    From SAM to AI-Ready Governance

    Join Microsoft MVP Vlad Catrinescu as he explores where SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) truly delivers value for AI & Copilot. Discover the hidden governance gaps that appear when AI scales across M365 and how to decide when Microsoft native tools are enough – and when they’re not.

    Maximizing control while scaling AI adoption

    As organizations adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot and AI-powered experiences, SharePoint becomes one of the most important grounding sources for AI across the tenant. That makes SharePoint governance more visible and more important than ever, especially around oversharing, lifecycle, and cost management at scale.

    Microsoft continues to invest heavily in native governance capabilities, and SharePoint Advanced Management (SAM) plays an important role in improving visibility and control across SharePoint. Many organizations are using SAM to address oversharing, content lifecycle challenges, and emerging AI-related scenarios such as SharePoint agents.

    However, as these capabilities are adopted at scale, especially in large, regulated, or fast-moving environments, teams often encounter practical limitations that can create blind spots, manual effort, and operational bottlenecks.

    In this webinar, we’ll explore how to govern SharePoint effectively in the era of AI, where SAM fits within Microsoft’s broader governance story, and how to determine whether native tooling alone is sufficient for your environment. We’ll also share a point of view on when and why organizations complement Microsoft’s native capabilities with a third-party governance platform to achieve continuous control, cost accountability, and AI readiness at scale without slowing the business down.

    This webinar will give both decision-makers and technical leaders the clarity needed to make informed governance decisions about their Microsoft 365 tenant as AI adoption accelerates.
