Due to challenges in rolling out M365/Teams to special use cases, the SDO Mattermost application will remain in operation through 2022. 

Leidos Collaboration Tools


All –
With the transition to Microsoft Teams, as the default Leidos collaboration tool, SecDevOps will be retiring the Mattermost application at the end of 2022.
Why?

  • Teams provides the same functionalities that most SDO customers use
    • Persistent chat
    • Direct messages
    • Public (team) and private channels
    • Team/channel member control
    • Post/distribute documentation/files
    • Emojis
  • All US employees that have a Leidos mailbox will have access to Teams
    • This eliminates the provisioning request for each new user
    • Greater flexibility in managing team members
  • Additional functionality not provided in Mattermost
    • Skype-like functionality (i.e. calls, meetings, etc.)
    • Integration with other MS365 tools
    • Dedicated SharePoint workspace for each provisioned team
  • Enable cross-collaboration with the broader Leidos Community on a common platform

 When?

  • December 2022
  • Recommend beginning the transition as soon as your team has access to MS Teams
