Unlocking the full potential of Microsoft 365 Copilot starts with nailing down your SharePoint permissions governance. Are you confident in your visibility over who can access what, and whether sensitive data is truly protected from oversharing? With increasing external collaborations and evolving user roles, maintaining airtight permissions is more challenging—and more critical—than ever. Site Owners, business leaders, and IT teams: ensuring you can identify, remediate, and continuously govern access is the foundation for a secure, productive Copilot rollout. Curious how ready your organization is? Take the Microsoft 365 Copilot Permissions Readiness Assessment to find out: https://hubs.ly/Q04w26Vt0

Are you still using InfoPath?
A month after Microsoft's retirement date, many organisations are finding their InfoPath forms are still working in SharePoint Online.
Whilst that might sound reassuring, it shouldn't.
"Still working" isn't the same as being supported, future-proof, or low risk.
If your business still relies on InfoPath, ask yourself:
• What would happen if a critical form failed tomorrow?
• How quickly could you replace it?
• Are you prepared for the next Microsoft 365 change?
The InfoPath ship may still be floating... but would you trust it to carry your business data through the next storm?

"Have you packed this case yourself, sir?"
Even when the answer is "yes", many of us would struggle to name everything inside it.
Now imagine that case is your Microsoft 365 storage, and everyone in the organisation is adding to it. Everything seems fine until the dreaded weigh-in...
• Duplicate documents
• Outdated files
• Old project content
• Years of unused information
Just like excess baggage, excess storage comes at a premium.
DeliverPoint Storage Management helps you find what's valuable, what's duplicated, and what's obsolete, giving you the insight to decide what's needed for the journey ahead and what can be left behind.
Don't let your M365 storage become excess baggage this summer:
