Collaboration & Communication
Modern enterprises rely on large ecosystems of tools and apps for Collaboration & Communication including; Teams, Slack, SharePoint, and more.
Each of these applications plays a crucial role in facilitating seamless communication, enhancing productivity, and fostering collaboration across diverse teams and departments. They enable real-time interaction, document sharing, project management, and virtual meetings, which are essential for maintaining the efficiency and connectivity of a distributed workforce.
The Problems
Enterprises have massive compliance blind spots when it comes to archiving communication data. Identifying and addressing these blind spots is essential for protecting an enterprise’s sensitive information, reducing regulatory and legal exposure, and for creating a reliable data governance environment.
Limitations of M365
Conversations including direct messages, threaded chats, and private channels create data silos that are not being indexed or retained on tools like M365's Purview.
Compliance Gaps
Violating compliance standards like GDPR and Rule 17a-4 exposes enterprises to substantial risk. A well planned migration takes requirements into mind.
Information Access
Without proper archiving and retention, critical information can be difficult to access in case of an audit, legal request, or data breach.
Data Types
We will continue to see an explosion in the amount of data held on archiving platforms that must be able to searched to make EDRM workflows cohesive and effective.
Licensing Costs
Cloud providers are starting to require licenses for all users who can be searched against, even leavers. Enterprises may be subject to more than double the licensing cost.
Hyperlinked Files
Embedded information is not captured contemporaneously by M365 so it is not defensible. Enterprises will be expected to capture the content of Hyperlinked files to adhere to compliance standards.
How We Help
Expireon was designed to complement data governance tools like Microsoft Purview by preserving the data that they do not. Expireon is capable of capturing content from across various collaboration and communication sources.
This content can automatically be assigned retention periods that will be defensibly deleted upon conclusion. Messages and files retained from these sources can be indexed on demand, searched across all the connected platforms at once, put on legal hold then assigned to a case, and exported to the review tool of your choice in a standard file format to be further reviewed.
Expireon does not license by user count, so enterprises will not have to worry about paying for custodians no longer working for them.
Expireon was designed from the ground up to complement tools like Microsoft Purview capturing the data they do not, and easily importing only the relevant data when necessary.
