FTI Technology assists companies with a broad range of needs around Microsoft 365 usage to ensure legal and regulatory activities remain cost-effective and defensible.
"Microsoft 365 represents a transformational change for organizations, and this migration offers legal teams an opportunity to develop and implement industry best practices for e-discovery and information governance," said Jake Frazier, a Senior Managing Director and Leader of the Information Governance & Compliance Services (IG&CS) practice at FTI Technology. "Using our global expertise in legal, regulatory and technical matters, we’ve helped organizations implement Microsoft 365 so that legal and regulatory requirements are not only accounted for, but are streamlined for easier and more cost-effective management."
According to Microsoft, 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies are using or plan to use Microsoft 365 software and services. FTI Technology provides a wide range of services to ensure a cost-effective, safe and defensible Microsoft 365 migration and implementation, including:
- Data migration: Safely migrate data from legacy archives to Microsoft 365 while active cases are underway

- Legal hold: Update policies and ensure existing holds are maintained during the migration
