Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management Implementation is a 30-day, $4,500 per project service for organizations that need to implement Microsoft Purview for data governance and data lifecycle management.
This service helps an organization implement Microsoft Purview to improve visibility, control, and governance of data assets. IT Partner evaluates current data governance and management practices, creates an implementation plan aligned with the organization’s goals, sets up and configures Microsoft Purview, establishes governance policies, processes, and workflows, implements data privacy and protection measures, and supports the transition through knowledge transfer and post-implementation support. Microsoft Purview capabilities referenced for this service include data discovery, data classification, metadata management, policy enforcement, integration with other Microsoft services, and insights and reporting. Data lifecycle management in Microsoft Purview centers on retention and deletion controls — retention policies and retention labels applied across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams — configured in the Microsoft Purview portal.
Confirm project goals, scope boundaries, stakeholders, success criteria, communication cadence, and required access. Review the client’s current data governance priorities, known compliance drivers, target Microsoft Purview capabilities, and expected data sources for assessment.
Review current data governance practices, available policies, sensitive information handling requirements, existing Microsoft 365 or Office 365 configuration, and candidate repositories or workloads. Identify gaps, dependencies, licensing considerations, and implementation risks, then produce a practical Purview implementation plan aligned to the agreed 30-day engagement.
Configure the agreed Microsoft Purview components and baseline governance settings, which may include data classification, retention or lifecycle policy configuration, sensitivity-related governance alignment, data source onboarding where in scope, role-based administration, reporting views, and integration points with relevant Microsoft services. Validate configuration with client stakeholders before moving to transition.
Provide administrator-focused knowledge transfer covering the implemented configuration, operational tasks, policy review process, reporting or insights review, and handover documentation. The included training is intended to enable ongoing management by the client team; broader end-user training or additional sessions should be separately agreed.
Review the deployed configuration against the agreed implementation plan and success criteria, address practical findings from validation, confirm known limitations and next-step recommendations, and complete project handover. Any larger redesign, additional data source expansion, advanced automation, or extended support should be handled as a separate scope if required.
Microsoft Purview Data Lifecycle Management Implementation is a 30-day, $4,500 per project IT Partner service for organizations that need to implement Microsoft Purview for data governance and data lifecycle management.
The service includes an evaluation of current data governance and management practices, a tailored Microsoft Purview implementation plan, Microsoft Purview setup and configuration, governance policies and workflows, data privacy and protection measures, knowledge transfer, and post-implementation support. These activities are included because the engagement is designed to create a unified data governance environment aligned with the organization’s goals.
This service references Microsoft Purview capabilities such as data discovery, data classification, metadata management, policy enforcement, integration with other Microsoft services, and insights and reporting. The exact configuration depends on the organization’s goals, data environment, licensing, and agreed implementation plan.
The listed project duration is 30 days. The implementation plan runs through kick-off, assessment and planning, deployment and configuration, training and transition, and post-implementation support, scheduled around stakeholder availability.
The service is $4,500 per project, quoted fixed-price in writing before work begins. Microsoft Purview licensing is billed by Microsoft and is not included.
The main deliverables are a governance and management assessment with identified gaps, a tailored implementation plan, Microsoft Purview setup and configuration, established governance policies and workflows, implemented data privacy and protection measures, knowledge transfer, and post-implementation support. These deliverables support the service goal of improving visibility, control, and governance of data assets.
Yes — the service includes knowledge transfer and training-related transition activities for ongoing management of Microsoft Purview. The format, audience, and number of sessions are agreed during planning so the handover matches your team's needs.
The prerequisites include necessary access credentials to systems and data sources, an existing data governance policy or a draft that can be refined and implemented, and availability of key stakeholders for reviews and feedback. Microsoft Purview licensing may also be required, but the specific licenses depend on organization scale, data volume, and the Purview features to be used.
No. Microsoft Purview and Microsoft 365 licenses are billed by Microsoft and are not included in the implementation price. The licenses required depend on organization scale, data volume, and the Purview features in scope, and are confirmed during planning.
Training sessions beyond the agreed scope, extended support after the standard post-implementation support period, Microsoft licensing costs, and customization or features outside the agreed Purview setup are not included. These can be quoted separately.
No planned downtime is required. The engagement configures Microsoft Purview policies, governance workflows, and integrations alongside your production environment; any change with potential user impact — such as enabling retention or deletion actions — is scheduled and approved with you first.
After implementation, IT Partner provides knowledge transfer for ongoing management and a post-implementation support period agreed in the project scope. Extended support beyond that period is available as a separate engagement.
