Imagine you have a large filing cabinet where you keep all your important documents. In the past, you might have had separate cabinets for different types of documents—one for your emails, another for paper files, and yet another for digital files from different software. This setup can make it difficult to find everything you need quickly, especially when you're working on a big case or project.

Microsoft Purview's modern eDiscovery experience is like upgrading to a smart filing cabinet that can hold all your documents, no matter where they originally came from. With this new feature, you can now import data from outside the Microsoft 365 ecosystem directly into this unified cabinet. This means whether your data is from emails, documents, or other sources, you can store it all in one place.

For legal and compliance teams, this is particularly useful. It’s like having a one-stop shop where you can review all your documents without having to switch between different systems or platforms. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of missing important information because everything is consolidated in a single, secure environment.

Think of it as having a universal remote control for your TV, sound system, and streaming devices. Instead of juggling multiple remotes, you have one that does it all, making your life simpler and more efficient. Similarly, by importing non-Microsoft 365 data into the Microsoft Purview compliance portal, you streamline your workflow, making it easier to manage and review all your data in one place.
