Microsoft 365 Copilot is only as powerful as the data it can access. For many organizations, decades of redundant, outdated, and trivial (ROT) data create a hidden “AI tax”—inflating storage costs while reducing the quality of AI-generated insights by surfacing irrelevant or outdated information.
Cleaning up ROT data is one of the most important—and often overlooked—steps in preparing Microsoft 365 environments for the AI era.
In this on-demand session, Vlad Catrinescu (Microsoft MVP, Syskit) and Danijel Cižek (Product Manager Team Lead, Syskit) provide a practical deep dive into Microsoft’s new File-Level Archive capabilities for SharePoint and Microsoft 365.
You’ll learn how cold storage works, how Microsoft structures archive storage costs, and what technical guardrails IT leaders need to understand before implementing file archiving strategies.
This session also walks through the end-user experience, showing what happens when users encounter archived files and how reactivation works in real-world scenarios.
Move from features to strategy. Discover how Syskit Point helps organizations identify archiving candidates across thousands of sites, automate lifecycle policies, and generate reporting that demonstrates both storage savings and improved AI readiness across your Microsoft 365 tenant.
What you'l learn at this session:
- Identify ROT data that negatively impacts Copilot and AI search results
- Understand how Microsoft 365 File-Level Archiving works in SharePoint
- Reduce storage costs while improving data governance and AI accuracy
- Implement automated archiving policies at scale across Microsoft 365
- Prepare your tenant for AI-powered tools like Copilot and AI agents
