Microsoft 365 storage growth is accelerating, but the real cost is more than storage. Redundant, obsolete and trivial content increases Microsoft 365 costs while also degrading the quality of AI responses from Microsoft Copilot.

In this session, learn how to identify storage waste, improve information quality, and build a cleaner, smarter foundation for AI.

Detailed Content

Many organisations are focused on deploying Microsoft Copilot but overlook a fundamental requirement: data quality.

We'll explore how years of uncontrolled growth across SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams and Exchange lead to spiralling storage costs, compliance risks and poor AI outcomes. Attendees will discover how stale, duplicate and low-value content influences Copilot retrieval, increases the likelihood of hallucinations, and reduces trust in AI-generated content.

Topics include:

The hidden cost of growing Microsoft 365 storage
Why data hygiene matters for Copilot success
The relationship between content quality and AI accuracy
Identifying ROT (Redundant, Obsolete and Trivial) content
Finding duplicate files and version sprawl
Storage optimisation strategies that reduce costs
Demonstration of Tenant Storage Optimizer (TSO)
Building a sustainable governance model for long-term AI readiness
What Attendees Will Learn

Attendees leave able to:

Quantify Microsoft 365 storage waste
Identify content negatively impacting Copilot responses
Reduce storage costs across Microsoft 365
Improve AI response quality through data optimisation
Build an AI-ready information architecture
