Auditing and analyzing the company’s information before migration will ultimately save time and money, reduce the attack threat surface, and ensure the new system is secure, efficient and in compliance. Information audits are easier said than done, but they are essential for any successful migration project. (Pg. 5)
Users need to feel empowered and free to work the way they need to within Office 365, so establishing a user-centric governance framework early on can help keep information protected and manageable. (Pg. 9)
Once an information architecture has been established, it is important for information and records managers to consider how to prevent sprawl and maintain consistency for users across the Microsoft 365 platform. Microsoft 365’s collaboration and workspace features are important for bringing virtual teams together seamlessly and empowering users to work in productive and intuitive ways. (Pgs. 10-11)
AvePoint Cloud Records enables information managers to define the appropriate term in a file plan or classification scheme and apply them to content. This means information is automatically designated for capture, retrieval, maintenance, disposal and preservation of records in Office 365 from a single interface. (Pg. 22)
