SnapOn Software Enhances Governance at Bucher Emhart Glass

Bucher Emhart Glass, an international glass container manufacturer faced unchecked proliferation of Microsoft Teams, SharePoint sites, and M365 groups—creating cluttered digital workspaces, governance challenges, and security risks. 

Background 

Client: Bucher Emhart Glass, a century-old glass container manufacturer with sites across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, producing machines for nearly half of the world’s bottles  

Challenge: Over 500 unmanaged Teams, scattered data, duplicate workspaces, and no unified governance. 

Objectives 

• Maximize Microsoft 365 benefits while controlling sprawl: 
• Streamline collaboration tools under one coherent system 
• Empower secure self-service provisioning 
• Enforce IT governance, naming, approval, and lifecycle policies 

SnapOn Software’s Governance Solution 

SnapOn Software implemented its ProvisionPoint (formerly ProvisionPoint 365) across Bucher Emhart's new Microsoft 365 environment: 

Service‑Mode Team provisioning – end users function as members only; creation rights restricted to trained power users  

Automated naming and workspace policies – consistent conventions, structure, and lifecycle rules enforced. 

Security-first setup – solution hosted via Azure in Switzerland for compliance assurance. 

Responsive vendor support – implementation guidance and ongoing custom enhancements provided  

Outcomes:

• Controlled sprawl: Reduced from 500+ to 113 governed Teams  
• Strong compliance: Service‑mode provisioning prevented unregulated workspace creation  
• Governed lifecycle: Policy-driven team creation, archiving, and deletion established 
• Efficient support: Rapid deployment and tailoring by SnapOn’s expert team

Why SnapOn Software Stands Out 

Unique service-mode provisioning empowers control while preserving user functionality  

Localized, secure deployment via Azure in Switzerland maintains data compliance  

High-touch support model ensures smooth onboarding and custom feature delivery 

Final Takeaway 

With SnapOn Software’s ProvisionPoint, Bucher Emhart Glass regained firm control over its Microsoft 365 environment—improving governance, reducing clutter, and securing collaboration without sacrificing usability.
