Smarter Retention in Microsoft 365: A Step Toward Cleaner, More Relevant Data - Coming soon

on
Anyone who has worked with SharePoint management knows that data governance is a cornerstone of digital productivity, especially in large organizations where information can accumulate rapidly. Today, retention policies in Microsoft 365 allow administrators to manage data based on creation or modification dates. However, in my experience, this approach is not always sufficient. Files that haven’t been accessed in years may still linger in OneDrive or SharePoint, cluttering storage, slowing down search, and diluting the relevance of AI-powered tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot. A new feature in Microsoft Purview Retention Policies, expected this winter, promises to enhance Data Lifecycle Management. This upcoming setting will enable policies to identify files that have remained untouched for a specified period and automatically flag them for deletion or archival. This enhancement is particularly valuable for organizations leveraging Microsoft 365 Copilot. By removing outdated or irreleva...

Testing the Sennheiser 660 MS - Can I finally travel with just one headset?

on

For years now, I have traveled with two headsets . I always have my trusted Bose headset in order to shut out unwanted noise, and comfortably listen to music or watch something on my mobile device. Bose is in my opinion the best headset on the market for this very reason. However, the Bose headset is really bad when it comes to speech in modern collaboration tools like Teams. And since I do a lot of meetings on the road, I always bring a second headset for that purpose.

I was hoping the Plantronics 8200 UC would solve my problem, and for two years it has been my preferred office and UC headset. The Call quality, the ANC and the music quality was really impressing. The music part can never compare to a headset like Bose, but it was close enough. However, the 8200 is quite big and bulky. This makes it slightly uncomfortable to use when traveling.

Enter the Sennheiser MB 660 MS. PeBeCom have generously given me a device to test, and I can honestly say I am impressed. The quality of voice is at par with the 8200, and the music quality is even better due to the different modes you can easily switch between. I have to say I think the noise cancellation is a bit better in the 8200, but where the 8200 is big and bulky the 660 is smaller, lighter and it fits my head a lot better.

With the 660 I have finally found one headset I can use for travelling and voice/video calls. My backpack just got a bit lighter, and I have one less device to pull out of the bag at security. I will probably still use my Bose on long haul flights and personal trips, but this is when I only care about the music and I don't want to work :)
