📧 New Email Limits on Microsoft Exchange Online - Important Update for Canadian Organizations! 🚀 Starting January 2025, Microsoft Exchange Online will introduce stricter limits on bulk email sends, setting a cap at 2,000 emails per mailbox per day to external recipients. These changes are key to boosting the security of digital communications and aligning closely with the principles of the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which emphasizes the necessity for clear consent and unsubscribe mechanisms. Essential Actions for Tech Teams: - Ensure Compliance: Align your email marketing strategies with both CASL and the new Microsoft policies to prevent penalties and disruptions. - Strategize Effectively: Modify your approach to manage the distribution of bulk emails, considering spreading out campaigns or exploring alternative communication tools. - Tech Integration: Implement robust email automation technologies that can handle subscriber segmentation, schedule emails according to new limits, and manage compliance requirements efficiently. This update is certainly a step in the right direction. I still receive far to many unsolicited communications that originate from the major cloud email providers. 🔗 For detailed guidelines on adapting to these new regulations, check the full updates on Microsoft's tech community blog and contact Fusion Computing Limited to learn more.

We've helped many Canadian organizations develop or refresh their data strategies over the past two years. I enjoyed this article and we take many approaches that align here. Business/use-case driven, focus on data quality, democratization of data, and starting ground up through high-value POC's and Pilots. Another key component is designing your data architecture to align with your strategy, and choosing a partner that can help you navigate through technology options. Love to chat data strategy with anyone that's building one, needs help getting started, or has best practices and successes to share. https://lnkd.in/ghwdD7FF #datastrategy #genai #datamodernization #aws #azure #databricks #snowflake

☁️☁️ Cloud adoption is accelerating, and Canadian organizations are focusing on the next horizon of growth. Our survey 200+ Canadian executives and public services leaders, including interviews with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google #Cloud and Microsoft Azure, indicates that #cloud is becoming less about technology, and more about enabling business value.
