MS Office 365 Management and Reporting

Organizations deploy Office 365, to ensure continuous availability of resources to their employees and enhance their productivity. But this burdens the administrators with the additional responsibility of managing the cloud-based environment as well. Apart from the traditional on-premise Active Directory, they now have to provision and manage users' identities and access to the cloud-based resources, manage the licenses of their cloud based environment. Besides the native AD tools, Exchange management console, etc. they have to struggle with and master the likes of Office 365 admin center (OAC), Exchange admin center (EAC), PowerShell scripting, etc ., to maintain order in both worlds.
