Times Up! Get Rid of Public Folders
Preparing the Move to O365
Eighty-five percent of business data is unstructured. This includes your text, media, videos, social, and more. And it’s doubling every 90 days. This qualitative data found across cloud Office365 is layered with improperly managed mailboxes and distribution lists and creates a complex network of inappropriate permissions and ownership that increase security risk. Even worse, public folders only add to that risk.
Migration Requirements
O365 migrations require the elimination of public folders in their current form.
Unclear Licensing Needs
There are mounds of misinformation across O365 licensing models.
VIP Mailboxes
Unnecessary legacy access and stale shared mailboxes create undue risk.
