Automatic storage management in Microsoft 365

Managing storage within your organization can become a major challenge as your business grows.
Fortunately, Microsoft 365 offers solutions to manage this growth, such as automated storage management. Here’s a quick guide to help you tackle this challenge.πŸ‘‡

What happens when your business grows? 🌱

  • More employees, products and projects = more data.
  • The need to keep your data safe grows along with it.
  • Without an active approach, managing document versions and storage can become chaotic and consume a lot of time.

But what can you do about it?

Enhanced Version Control in Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 offers a handy tool: Enhanced Version Control (formerly Intelligent Versioning).
This helps you to:

  • Streamline document management.
  • Cost savings.
  • Increase productivity.

How can you streamline your data growth? πŸ“ˆ

  • Auto-save is a great feature, but each version saved takes up storage space.
  • Too many versions can significantly increase storage costs, especially in large organizations.

πŸ‘‰ Who should be responsible for managing this storage?
Your IT team or perhaps each owner of a SharePoint site or Microsoft 365 group?
This is where collaborative governance comes in.
