Are you struggling with compliance?

The Public Records Act and other compliance schedules dictate how files are retained and disposed. Unfortunately, implementing retention and disposal out of the box, at scale, is impractical and cumbersome  to manage regardless of whether you have an E3 or E5 license.

 

If you are using out of the box practices, you will need to set up retention policies or retention labels to  apply rules after your ECM workspaces have been built. Depending on your license level, rules may need to be applied manually at site, library, folder or individual file level.

 

The four problems to solve:

1. High value content is mixed in with the clutter

It can be difficult to separate high value files (e.g. finals) from working/admin files.

2. Complicated & time consuming

Setting up R&D rules over a whole tenancy can be time consuming & usually doesn't happen.

3. Information is not protected

This means important content can be inadvertently deleted without controls.

4. M365 storage costs increase

When content that no longer has value is not systematically deleted.

Simplify your R&D set-up and achieve compliance at scale
