It was based on training data, assembled from files, emails, and pages that someone created, classified, and gave permission to read. When that history is visible, AI is something you can trust and audit. […]
Storage Optimization Reimagined: M365 Archive File-Level Integration with Infotechtion-ARM (i-ARM)
As data volumes continue to explode, the “keep everything” mentality has shifted from a storage challenge to a critical governance risk. Organizations are no longer just managing bits and bytes; they are managing the fuel for AI, the integrity of legal evidence, and the rising costs of “hot” cloud storage. At Infotechtion, our mission has […]
Reporting – the Missing Link in Purview DLM Implementations.
Rising costs of storage, improved compliance and reduced risk are just some of the reasons that organisations are adopting Microsoft Purview (and of course, to provide high quality data for AI!). Purview’s data lifecycle management functionality (DLM) is rich and comprehensive and can be a key enabler for an organisation to make a step change in its overall information […]
Navigating the messiness of change beyond theoretical frameworks
Within change management there are many different methodologies and frameworks, with different paths promising a clear and structured way to achieve successful change. However, no matter how much effort is put into planning change, real life change is rarely straightforward. Organizations consist of diverse groups of people, projects that run in parallel or interweave and […]
How to enable AI and agents to deliver business value without compromising security, privacy, or compliance
In our webinar March 5, I was joined by Jon Erik Bjøre, Vice President Technology Management at the energy company Equinor and Adithya Narayanan, Product Manager at Microsoft to discuss security, privacy, and compliance for AI and Agents. Equinor saved 130 million USD last year by using AI and Agents, and I will in this […]
AI Agents + MS Purview = True
AI agents are moving quickly from experiments to everyday tools. They plan, call other services, interact with data, and sometimes act without a person watching every step. That creates value, but also new exposure. This post outlines the potential of AI agents, why their use is growing, the main governance challenges, and how Microsoft Purview […]
Agentic Intelligence (And Why It Matters in 2026)
Artificial intelligence has reached an inflection point. Models are more capable thanever, benchmarks keep improving, and demos look impressive. Yet many AI systems still fail the moment they encounter real-world complexity. They respond well, but they don’t act. They generate outputs, but they don’t own outcomes. In 2026, the most important question in AI is […]
Surfacing user behaviour and risks in your M365 Data Estate
It has never been easier to create and generate both data and information. Data growth is exponential and if you combine that with the growth of an organisation, it becomes ever so easy to get lost in the data-mess and lose overview and control over your data estate in M365. Together we’ll explore some solutions […]
The Must-Read Data Security & Governance Series for 2026
As we head into 2026, AI, Copilot, and rapid data growth are forcing organizations to rethink how data security and governance are designed, operated, and sustained. Microsoft Purview provides a critical foundation—but success in 2026 depends on how you implement, operate, and extend it to support AI-driven ways of working. To help you stay ahead, […]
