As legal hold requirements become more stringent, many organizations are re-evaluating the legal hold management capabilities of Microsoft's E3 licensing, especially given the impending retirement by Microsoft of its classic eDiscovery experience in August 2025. While the promise of a fully integrated eDiscovery ecosystem like Purview sounds appealing, legal and compliance teams can’t afford to be exposed to significant risks and manual processes that don't scale with modern business needs.
Key Areas to Watch:
-
Hidden Compliance Risks: Many organizations don't realize the legal and regulatory exposure they face when legal hold processes lack proper documentation, audit trails, and defensible workflows - risks that become critical during litigation or regulatory review.
-
The True Cost of Manual Processes: While E3 licensing appears cost-effective, the potential hidden costs of manual legal hold management – from staff time to compliance risks to potential litigation exposure – often exceed the price of extending E3 capabilities with purpose-built solutions.
-
Budget-Smart Alternatives to E5: Organizations don't have to choose between expensive E5 upgrades and potential gaps in legal hold capabilities – understanding your options can save significant budget while improving your organization’s compliance posture.
In this session, you'll learn:
-
Limitations of legal hold management in Microsoft Purview E3
-
The compliance risks associated with an unmanaged legal hold process
-
The advantages of a “best of breed” solutions approach vs. an “end-to-end” approach

-
Real-world examples where organizations needed defensibility and scalability
Join us to understand considerations associated with E3's legal hold capabilities and discover how to improve your compliance posture and risk management without breaking your budget.
