Technical Project Management at CHG Meridian AG

  • CHG Meridian AG is a financial company focused on leasing in the areas of IT technology, logistics and medical technology and is regulated by BaFin. One part of the company is Return to Remarketing, where devices delivered to the technology center (notebooks, smartphones, tablets, etc.) are prepared for resale. The project I supported was responsible for enabling damage assessment of returned lease devices, documenting them visually in the form of pictures, enabling invoicing for the customer, and making the pictures available via the in-house customer platform. This was achieved through a combination of in-house development within the internal development department and the use of SaaS products. The second project was the transition of SaaS tendering software, purchased by the business unit, into the operations of the CHG IT department. Evaluation of security questions in relation to BaFin requirements, development of an authorization concept, implementation of single sign-on, documentation of the application in the CHG systems (CMDB, iKnow, etc.) and handover into operations.

About the technology

Collaboration platform

Microsoft Teams combines persistent chat, audio and video meetings, file sharing, calendars and team workspaces in one Microsoft 365 environment. Companies use it to coordinate projects, support hybrid work and give internal teams a shared place for communication and documents.

Microsoft 365 ecosystem

Teams works closely with SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online, Outlook and Microsoft Entra ID. Strong specialists understand how these services exchange permissions, files, identities and meeting data, rather than treating Teams as an isolated chat tool.

  • Configure teams, channels and private workspaces
  • Connect SharePoint sites and document libraries
  • Set up guest access and shared channels
  • Integrate Power Platform workflows and apps

Meetings and calling

Experts configure meeting policies, webinar settings, room systems and calling plans around a company’s operating model. They can also support direct routing, phone system migrations, audio devices and governance for recordings, captions and external participants.

When expertise helps

Companies often bring in freelance specialists during a Microsoft 365 rollout, a merger, a workplace transformation or a move from Skype for Business. In Essen, they may need remote support across locations or on-site coordination with teams that expect clear communication in English or German.

  • Plan a tenant-wide Teams rollout
  • Replace fragmented chat and meeting tools
  • Improve adoption and workspace structure
  • Resolve permissions, policy or call-quality issues

Delivery and governance

A reliable implementation covers naming conventions, lifecycle rules, retention, access controls and user guidance. Specialists may create templates, migration plans, training material, PowerShell automation and operational documentation so the environment stays manageable after launch.

Strong professional signals

Look for hands-on work with Teams administration, Microsoft Graph, PowerShell, SharePoint and Entra ID. Strong professionals explain trade-offs clearly, test policy changes in stages and connect technical decisions to security, usability and support processes. They should also be comfortable diagnosing meeting quality and adoption issues with evidence rather than guesswork.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams is used for workplace chat, online meetings, voice calling, file collaboration and structured team workspaces. It is especially useful when a company already relies on Microsoft 365 and wants communication, documents and calendars to work together.

Microsoft Teams offers chat and meetings like Slack and Zoom, but it is more deeply connected to Microsoft 365 identity, files, calendars and business applications. The right choice depends on existing tools, governance needs, calling requirements and how much collaboration should happen inside one environment.

A strong Microsoft Teams specialist often also works with SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online, Entra ID, PowerShell and Microsoft Graph. Knowledge of Power Platform, endpoint management, security policies and network quality is valuable for larger or more integrated environments.

The required depth depends on the scope. A basic workspace setup may need configuration expertise, while a tenant migration, calling project or governance redesign calls for experience with identity, policies, automation, security and user adoption.

Yes, much of Microsoft Teams configuration, documentation and troubleshooting can be completed remotely through secure administrative access and online workshops. On-site work can still help with meeting-room equipment, rollout coordination or stakeholder sessions in Essen.

Ask for examples involving the same scope, such as tenant consolidation, SharePoint integration, calling or governance. A capable Microsoft Teams professional should describe the starting environment, decisions made, testing approach and measurable operational outcome without relying on vague tool lists.

They define clear rules for teams, channels, naming, ownership and lifecycle management before broad rollout. An experienced Microsoft Teams expert also uses templates, targeted training and usage feedback to make collaboration easier without creating duplicate spaces.

Microsoft Teams experts can investigate meeting drops, poor audio, sign-in failures, missing files, incorrect permissions and policy conflicts. They may review client logs, network conditions, identity settings, device configuration and service policies to isolate the cause.
