Coffee Chat Podcast | Hosted by Preservica, featuring Mike Schweitzer, CEO at Gravity Union

We recently teamed up with Preservica for their Coffee Chat Podcast, where Mike, our CEO, joined Martyn Simpson, CISO at Preservica, for a thoughtful discussion on what it really means to preserve digital information in Microsoft 365.

Rather than treating archiving as the finish line, this conversation looks at the long‑term realities organizations face when managing high‑value information.

Together, they explore why traditional retention strategies often fall short for long‑term records, how today’s content decisions can create future risk, and what IT leaders should be thinking about now to ensure information remains accessible, trustworthy, and defensible over time.

You’ll learn:

  • Why backing up content isn’t the same as preserving it

  • How digital information can quietly degrade or become inaccessible over time

  • The downstream effects of unmanaged SharePoint growth on security, discovery, cost, and AI readiness

  • How Gravity Union helps organizations design a complete content lifecycle in Microsoft 365 with Preserve365 — from creation through long‑term preservation

This conversation is designed for IT leaders, security and compliance professionals, and decision‑makers responsible for protecting critical organizational information well beyond its day‑to‑day use.
