Most organizations already own Microsoft Purview through Microsoft 365 E5, but few are getting real value out of it. Purview is powerful. It is also not simple. And when deployments go wrong, the impact reaches far beyond IT. This session draws on repeated, hands-on experience deploying Purview across organizations of varying size and complexity. It walks through six comprehensive field-tested lessons covering both the business and technical realities of making Purview work in production. Not theory, not product overviews. Honest, practical guidance from implementations that succeeded, implementations that stalled, and a few that nearly caused significant business disruption.
We'll connect the dots across the broader Purview ecosystem and the services it depends on, including Microsoft Information Protection, DLP, Insider Risk Management, Purview Audit, DSPM for AI, and how these interact with identity controls like Privileged Identity Management for Purview RBAC. We'll also examine where Microsoft Intune fits in, because Purview depends on endpoint signals and browser extensions to enforce what you configure.
Beyond the technology, this session addresses the organizational challenges that determine whether a Purview initiative succeeds or fails. Ownership, governance models, responsibilities, and the adoption obstacles that surface long before policy configuration becomes the bottleneck.
You'll leave with a clear implementation strategy, a realistic roadmap, and the kind of perspective that only comes from doing this work in production, repeatedly.
