Microsoft is retiring its classic eDiscovery experience in August! In tomorrow’s ACEDS webinar, we will discuss extending the legal hold capabilities of Microsoft Purview!

Tomorrow, ACEDS will host the webinar titled Beyond Purview: Extending the Legal Hold Capabilities of Microsoft Purview (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). In this in-depth educational webinar, you’ll learn:

• Limitations of legal hold management in Microsoft Purview E3
• The compliance risks associated with an unmanaged legal hold process
• The advantages of a “best of breed” solutions approach vs. an “end-to-end” approach
• Real-world examples where organizations needed defensibility and scalability
• Leveraging a solution that supplements E3 with hold notification tracking and custodian management capabilities for a lower cost than upgrading to E5

I’m excited to be presenting this webinar along with Daniel Maiworm, Product Director – Data Management & Expiration at Cloudficient, Brandon D’Agostino, Vice President of Product at Cloudficient and Angie Nolet, Senior Corporate Counsel of Litigation and eDiscovery and Co-Founder of the eDiscovery Chicks! We’ll guide you through what to expect in Purview and how best to supplement its limitations efficiently and cost-effectively!

Let’s face it: Many organizations don’t realize the legal and regulatory exposure they face when legal hold processes lack proper documentation, audit trails, and defensible workflows – risks that become critical during litigation or regulatory review. And while E3 licensing appears cost-effective, the potential hidden costs of manual legal hold management – from staff time to compliance risks to potential litigation exposure – often exceed the price of extending E3 capabilities with purpose-built solutions.

Organizations don’t have to choose between expensive E5 upgrades and potential gaps in legal hold capabilities – understanding your options can save significant budget while improving your organization’s compliance posture. If that speaks to you, register here to learn about extending the legal hold capabilities of Microsoft Purview – tomorrow!

So, what do you think? Are you concerned about the changes to Microsoft classic eDiscovery and finding current legal hold challenges? If so, attend tomorrow’s webinar! And please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
