Syskit included in Gartner® research How to Prepare for Microsoft 365 Education Storage Changes

Last August, Microsoft announced storage limitations and the retirement of the Office A1 Plus program for Education. For some organizations, this means up to a 90% storage reduction. Gartner’s research lays a plan for preparing for the upcoming changes and optimizing the data life cycle. 

“We believe being acknowledged in the How to Prepare for Microsoft 365 Education Storage Changes by Gartner® emphasizes our dedication to allow our users to continue to operate smoothly and cost-effectively under the new changes and constraints in the Microsoft 365 environment. For us, this report validates the critical need for robust governance solutions and highlights our company’s increasing value in this space,” said Danijel Cizek, Product Manager at Syskit.  

Syskit’s platform enables users to control the data life cycle and increase security by introducing visibility in the environment. The company revealed its upgraded Storage Management functionality that enables IT admins to clean up their tenant by discovering and deleting old and redundant file versions. “By talking with our customers, we recognized that organizations are experiencing multiple challenges regarding storage, such as costs, challenging management, governance, etc. We addressed those with a solution that gives them real-time insights into the state of the tenant and enables management actions from a centralized and UX-friendly dashboard,” Cizek concluded.
