“So content sprawl is something that we encountered in our day jobs as Microsoft three sixty five consultants. So we've been working, helping orgs move into the Microsoft Cloud and then also build out their apps and run their services in the Cloud.”
“You solve that by putting governance in place, by putting a bit of friction in place for well, a couple of steps. Putting a bit of friction in place for the user so they can't just spin up the workspace willy nilly. There needs to be a definite purpose to it.”
“So we are still pre revenue. We're looking at pricing at the moment on average. So what we do is we price it per tenant. So tenant is a Microsoft property. So an organization usually has a single tenant.”
