

Here are a few ways partners are already customizing Orchestry to add value:

1. Smart Approval Routing

Example of Orchestry + PowerAutomate Workflow

Use case: Legal site requests must go through the legal team, not just a generic approver.
Solution: Use Power Automate to route approvals dynamically based on custom business logic.

2. ServiceNow Integration

Example of Orchestry + ServiceNow Integration 

Use case: Every new workspace request needs to be tracked and approved in ServiceNow.
Solution: Orchestry integrates with ServiceNow, so requests start in ServiceNow, approvals are captured there, and once approved, Orchestry provisions the workspace. When provisioning is complete, Orchestry updates the original ServiceNow ticket automatically, delivering a seamless, fully auditable process.

Additional scenarios:

  • Trigger provisioning from an external system like ServiceNow
  • Trigger archivals from an external system.
  • Extend archivals to move archived content to Blob Storage.

Turn Custom Flows into Revenue-Generating Services 

These custom flows don’t just solve problems, they create opportunities.

You can package them into consulting or managed services offerings like:

  • Provisioning Governance Packs
  • Lifecycle Automation Bundles

Each one drives immediate client value and recurring revenue for our partners. Pair them with Orchestry’s Health Checks and Recommendations, and you have a full service governance solution that runs smoothly, scales easily, and stands out in the market.
