Belfast, November 20th , 2019 – Repstor, the ECM software and matter management specialist, has today announced the launch of a Microsoft Teams™ Webinar Series designed to help organizations get the best from this powerful platform, without introducing new risk around content management.

In the first three webinars (full details below), experienced Microsoft Teams’ practitioners, Fergus Wilson and Scott Brant will use Repstor technology and specific use cases to highlight the main risk factors if appropriate information governance policies and controls are not applied.

For each audience, Fergus and Scott will offer practical advice under 5 categories:

1. Governance/Team creation

3. Content & Matter Management
4. Security & content sharing

But without governance and control, Teams’ use can create new chaos for information and IT managers. In these three sessions we will equip those in charge with practical tips to get the best from this powerful platform, without introducing new risk around content management.”
