We often hear from customers about the explosion of data, and the challenge this presents for organizations in remaining compliant and protecting their information. We’ve invested in capabilities across the landscape of information protection and information governance, inclusive of archiving, retention, eDiscovery and communications supervision. In Gartner’s annual Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving (EIA), Microsoft was named a Leader again in 2019.
According to Gartner, “Leaders have the highest combined measures of Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. They may have the most comprehensive and scalable products. In terms of vision, they are perceived to be thought leaders, with well-articulated plans for ease of use, product breadth and how to address scalability.” We believe this recognition represents our ability to provide best-in-class protection and deliver on innovations that keep pace with today’s compliance needs.
This recognition comes at a great point in our product journey. We are continuing to invest in solutions that are integrated into Office 365 and address information protection and information governance needs of customers. Earlier this month, at our Ignite 2019 conference, we announced updates to our compliance portfolio including new data connectors, machine learning powered governance, retention, discovery and supervision – and innovative capabilities such as threading Microsoft Teams or Yammer messages into conversations, allowing you to efficiently review and export complete dialogues with context, not just individual messages. In customer conversations, many of them say these are the types of advancements that are helping them be more efficient with their compliance requirements, without impacting end-user productivity.
