Overview

M365 Governance Uplift Program focuses on three areas – Microsoft 365 environment governance, optimisation of content management processes, and critical content ring-fencing.

Additionally, the Knowledge Central application (formerly QMS) is built on legacy technology, further constraining efficiency, collaboration, and compliance readiness.

This program will deliver a targeted uplift by modernising the Microsoft 365 environment through clear governance, modern content management architecture, and consistent collaboration practices, enabling effective ring-fencing controls. It addresses key discovery findings to reduce operational and regulatory risk, strengthen information security, and enable teams to work more efficiently and confidently, while supporting future business needs and sustainable growth.

Key goals:

• Standardise content management
• Enable GenAI readiness
• Strengthen information security & compliance
• Improve efficiency and collaboration
