Summary
Eric Deferm is an Office 365 Engineer and digital workplace architect with 9+ years of focused experience modernizing collaboration platforms and a long career in enterprise communication systems dating back to Lotus Notes and early system engineering. He translates complex business requirements into practical M365 solutions—designing Teams, SharePoint/OneDrive, Power Automate flows and corporate apps—to drive migrations, automation and measurable operational improvements. Comfortable across ITIL service management, Agile delivery and stakeholder training, he combines hands-on development and system engineering with governance, security (GDPR/DPIA) and migration strategy.

Based in Antwerp, he pairs deep legacy-platform expertise with modern cloud-first practices, making him adept at bridging historical systems and contemporary Microsoft ecosystems.
