Session: Planning, Implementing and Governing Microsoft Purview for Records Management

Lessons learned and food for thought for a smooth and sustainable implementation.

Location: Nakiska

Date and Time: Sunday May 12 at 10:15AM

Session Description: Many organizations have begun to use Purview Records Management over the last few years to help better manage their electronic records. We at Gravity Union have had the privilege of helping many of these organizations on their journey, so we understand that while the choice to implement this tool is straight forward, implementation takes more thought and planning.

Come along with us as we discuss our lessons learned:

What it takes for a smooth implementation of Purview Records Management, from the planning stage all the way to governance in the solution.

  • Key questions organizations should be asking themselves before proceeding with an implementation.

  • Best practices we have developed while helping our clients make the transition to Purview RM.

  • This session is well suited for anyone in an organization: whether they are just thinking about starting a journey with Purview Records management or are already well on their way!
