Does it have to be this hard? Preserving content from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace Watch Party

Check your local time for the event here. 

Cloud-based platforms for productivity and collaboration have become an essential part of our working lives, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic led to an increase in remote working. Using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, colleagues can collaborate on shared documents, send emails and conduct remote meetings. These platforms offer multiple ways to collaborate and communicate as we work, via a host of different applications and features. Whilst bringing obvious benefits to the workplace, these platforms also bring information management and preservation challenges - Which content is in scope for preservation? What are the boundaries of any given piece of content? How do we capture and preserve it?  

This event will explore how a number of organizations are beginning to tackle the challenge of preserving content from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. We will hear from speakers at different stages of thinking, planning and acting as well as the perspective of a solution provider. Time will be set aside for Q&A and discussion and attendees will be encouraged to consider how to move forward with these challenges in their own organizations.

The DPC watch party for this event is being held on the 16th of November to suit participants from Australasia and Asia-Pacific . It will show a selected recording of speakers from the UK session followed by a live presentation by Peter Francis, PROV and a live discussion.
