In collaboration with Microsoft, Preservica developed Preserve365®, an embedded solution that integrates archiving and digital preservation directly into the Microsoft 365 and SharePoint experience. This integration allows organizations to manage the entire records lifecycle within a unified information governance strategy, eliminating the need for separate compliance, archiving, and discovery tools. By leveraging existing Microsoft permissions and retention labels, Preserve365® automates the disposition, archiving, and digital preservation of critical long-term records, ensuring they remain readable and actionable over decades, independent of the original file format.

Building on its success in the US and UK, Preservica expanded the availability of Preserve365® to Canada, hosted on Microsoft Azure. This expansion allows Canadian organizations, including Library and Archives Canada and the Province of New Brunswick, to benefit from Preserve365® with full data sovereignty. The solution simplifies compliance by embedding archiving and digital preservation into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, enabling users to apply Microsoft retention labels and utilize tools like Power Automate and Copilot to meet compliance requirements and optimize SharePoint environments.
