ORIGINAL POST:
A question that comes up a lot is, “Office Groups, SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer… when should we use which collaboration solution that Microsoft offers?”

2toLead is a consultancy that has written a 75-page whitepaper that was updated a couple months ago on the exact topic of how to “provide the right enterprise tool” for the collaboration scenario requested.  While it was originally a Microsoft reviewed document, it’s been modified from that original form and is no longer distributed by us (hence the reason it doesn’t have any Microsoft insignia on it any more compared to it’s original incarnation) so it’s not considered Microsoft’s official guidance however, the authors are Office 365 MVPs so they do speak with great experience. 

Here’s the location of the whitepaper, if you’d like to download it: (Requires registration)

The authors did a session at Microsoft Ignite 2015 last year on a similar topic.  Here’s the recording:
