But there’s enough truth in it to warrant putting down your coffee and paying attention for two minutes. Because Microsoft flipped a switch, and most European organisations won’t notice until it’s too late. Here’s what […]

The artist previously known as the Knowledge Agent is now officially called AI in SharePoint. Honestly, I think this name makes more sense. It is much clearer to everyone now that we aren’t quite talking about a full-blown agent, that you can call in other entrypoints like Chat, but rather extra AI capabilities that help […]

If you’ve already rolled out the basic sensitivity labels in Microsoft Purview, you’ve made a solid start toward securing your Copilot deployment.

You’ve locked down sharing and put permission controls in place. But files have a habit of ending up where they shouldn’t. Whether it’s a miss click, a forward-all moment, or someone dragging and dropping a sensitive document into the wrong folder, you need a layer of protection that sticks with the content. That’s exactly what […]

It will surface that content confidently, whether […]

Not because of a lack of skill or effort, but because the typical workplace tools weren’t designed with neurodivergent minds in mind. Maybe it feels overwhelming to keep […]
