Orchestry Launches Game-changing Tools for Microsoft 365 Security and Governance
VANCOUVER, BC, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Orchestry, a leading Microsoft 365 management platform, has announced the release of two highly anticipated features: sharing links reporting and remediation, and broken inheritance reporting and remediation. These innovative tools are designed to provide organizations with unparalleled visibility and control over permissions, addressing critical security risks and compliance challenges. Controlling permissions and ensuring secure access in Microsoft 365 environments has long been a headache for IT teams, particularly with thousands of shared files and folders creating unseen vulnerabilities. Orchestry's new sharing links reporting and remediation feature offers a cutting-edge solution, efficiently identifying outdated or risky sharing links, and dramatically reducing the need for time-intensive manual audits. 'The sharing links reporting and remediation feature is a game-changer, helping customers scan an average of 40,000 links per 1,400 workspaces. That's thousands of potentially risky or outdated links surfaced automatically—saving hours of manual audits and reducing compliance risks,' said Orchestry CEO Michal Pisarek. Key functionalities include comprehensive sharing link reporting across Teams and SharePoint, advanced filtering options for targeted audits, and bulk deletion capabilities to remove outdated links with ease. Additionally, detailed insights into link behaviors, such as creator and last accessed date, empower organizations to proactively secure their data and minimize risks. Complementing the sharing links feature, Orchestry has also introduced broken inheritance reporting and remediation to tackle another persistent issue in Microsoft 365. Broken inheritance occurs when custom permissions override established group- or site-level settings, creating unmanaged access points. Orchestry's solution offers an intuitive dashboard to detect and classify broken inheritance instances, pinpoint their origins, and restore proper permissions with a single click. With these tools, Orchestry delivers what IT teams have long sought but could not achieve with out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 tools. By automating permissions management and highlighting risks, Orchestry provides a scalable governance framework that enhances compliance, reduces manual workloads, and secures sensitive data. Orchestry's latest release also introduces new features to further enhance Microsoft 365 governance and efficiency. These include expanded sensitivity label visibility in Workspace Review, periodic Workspace Privacy validation, and Search & Copilot Visibility for sensitive workspaces. In addition, Orchestry launched the industry-first Copilot Readiness Dashboard, consolidating 13 governance signals to provide a unified assessment of an organization's preparation for integrating Microsoft Copilot technology. Beacon 2.0, a read-only, streamlined management tool, also debuted as part of this release, enabling partners and administrators to achieve comprehensive tenant-wide reporting at a fraction of the cost. 'These latest enhancements continue our mission of transforming Microsoft 365 management for our customers,' added Pisarek. 'With a laser focus on governance, security, and operational efficiency, Orchestry is setting the bar higher for M365 administrators facing increasing complexity in their environments.' These features mark a significant leap forward for Microsoft 365 security and governance, helping organizations move from reactive management to proactive risk mitigation. They're just the latest example of Orchestry's commitment to innovation in delivering robust, enterprise-grade solutions that simplify Microsoft 365 administration and governance. About Orchestry Orchestry is an all-in-one enterprise-grade Microsoft 365 management platform that provides unparalleled predictive insights and automated governance.

Merger of French and Swiss business software firms heralds new unicorn
ZURICH: A merger between French business software provider LumApps and its Swiss peer Beekeeper will create a new unicorn worth about $1.1 billion, the two companies said. The deal announced on Wednesday, which is due to complete this month, is backed by British private equity group Bridgepoint, which was previously a major shareholder in LumApps and will hold a majority stake in the new firm. "Midterm, an IPO or a trade sale are options. With the U.S. and Europe being our core markets, both would be great (IPO venue) candidates," said Beekeeper CEO Cristian Grossmann. The new firm's headquarters will be in Lyon, the home of LumApps, whose CEO Sebastien Ricard will lead the business. It will have approximately 600 employees worldwide. Unicorns are unlisted start-ups valued at at least $1 billion. Such firms are comparatively rare in Europe. LumApps makes software that companies use to run their intranets. "We are trying to augment or even replace products like Microsoft's SharePoint," said Elie Melois, chief technology officer of LumApps, which is used by the likes of Airbus and luxury goods group LVMH. While LumApps products are mainly used by office workers, Beekeeper has an app that allows frontline staff to communicate with the rest of the company. Beekeeper, founded by graduates of ETH Zurich, counts Swiss retailer Coop and Heathrow airport among its clients. Within six months, the merged company aims to introduce a unified platform. Current revenue of around $150 million is expected to double to around $300 million by 2030. LumApps already turns a profit, and Beekeeper aims to break even this year. "The combined group will be profitable from day one," Melois said.

How GenAI Is Driving The Future of Legaltech Start-Ups
Lawyers need new ways to interrogate thousands of contracts Technology start-ups targeting the legal profession continue to grow at speed. The global 'legaltech' market was worth $31.6 billion last year, according to analysis from Fortune Business Insights, and could be worth $63.6 billion by 2032. However, in one area of the legaltech market where technology might be expected to have a huge impact, there is a growing sense of disillusionment. Contract lifecycle management (CLM) software enables enterprise legal teams to automate and standardise at every stage of the contract process, from creating and reviewing new contracts to storing every single agreement the business enters into in a form that can be analysed for risk and enhanced performance. That sounds highly attractive – but research has warned that almost half of CLM implementations are falling short of expectations. Those disappointments have seen other companies steer clear of CLM software. A recent survey from legaltech start-up Zuva found the majority of businesses are instead sticking with traditional document management systems, storing and managing contracts with tools such as SharePoint and Google Drive, or simply leaving them on local drives around the enterprise. Min-Kyu Jung, co-founder and CEO of legaltech start-up Ivo, thinks this is a huge missed opportunity. Legal teams need tools that enable them to put the data in their contracts to work, he argues. If lawyers are able to easily search and compare all their contracts, they can, for example, identify standout risk exposures, easily create new contracts that align with the business's policies and priorities, and negotiate from a better-informed position. 'Legal teams need intelligence at their fingertips that is contextual, instant and deeply reliable,' says Jung. 'Every contract should be a strategic asset.' Companies such as Ivo and Zuva think legaltech solutions built with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can resolve many of the problems that have dogged CLM software to data. Zuva's research points out that existing CLM products struggle to extract information and insight from contracts, and to understand the relationships between documents and the obligations they contain. Ivo's Jung makes a similar point. It is this week launching two new GenAI-based tools – Repository and Assistant – which aim to address these issues. He describes the launches as part of 'a growing shift in enterprise software from systems of record to systems of understanding'. Using GenAI, Ivo's tools enable legal teams to set up dashboards of their contracts, recording key insights, and to conduct natural language searches of contracts to find particular terms or features in potentially hundreds of thousands of documents. I first interviewed Ivo earlier this year, when the company unveiled a $16 million Series A funding round. Since then it has doubled its customer base, signing up around 100 legal teams – including the legal functions at prominent businesses including Lindt & Sprungli, Fonterra and Hootsuite – to its first product, a contract review tool. Jung hopes the launch of its new AI tools will accelerate its growth. 'We know many companies, right from the top of the business, are looking to all their functions to explore artificial intelligence tools that deliver value,' he says. 'We're also seeing a lot more sophistication from legal teams that have a much better understanding of the limitations of existing CLM software and a clear view of what they want from new solutions.' It is the advent of GenAI that is enabling legaltech providers to respond to this demand, Jung adds. 'I don't think the kind of products we're now launching would have been possible a year ago.' Indeed, research published last year by Innolaw found that while around 50% of CLM products used some form of AI to extract data, 'the use of GenAI in CLM software is still mostly hype-driven'. That is starting to change, with a new report from Gartner suggesting more than 70% of legal function leaders now intend to implement GenAI solutions within the next couple of years. It points to a growing number of legaltech firms offering these solutions – including ContractpodAI, GEP, Icertis, Ivalua, Luminance and Zycus in the natural language space.
