Structure Is Everything 

Microsoft 365 continues to be at the foundation of nearly every business’s infrastructure. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to manage. This is especially true on complex construction and civil engineering projects. People come and go, roles and phases change, and the IT team is left to make sense of who should have access to what and when. When properly structured, however, managing the security and governance of SharePoint for construction projects can be less of a headache. 

Joe and Shaili discuss the dynamic nature of complex construction projects. Specifically, the duo considers challenges associated with the changing roles on the project and collaboration with external vendors, partners, and stakeholders. In addition to offering solutions to simplify SharePoint management, our M365 experts dive into the transformative potential of automation and AI-driven solutions, such as Microsoft Copilot in enhancing security and compliance efforts.  

Leveraging intelligent tools alongside structured taxonomy can help companies achieve greater efficiency and reliability. During this episode. Listeners will learn more about: 

• The relationship between security, governance, and taxonomy in shaping document management and collaboration strategies.
