A Message from our CEO

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday! I’d like to take the opportunity of to celebrate another year with you and express gratitude as we look forward to the year ahead.

This year, our employees, customers and business partners across the world have continued to reach new heights in digital transformation and cloud adoption, and I’m so proud of what we have achieved together. So many of you have been kind enough to share your feedback with me and with members of my team: “thank you for pushing through – we’ve see a 700% performance improvement in the last two days”, “I’m delighted with how the build went – it was an amazing process”, “I have brought issues to you in the past, but now I want to take a moment to reflect on our achievements. We have been on a three-year journey, and I want to thank you for your partnership”.

At the same time, some of you have asked us to increase and improve our ability to support you and your Archive360 implementation. We’ve responded to this by streamlining and expanding not only our support team, but also our support processes and infrastructure. Check out the article below from Mark Meaders, our Director of Customer Support.

As we look towards 2023, I know that many of you are being asked to “do more with less” and find ways to reduce costs in your businesses. Our team at Archive360 continues to look at ways in which you can optimize your investment in current products such as Microsoft 365, or reduce (or remove) costs associated with retaining legacy platforms and data. I encourage you to check out the articles below on how you can reduce costs associated with SharePoint Online storage, for instance. Our team has built a solution, on top of our Archive2Azure platform, that allows you to remove up to 70% of your storage costs, without impacting end users.

On behalf of the Archive360 team, I wish you a joyous, safe, and healthy holiday season and a happy and prosperous new year.

Archive360 Connect™️ for SharePoint Online 

If your organization is considering migrating on-premises file shares to SharePoint Online or is generating and sharing lots of content through Microsoft Teams, chances are you have had to contend with SharePoint Online’s storage limit. As you may know, Microsoft 365 provides 1TB of SharePoint storage plus 10GB per license purchased, and if you want to increase the storage space, you can buy extra storage.

Buying additional storage is your easiest option, but if your budget is tight, and you need to free up space, you might think your only other option is to delete files you don’t need and empty the recycle bin. This is not an easy task. Sorting through files to determine which ones to keep and which ones to delete is painfully slow and tedious… and a great way to diminish your popularity with co-workers.

Archive360 ConnectTM for SharePoint Online adds another “more friendly” option to your list. An option that might actually boost your popularity.

Archive360 ConnectTM for SharePoint Online helps you take advantage of archiving to the Azure cloud instead of purchasing costly additional storage. This significantly reduces storage costs, with zero impact to your end users, while streamlining storage management so you and SharePoint users no longer need to deal with the burden of sorting through files and can be more productive.

With this SharePoint online archiving solution, users find and access archived files the same way they find and access files stored in SharePoint online – browsing to the file’s original SharePoint location or using SharePoint Search. When a file is archived, the file name and SharePoint functionality remain the same – just click on the link to open the file. And an easy-to-read storage consumption report provides SharePoint storage consumption insights to help you quickly create storage management policies that automatically move inactive files to lower cost Azure storage, saving you and your users time and your organization a significant amount of money on additional SharePoint storage. A win-win for you and your organization.

Let's Talk SharePoint Storage

Today most organizations using SharePoint Online are worried about their storage limitations and overage fees. Many have inactive user data, data that hasn’t been accessed in over a year or longer, as well as SharePoint sites (with lots of data) that are no longer being used.  Much of this data may need to be retained for regulatory and business continuity reasons.  

Here are four questions to identify if your customers are looking for a way to better manage their SharePoint environment.

  1. Is your industry mandated to move on-premises data storage to the cloud?

  2. What are your current and projected SharePoint storage overages?

  3. How much are you paying for your SharePoint overages today?

  4. What does your SharePoint growth projection look like?

Let’s partner together to work with your customers to drive down their storage costs.  It’s a win for your customer and helps drive additional value to their SharePoint environment.
