Our holistic approach to records and information management means we've got you covered from start to finish
In order to apply appropriate information lifecycle management policies, organizations must accurately capture, track, and record all Microsoft 365 collaborative workspaces as they are created. Additionally, they must have measures in place to address the redundant, obsolete, and trivial content left behind by short-lived projects. This ROT content not only hinders productivity which results in user frustration, it also creates unnecessary risk exposure. As a best practice, organizations need to action lifecycle outcomes when content is no longer required for business purposes or by law.
As the data associated with workspaces, files, chats, meeting recordings, and more continues to skyrocket, holding on to extraneous content can have a significant impact on your organization’s bottom line.
One of the best ways to protect your organization from risk is to ensure that you’re not holding on to too much—or too little—information. In addition to maintaining compliance with regulations such as GDPR that mandate how long sensitive data should be held for, applying appropriate information lifecycle processes enables you to reduce your risk exposure, including regulatory, security, process.
It’s very easy for an environment to get bloated by redundant, obsolete, or trivial (“ROT”) content, which can cause intense frustration for users struggling to find up-to-date information. A recent survey
sponsored by Citrix found that employees spend 25% of their time searching for information they need to do their jobs. By getting rid of this stale content, organizations can drive productivity, reduce risk, and improve the speed and accuracy of search, analytics, and e-discovery solutions.
Solutions like Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint have made it easier than ever to collaborate with colleagues. But these tools also produce an unprecedented amount of data—and organizations are now facing significantly higher cloud storage costs. Beyond just cost considerations, holding on to too much information can also increase your risk of regulatory and compliance issues, productivity challenges, and cybersecurity gaps.
In this eBook, we share four practical strategies to help you optimize storage costs, protect against surprise overages, and safeguard your organization against legal and reputational risk.
GET THE EBOOKWith AvePoint’s Cloud Governance, you can empower users to create Teams, Sites and Groups in real-time, backed by a sustainable, efficient, and secure governance framework. From the very moment a Microsoft 365 workspace is provisioned, it enters the lifecycle management process. Organizations can right-size their policies to ensure that provisioned assets have correct classification, retention, metadata, and access controls in place from the outset. Going forward, workspace owners can also be automatically asked to review permissions and metadata and revise or confirm as necessary.
Oversee configuration settings, membership, and ownership change requests, with the ability to delete, revert, or notify of unauthorized changes
Improve data quality and speed up processes with automated, structured end-of-life processes that trigger alerts for potentially idle or irrelevant sites and content
Ask workspace owners to explicitly confirm extend a workspace’s lease or flag it for managed disposition
Just as workspaces must go through an information lifecycle process, the content within them should be subject to the same. With Cloud Records, you can easily automate business rules to manage your entire content lifecycle—from creation to classification and retention—without user intervention. Achieve compliance with your company’s own policies as well as rapidly changing regulatory requirements at the local, state, and federal level.
Manage electronic content from Microsoft 365, SharePoint on-premises, Exchange Online, social media, and file systems directly alongside physical records
Draw upon comprehensive out-of-the-box reporting to understand the current state of lifecycle processes, easily adjusting approvals, terms, policies, and more
Use delegated administration capabilities to permit defined groups or users to manage content repositories and access security-trimmed search results and reporting
Our Fly migration solution enables organizations to seamlessly migrate their on-premise files directly into Microsoft 365. Detailed pre-migration discovery reports allow the organization to manage and maintain metadata, permissions, and complex data structures. Integrate legacy data into modern information management frameworks by filtering and restructuring content as it moves into Microsoft 365.
With automated data synchronization, Fly captures changes throughout the duration of the migration product.
Remap metadata, domains, and other information during the migration process
Ensure that legacy information being moved into Microsoft 365 is in line with data governance and information management policies
