The SharePoint Sprawl

Microsoft SharePoint is widely used across enterprises for everyday collaboration and content management, but as data grows and ownership becomes unclear, it creates significant challenges around compliance, visibility, and control. Orphaned sites, unmanaged content, and sensitive data spread across folders make long-term governance increasingly difficult.

In this episode, Karkavel M Jegadeesan, CTO and Co-Founder of Archon along with Abubacker Malik, Shahul Hameed, Products BU Head of Archon, explores why SharePoint archival is often overlooked until it becomes a problem. From orphaned data and uncontrolled growth to limited native archival capabilities, the discussion highlights the real gaps enterprises face.

The conversation focuses on what effective SharePoint archival should enable. Seamless access, granular control, metadata preservation, and the ability to discover and manage data outside SharePoint.
