Microsoft Teams has exploded in popularity in recent years, going from 2 million users in 2017 to roughly 250 million today. That growth is due in no small part to the disruptions caused by the global pandemic, with employees working from home and still needing to collaborate.

Properly closing out construction projects can be a major administrative hassle that takes time away from more productive tasks. Not only do you have to identify and retain your contracts, warranties, and proof of completions, but you also must remove team members who no longer require access to systems and folders. It’s typically a very manual process—but it doesn’t have to be.

Gmail is an immensely popular service, with nearly 2 billion active accounts.

Your organization runs on information, and much of that information is sensitive. You need consistent governance policies to protect users and data, but just protecting files is not enough.
