ESI Services for Microsoft 365

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Microsoft 365 Environment with Expert ESI Solutions

At CPI Consulting, we understand that in today’s digital landscape, managing and preserving Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is critical—not only for operational efficiency but also for legal compliance. With the rapid adoption of Microsoft 365 across businesses, ensuring that your digital data is secure, easily accessible, and legally compliant has never been more important.

What Is ESI?

Electronically Stored Information (ESI) refers to any data that is created, stored, or used in digital form. In the context of Microsoft 365, this includes:

  • Emails and Communications: Data from Outlook, Teams chats, and other communication tools.
  • Documents and Files: Information stored in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams.
  • Calendar Entries and Contacts: Critical scheduling and contact data across your organization.
  • Collaboration Data: Content generated within Microsoft 365 apps and services.

Why ESI Matters in Microsoft 365

With Microsoft 365 being the backbone of many organizations’ digital infrastructure, the volume of ESI can be enormous. Proper management of this data ensures:

  • Legal Compliance: Meet regulatory and legal requirements with secure data retention, retrieval, and preservation.
  • Efficient eDiscovery: Streamline the process of collecting and analyzing data during legal proceedings.
  • Data Security and Privacy: Protect sensitive information while ensuring that your data remains intact and retrievable.
