In 2022 Cadeler, a Danish hybrid construction and shipping company, switched to Microsoft SharePoint to handle important files and documents. With its goal of being a key supplier for offshore wind energy development, Cadeler required a stable and secure cloud-based solution for data security. The company chose SharePoint for its flexibility and data security, and with the help of iGlobe's Office2SharePoint, the company now has an optimized SharePoint experience that saves time and increases efficiency in file and record handling. The SharePoint site was built to meet ISO standards for records management and customer requirements, with a focus on security and compliance.

Microsoft will begin a phased rollout of its EU Data Boundary solution to public sector and commercial customers in the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) on January 1, 2023. The EU Data Boundary will allow customers to store and process their customer data within the EU Data Boundary for Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform, and Dynamics 365 services, greatly reducing data flows out of Europe and building on Microsoft's industry-leading data residency solutions. In later phases, the EU Data Boundary will expand to include the storage and processing of additional categories of personal data, including data provided when receiving technical support. Microsoft will publish data flow documentation on the EU Data Boundary Trust Center webpage to provide transparent data insights for customers whose services will be included in the boundary.
