📣 How many of the four M365 changes landing July 1 do you actually know about? Most IT admins don't have the full picture. This isn't just a price increase. Four M365 licensing changes are landing at once. Unassigned licenses keep renewing. Departed employees still hold E3, E5, and Copilot licenses. Storage is moving to pay-as-you-go. None of it gets cleaned up for you. Join us June 29th as we break down all the changes before license waste gets more expensive. - Why Microsoft won't reclaim unused licenses for you - Where E5 is over-assigned and how to right-size before your renewal - What pay-as-you-go storage means for your SharePoint sprawl - The visibility gaps the M365 Admin Center won't show you Save your spot: hubs.ly/Q04lsH080

Your Microsoft 365 governance problem starts at provisioning. Even Microsoft recommends applying governance controls at creation. Out of the box, it doesn't happen. Sensitivity labels, storage limits, sharing controls - spread across admin centers, applied manually, one site at a time. And AI is surfacing whatever governance you didn't set. You don't need more admin centers. You need governance built in from day one. 🤩 We're solving this live on May 21 with 7 new site-level governance settings that enforce the right controls automatically at provisioning — across Teams and SharePoint. Join us and you'll leave knowing: → Why post-creation governance almost always fails → How sprawl, oversharing, and Copilot exposure are connected → How to enforce governance automatically at creation → How to standardize provisioning at scale

Copilot rollouts aren’t failing because AI is broken. They’re failing because AI is exposing content chaos, bad permissions, & years of governance shortcuts. Copilot readiness starts with content, structure, security, & user behavior. Featured in @Redmondmag. More at @TechMentorEvent with @UnsuckM365 , bringing real-world rollout lessons. #Microsoft365 #Copilot #AI #Governance
#Microsoft 365 Copilot rollouts often surface deeper challenges than expected. In this Q&A, @joyofsharepoint explains why content structure, permissions and user readiness play a bigger role than technical setup. Read the full interview: buff.ly/3L29y1q
