Andre Thiemann

Andre Thiemann

As a Microsoft Certified Trainer and consultant, I help organizations build a secure, efficient, and future‑ready Microsoft 365 environment. My work focuses on the introduction and rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot, the implementation of AI‑driven productivity strategies, and the improvement of collaboration, processes, and structures across Microsoft cloud services.

For many years, I have supported organizations throughout the entire Modern Workplace lifecycle — from workshops and audits to technical implementation, security hardening, and governance measures, as well as training programs for administrators and end users. This includes Microsoft 365 Tenant Security Checks, Entra ID and Intune optimization, and the implementation of best‑practice security aligned with Microsoft, BSI, and CIS standards.

Another key area of my work is data and permissions management, compliance, and Microsoft Purview, covering data lifecycle, governance, and cloud‑wide transparency — all aimed at creating secure, stable, and manageable environments in Microsoft 365.

As a speaker and community enthusiast, I make complex topics like AI, security, governance, and modern collaboration accessible, practical, and directly applicable. My sessions demonstrate how organizations can design efficient hybrid and digital workplaces, ranging from Copilot adoption and Teams optimization to governance automation using Microsoft 365 built‑in capabilities and AI‑supported workflows.
