Archiving in SharePoint

Structured long-term document storage

Challenges with archiving in SharePoint

  • SharePoint lacks automated archiving rules, making archiving time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Limited search and security options make it difficult to retrieve and protect archived documents.
  • Without a central records management system, compliance with retention obligations is difficult to ensure.

SharePoint provides limited functionality for document archiving, which makes it difficult to store and manage documents efficiently when they are no longer actively used. This can lead to unnecessary storage space usage and can make it difficult to retrieve archived documents when they are needed again. SharePoint does not provide automated archiving rules, making manual archiving of documents time-consuming and error-prone. In addition, there are insufficient security options to protect archived information.

Moreover, SharePoint lacks a central management system for records. This means that organisations have no visibility into their archives, which complicates compliance with retention obligations and meeting legal requirements, such as data retention.
