Businesses on Microsoft are continuously evaluating how to best manage content, share knowledge, and protect data privacy and security, all while supporting their modern workforce. Email management comprises an ever-expanding pool of data to be captured and governed.
Since Microsoft launched Office 365 and SharePoint out-of-the box retention and sensitivity labels, more and more organizations are moving towards simple data compliance for saving and classifying emails. Whether your organization uses SharePoint in the cloud, on premise, or in a hybrid environment, there are tools to help streamline email management to keep employees productive and capitalize on your SharePoint investment, you just need to consider potential obstacles up front.
Obstacles to Email Capture into SharePoint
Businesses need mastery over the knowledge shared across their organization, including email records and attachments. Some of the most common obstacles organizations face with email management and SharePoint include:
- Employees spend most of their time in Outlook and often resist saving to SharePoint versus their old habit of saving emails and attachments to Outlook folders.
- Even the most well thought out SharePoint library structures can be ineffective if emails and attachments aren’t captured and stored into them.
- Slow user adoption of SharePoint. Despite the benefits of content management in SharePoint with superior search, classification and data compliance, the modern workforce can resist the platform instead demanding to work from Office apps, including on mobile devices.
Employees are often brought into better content search and sharing capabilities but can resist using SharePoint in a conventional way.
Value of Effective Email Management with SharePoint
Effective email management using SharePoint requires letting employees capture knowledge right from their inbox. With the right email management in place companies can improve knowledge management and data compliance, plus members of teams have complete, fast access to knowledge to better perform:

- Executives and project leaders have complete knowledge for accurate planning, budgeting and billing.
- Sales teams can win bids by being responsiveness to prospect total needs.
- Legal teams can save time and costs with rapid legal discovery and response.
- And, the company protects its intelligence as employees depart or retire.
