While many are aware that Microsoft 365 can enforce retention requirements, did you know that native M365 can also be used to present and publish your records retention schedule. Instead of sending out schedule updates in PDF or using expensive and disconnected third-party applications, many organizations are using native M365 to publish customized, flexible and easier-to-search schedules. Join Tom Mighell and Nandeep Mehta, experts from Contoural, as they discuss the challenges of publishing your schedule, and how this can be automated with a M365.
