Q: How can AI help smaller companies overwhelmed with data management?

A: I think licensing, copilot licensing, Purview, and advanced compliance licensing are your friends in that space. You simply can’t manage this if you’re regulated without some of those extra tools.

Q: What is the vision for the future of compliance and governance in this rapidly expanding, evolving landscape?

A: I would like to think that a company has a persona. So you’re in a particular industry, you’re of a particular size, you’re in a particular geo region. All of those factors kind of come into play, and the compliance manager does this to a degree. This is what we need to be compliant with.

Q: What is the role of the term store in compliance and governance?

A: The term store is a key component of compliance and governance. It allows organizations to map documents to record plans and automatically apply labels, which helps to improve compliance posture.

Q: What are the significant gaps in Microsoft Purview that organizations need to prepare for?

A: There are two types of gaps in Microsoft Purview. The first type is where the feature is not built into the service itself, but Microsoft provides tooling to customize and build your process around it. The second type is where the feature is not there, such as the file plan for records not stored in M365.

Q: What are some key strategies businesses should adopt to integrate case management effectively into their records management systems?

A: There are a couple of things. As we mentioned in our podcast, Microsoft Purview handles case management through event-based retention. And so being able to automate some of the process. I’ve worked with other organizations where we implemented Power Automate integrations and that sort of thing around there. So, if you’re able to have that integration, unfortunately, one of the gaps of Purview is that automation within Purview itself for case management, and you need to help it along today. We’re hoping to have some updates on that, but there are some gaps there that we want to highlight in our podcast around that integration. Still, integrating with Power Automate or even some scripting and things like that is necessary now.
