explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you have a favorite coffee shop that you've been visiting for years. It's cozy, familiar, and you know exactly where everything is. One day, the owner tells you that they're planning to renovate the shop to make it even better. They'll add more seating, improve the menu, and introduce a new ordering system that will make your visits more efficient. At first, you might feel a bit uneasy about the change, but you trust that the improvements will enhance your experience.

Similarly, Microsoft is updating its Purview Compliance portal. The classic version of this portal, which many have grown accustomed to, will be retired by the end of 2024. In its place, a new and improved Microsoft Purview portal will be introduced. This updated portal will not only retain all the existing features you're familiar with but will also offer additional capabilities. Think of it as the coffee shop's renovation, where the aim is to provide a more streamlined and unified experience.

The new Purview portal is designed to help you manage data security, governance, and compliance more effectively. It will allow you to access solutions for all your data, no matter where it is stored, across your entire data estate. Just like the new ordering system in the coffee shop, this portal aims to make your tasks more efficient and your overall experience more enjoyable.

As with any change, there might be a learning curve, but the goal is to make your work with data security and compliance more seamless and integrated. The transition to the new portal is akin to adapting to the changes in your favorite coffee shop—initially unfamiliar, but ultimately beneficial.
