BOSTON, MA AND OXFORD, UNITED KINGDOM / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2025 / Preservica, the leader in AI-powered Active Digital Preservation™, has unveiled major new enhancements to Preserve365^® - its embedded archiving, preservation and discovery software for Microsoft 365, including SharePoint, Outlook, Teams and OneDrive.

The latest update enables government and enterprise organizations to deliver a unified SharePoint search experience across active, archived - and now also non-SharePoint content that has been migrated from costly or unsupported legacy systems directly into Preservica's embedded preservation archive.

"Traditional siloed archiving tools with one-way connectors depend on IT to retrieve data or require users to remember file names and download or restore files just to assess relevance," says Stuart Reed, Chief Product Officer at Preservica. "By embedding our Active Digital Preservation software into Microsoft 365, Preserve365 drives greater efficiency by leveraging existing Microsoft tools to automate SharePoint archiving and preservation and empowering users to quickly locate active and archived content using full-text search and instantly view files in actionable formats - including non-SharePoint content migrated off legacy systems."

This new capability unlocks value for Microsoft customers to:

• Transform SharePoint into a powerful, central hub for unified content discovery

• Enable faster, smarter decisions with full-text search and instant content viewing

• Boost responsiveness & scope for FOI, Legal, Regulatory and Operational discovery

• Unlock long-term data value for compliance, new insights and AI-driven discovery

Consolidating critical long-term content into a trusted embedded preservation archive also reduces risk, complexity and cost - enabling Microsoft customers to:

• Accelerate decommissioning of legacy systems without increasing SharePoint costs

• Optimize SharePoint and long-term content storage costs

• Eliminate compliance risks from "dark" inaccessible data & obsolete file formats

• Simplify governance by leveraging existing Microsoft permissions, labels and software

This user-centric approach removes barriers to access, streamlines every-day SharePoint workflows and lays the foundation for seamless integration with Microsoft Copilot and future AI-powered semantic discovery and automation.

For Government - implement centralized policies and processes for the secure transfer of permanent records - either direct from department and agency SharePoint repositories or via direct upload to the preservation archive - while still providing secure agency and departmental access in SharePoint for FOI, legal, HR and Engineering team discovery.

For Businesses - centralize and unify the governance of critical long-term SharePoint and legacy records from departments, branch offices, subsidiaries and decommissioned systems - while still providing secure unified SharePoint access for legal, marketing, compliance, Finance, HR and departmental discovery.
