Our data lifecycle management services help you align your data strategy with your business goals and compliance requirements, using Microsoft Purview to identify and manage lifecycle requirements for different types of content.
Data Lifecycle Management
Simplifying the data lifecycle
Overview
Holistic data lifecycle management
In today’s data-driven world, you need a smart and effective data strategy that aligns with your business goals and compliance requirements. You can’t afford to keep everything forever, nor can you apply a one-size-fits-all retention policy to your diverse data assets. For example, your financial records, HR data, and customer information will all need to be kept for, or deleted after, different lengths of time.
As a leading Microsoft Partner, we can help you leverage the sophisticated lifecycle management capabilities in Microsoft Purview to meet your record keeping requirements and streamline your data retention and deletion processes.

Benefits of our data lifecycle management services
Effective data lifecycle management is not just about meeting regulatory requirements. It’s a smart way to optimise your content and empower your people. By keeping content only as long as it’s useful, you can simplify management, reduce storage costs and risk, improve search relevance, and enhance productivity. Your teams will be able to find what they need faster and easier.

If you are using spreadsheets or third-party platforms to track retention periods and deletion schedules, there is an easier way. Microsoft Purview will save time and reduce errors.
Demonstrate compliance
A well-implemented data lifecycle management solution demonstrates you are serious about data compliance and meeting your regulatory obligations.
Reduce exposure risk
By keeping content for only as long as you need it, you reduce any potential damage that data can cause if you suffer a breach or are subject to disclosure requests.

We can leverage pattern-matching or AI-based trainable classifiers to identify specific types of content and apply an appropriate retention label.
Integrate with business processes
We can integrate with your business processes e.g. by triggering retention policies based on events or by building bespoke disposition processes.
