If your organization is using Microsoft’s cloud services, it’s likely that you have some interest in knowing how your users are accessing them. Whether it’s because you need to predict the resources you’ll need as your organization grows and shrinks, or you have security and privacy issues around how your data is accessed and shared, being able to determine usage is vital.

Today,Microsoft announced at the Office blogthat some new usage reports are available for a variety ofOffice 365services. Specifically, SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, and Skype can now access the following usage reporting tools:

The reports are available both en masse and on a per-user level, providing some flexibility in how much detail are provided by reports. Reporting timeframes also vary, with 7 day, 30 day, 90 day, and 150 day options, and reports can be exported to CVS and Excel formats.

You can find additional information at theCompliance Center, and Microsoft promises more reports will become available in the future. Right now, the usage reports are available to Office 365 customers in the U.S., Australia, and Canada, and other regions will start receiving them in May, 2016. Finally, APIs to allow customers to develop their own reports will be coming this fall.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
