How Leading Universities Are Reducing SharePoint Storage, Without Compromising Collaboration

presented by Orchestry

As SharePoint storage demands grow across higher education, universities are under pressure to not only to reduce costs, but to ensure a more sustainable, secure, and user-friendly Microsoft 365 environment.

In this session, Orchestry shares how institutions like Deakin University, University of Tasmania, University of Waikato and Edith Cowan University (ECU) have successfully reclaimed substantial SharePoint storage quickly and efficiently by implementing intelligent governance and lifecycle management practices.

Deakin University and the University of Waikato will also join this session to share their first-hand experience using Orchestry’s automated lifecycle management to streamline governance and free up storage at scale.
 

We'll explore how universities are addressing:

• Rising SharePoint storage costs linked to unmanaged or inactive sites
• The impact of licensing changes (such as the end of Office A1 Plus) on long-term storage strategy
• Sprawl across Teams and SharePoint due to organic, decentralized growth
• Limited visibility into permissions, sharing, and usage
• The burden on IT teams supporting collaboration across students, faculty, and research units
   

What you'll learn:

• How Deakin, UTAS, University of Waikato and ECU leveraged Orchestry to identify and clean up unused workspaces - quickly and efficiently
• How to implement proactive, policy-aligned lifecycle management at scale
• How centralized provisioning and governance can reduce admin burden without disrupting end users
• Ways to monitor and manage external access and sharing risk across the Microsoft 365 environment
   

Who should attend:

• IT leaders and administrators managing Microsoft 365
• Digital governance, security, and compliance professionals in higher ed

Outcome:
Leave with actionable strategies based on real university results for reducing storage, simplifying governance, and supporting secure, sustainable collaboration.
